A new year brings a fresh start and what better time to not only freshen up your self, but your business' social media too?

Here are a few suggestions on how to clean up your act on social media for the New Year...

1. Is your social media account right for your business?

Plenty of businesses create a social media account without researching whether it is the right platform for them. If your Facebook page is not driving people to your website or reaching your client base, try a different platform. Find out which social media accounts your potential customers are on!

2. Update your information

Has your company moved? Do you have a new telephone number? Different opening hours? Make sure all of your business and contact information is up-to-date on all accounts (don't mix messages!) and is easy find!

3. Engage as much as possible!

I know you will have heard of this time and time again but great content and actually engaging with your potential customers really does work! Make a point of answering questions that people ask or talking with people who interact with your social media accounts.

4. Don't become an addict!

It is very easy to become 'addicted' to a new social media platform, but make sure you are not constantly updating your news feed or messaging someone late at night! If you do it once, it'll be expected all the time!

5. Keep your eyes open

Make sure you are up to date with the hottest social media platforms and find out whether they would benefit your business!

Lastly, have fun! Social media is the perfect place to share your business' friendly and approachable attitude, ultimately attracting more potential clients.

Encouraging new potential leads to approach you (following social media, signing up to blogs etc.) is the perfect way of attracting customers with inbound marketing for the year ahead!
