Leverage the use of social media

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 audience.

    • 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 using 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 stress.

    • Social media is an opportunity to be informative, helpful, engaging and empathetic.
