4 Ways to Up Your Social Game

1. Be Visual.
The government doesn?t have any regulations on images in financial advertising?yet! So take advantage of imagery?s powerful emotional impact and share images on social media that will build a positive association with your brand in your audience.Images are 40% more likely to get shared on social media than other posts!

2. Tell personal stories.
Everyone loves a story about personal triumph over adversity. Chances are most of your customers have one, and a good portion of those stories include a happy financial outcome. Tell these stories of personal triumph on social media to see a major boost in overall engagement. It’s cheaper to use real people telling true stories instead of hiring actors and writers!

3. Quizzes and contests.
Contests and quizzes are an ideal option for financial service providers to use on social media. They compel your audience to engage with your brand and can be as inexpensive to run as the cost of the prize you give away.You can avoid a lot of the regulatory headaches, because they?re not ads!

4. Listen and be receptive.
More and more people are using your financial institution?s social media channels to get customer service?whether you want them to or not. Instead of trying to conceal public complaints, embrace them as an opportunity to cultivate a public reputation as an excellent customer service provider.Opening up social media channels will reduce time and money spent on fielding phoned-in complaints.
