Congratulations to our winner @hungrygirlyyc . You have won $100 to @candccandleinc! Curious as to how to run your own social media giveaway? Here’s a few tips!... 1 Choose an enticing prize to giveaway - something that you would love to win for yourself. 2 Establish contest rules and guidelines. (Who can win, when is the contest deadline, how will they be contacted, what are the steps to enter). 3 Select a winner! There are numerous sites to help you randomize the winner. This can be done by connecting your platform to the site, or as we did (to ensure each entry was entered on all platforms), you can copy and paste the entry to be randomly selected by a generator. Alternatively, you can do it the old fashioned way and put the names into a basket and draw one lucky winner. 4 Continue to build awareness about your giveaway during the contest. This can be accomplished by posting fun stories to your own social media platforms! Bonus Tip - worried about the validity of the winner when you have close friends and family members entering the giveaway? Record yourself selecting the winner and attach to your announcement post! . . . . . #socitysocial #socialmediamarketing #socitysupportslocal #giveaway

Top five mistakes businesses are making on social media: 1. Assigning social media to their assistant as a when you have time task. 2. Focusing on selling and not building relationships or a branded online community. 3. Not adding hashtags or location to the post for increased searchability.... 4. Inconsistent posting that affects reach according to the Instagram algorithm. 5. Poor photo quality that doesn’t only disengage their following but reflects poorly on the overall quality of their brand Do you find yourself struggling with one or all of these? Let us know how we can help! . . . ____________________________________________________ #socitysocial #socialmediamarketing #socialmediatips
