Photos Are Worth a Million Likes & Retweets
For individuals, sharing photos on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc. is second nature, but as the digital landscape is now a visual place, photos should be an integral part of all your digital marketing efforts. Consumers expect to see pictures from their friends, so why not from brands too? The use of photos can help increase brand awareness & engagement on social media as well in other forms of marketing. Show that you are cool and fun!
In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that images are crucial to boosting social engagement & awareness. A study by Twitter found that tweets with images receive an average 35% more retweets than those without. Just like Facebook and Instagram, Twitter engagement can be boosted with photos. Similar results were observed on Facebook by researchers from Stanford University, who noted that the average post containing a link earned 20 likes. A post built around a picture earned nearly 500% more likes.
If you are looking to boost social media engagement and brand awareness, the use of photos at an event is a great way to start. However, be aware that not all photos are created equal. Not only must you share high-quality photos, you must also allow them to share photos that interest the friends following them.
