How to create love for your brand
Tug at the right heartstrings: Choose the best social channels for your objectives. You can use different social channels to reach different audiences or meet different business goals. 7 in 10 Facebook users say that they use the platform to communicate with friends and family, making this the most popular activity on Facebook. Meanwhile, 77% of TikTok users say that they use TikTok to look for funny and entertaining content. Get strategic and align your content with what's motivating people to use each social network. Your brand will fit in more naturally that way - because no one loves being interrupted.
