Social Media Marketing Tips - Breathing Personality Into Your Brand  
By: Heather Kaspar, BAS, REALTOR, TAA Board of Director
 
 
When using your social media platform of choice, remember that it's not just about showcasing your business & the services you provide. While it's important for people to know the services your company offers, its also important to let you customers & followers get a glimpse of who you are. Yes, people choose to do business with you from the referrals of others, word of mouth, & the great job you do for them, and even more basic - you provide a service that they need.  
 
People also like to do business with real people & people they can identify with. Do you love remodeling old homes? Trying out new restaurants in the area? Buying & selling cattle? Rebuilding old tractors? Are you a big supporter of local high school athletics? What you may find is that you could start cultivating new customers that choose to call you because you provide a solution to their problem AND they have similar interests.  
 
You could choose a broad angle and share your favorite recipes once a week, or get more targeted and share before and after pictures of projects you created or refurbished. Spend some time thinking about how you can breathe your personality into your brand.
