If you’ve already included social media marketing in your business plan—great! Just make sure you’re consistently posting, engaging, and evolving with the platforms. If not, now is the time to act. Social media is no longer optional—it’s essential to building brand visibility, customer loyalty, and long-term sales.
Your Competitors Are Already There
Do a quick search on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn for your competitors. Chances are they’re already engaging your customers, sharing updates, and building relationships. If you’re not showing up in these spaces, your competition just might be doing it for you.
Mobile-Friendly Content Matters
Consider this: in 2025, the global average daily time spent on social media is about 2 hours and 21 minutes. And nearly 88% of that usage comes from mobile devices. That means your content must load quickly and display cleanly on phones and tablets.
Visual Content Wins
Instagram alone has 2 billion monthly active users in 2025, with over 500 million logging in daily. It ranks as the third most-used social platform. Platforms built for visual storytelling deliver the best engagement—so prioritize authentic photos and videos.
Monitor Conversations Around Your Brand
Even if you’re not active, customers are talking. On Twitter (now X), there are around 600 million monthly active users, while LinkedIn tops 1 billion members. Review feedback, answer questions, and resolve complaints. Silence can create openings for competitors.
Tailored Platform Strategies
- B2B Companies: Focus on LinkedIn for networking and industry credibility.
- E-Commerce Stores: Platforms like Pinterest (≈ 553 million users monthly) and Instagram work wonders for visually appealing products. Integrate storefront features on Facebook too.
Stay Mindful—and Sustainable
While engagement is key, be aware of emerging trends and user sentiment. For instance, concerns about mental health and “digital detox” are rising . Balanced, mindful content keeps your audience’s trust and respect.
