Showing real examples of your products increases transparency and boosts customer trust in your brand.
Tactic # 2 Establish a Strong Online Reputation
Having a strong reputation is key for beauty/fashion brands looking to build a successful presence on social media.
Be careful of posting about sensitive topics like religion, politics or gender, at least that some of those topics are related to your brand voice.
Always reply to your customers inquiries, feedback or claims. This will help to get great relationships with them and demonstrate that you care even after the sale happened.
If a customer posts something negative, make sure to reach out right away and try to resolve their issue.
This will likely result in them having a better opinion of your brand.
Finally, it’s also important to track feedback on all products and services using your social media channels.
Tactic # 3 Create Unique, Interactive ContentAdd Your Heading Text Here
Your content should offer something new from what’s already there.
For example, if you use Instagram, you can post photos with captions that feature useful tips and tricks for makeup application.
Showcase before and after images of customers who have used your products. For fashion it could be how to wear a clothing collection incorrectly Vs the correct way.
Use a software to identify in which posts your brand have been mentioned or tagged. Then compare them and repost the best performing ones on your official account.
Sometimes you don’t have to create something exceptional for your social media, you customers have already created it for you.
Tactic #4 - Develop Clear Strategies for Different Platforms
According to each platform, different strategies ensure your content reaches the right audience.
These are some examples of the differences between the type of content per social media.
Instagram: A good strategy is posting topics related to your brand and photos of your products to encourage customers to buy from you.
Use hashtags related to your industry or product to generate more exposure and reach new followers.
Make sure your content is seen by a wide range of people.
Doing research beforehand on what keywords they may be searching to find products like yours allows the right content to get posted.
And using analytics tools can show how users are interacting with your content, so you can replicate the winners.
YouTube: Live streaming video sessions for your customers featuring makeup tips or fashion styling, will engage them while showcasing your expertise.
If you post videos highlighting customer testimonials it will also help to boost customer trust by providing examples of how they work.
Twitter: Share quick tips or advice while engaging with those who comment or ask questions.
Joining conversations within the fashion and beauty community can generate interest in your brand.
This helps build brand loyalty and ensures that customers come back for more.
Tactic #5 – Use Influencers
This type of marketing increases your brand awareness on social media and in product sales.
Influencers allow new audiences to see real-world examples of how your products are used by them.
It’s very important that you find the right people who align with your company’s values and represent the audience you are reaching.
It doesn’t make sense to promote a women’s fashion business with an Influencer who is followed just by men.
At the same time, use your own channels to let your followers know that the partnership exists. They feel special when a celebrity is using the same products as them and will start sharing the posts.
Don’t forget that these collaborations should be mutually beneficial by providing compensation packages.
See what works best for both parties involved to maximize results.
