Not sure how to connect with your customers creatively on social media? More people want brands to be social and authentic, not just impersonal businesses. Here are 5 creative ideas for social media to break the ice and build community:
1. Use expressions and memes that fit your audience and business
Align your language and humor with your audience. Memes can boost engagement and visibility—just use them appropriately for your brand.
2. Personalize stickers, filters, and other resources
Create custom stickers for WhatsApp, filters for Instagram, or GIFs for Facebook to connect with your audience in a fun way. Free apps like Sticker Studio, Giphy, and Spark AR Studio make it easy.
3. Encourage interaction strategically
Use calls to action (CTAs) to spark comments and conversations. Ask questions, invite followers to tag friends, and vary your approach to keep things fresh.
4. Use Stories tools like music, polls, and countdowns
Stories are great for closer communication. Add music, run polls, or use countdowns to engage your audience and create a sense of community.
5. Don’t over-edit photos—people want authenticity
Perfect images can feel distant. Mix in spontaneous, behind-the-scenes, or diverse photos to show the human side of your brand and make everyone feel included.
