Put Social Media to Work for You

Here are several quick and easy tips you can start applying today. Reach the right prospects with the right message, engage your audience and improve your business:

  1. Be strategic
    Customize your content to make it relatable to your local audiences.
    • For example, to target your geographic location, use language that appeals to your community or mention regional landmarks.
    • This is not a “set it and forget it” activity. Plan your social posts with our quarterly social calendar.
  2. Be visual
    Industry research shows images can gain twice as much engagement as plain text.
    • Use our graphics to tell a story, share a statistic or start a conversation. People tend to retain more information if it’s paired with a visual.
    • Strengthen your marketing efforts with our four-step plan.
  3. Be human
    Above all else, your audience needs education, with a human touch.
    • Families and communities turn to you as their trusted partner, protecting them against emotional and financial damage.
    • Social media is an opportunity to be informative, helpful, engaging and empathetic.
