How HarperCollins Christian Publishing Maintains an Active Community

Building Up the Community

We live in an age where the term “social media” exists ubiquitously in our vocabularies without need of definition or explanation. As individuals and as businesses, it has become as integral to our interactions as the telephone or email.
That said, having a basic understanding of what social media is and how to use it is very different from knowing how to engage with your customers and build a functioning community. Every person starting a business knows that social media can be a powerful way to promote the latest product. But what about the bigger picture?
Rather than a running timeline of ads and promotions, your company’s social media could become a hub for your customers to engage with and support each other as they connect through your product on a deeper level. As a business you have an opportunity to use your social content to foster this connection and strengthen the foundation that ultimately supports you.

In This Episode

  • How identifying your target audience can guide which social media your business should focus on
  • Why you should use social media as a funnel to catch a wider audience that leads back to your product
  • How repeatable campaigns can help your brand stand out and keep your audience engaged
  • The importance of empathizing with your audience when creating targeted ads
