Posting content on social networks is good. But if you have decided to create profiles for your business, it’s mainly because you want to gain visibility. Here are 3 tips for producing viral visual content for social networks.
#1- Bet on the human

The key word is to contextualize your products and stage them with their users, whether you offer windows or clothes.
However, do not forget to subtitle your visuals to make sure that it conveys your message and that it is correctly interpreted by the Internet users. You will also be able to let your humanity speak and show the values of your company.

Think about everything you see shared and shared on your personal social networks, viral publications will look for our feelings (humor, tenderness, anger, surprise …). These are the ingredients that will make users want to share your post, not politically correct or classic smoothed ads.
Of course, this formula is easier said than applied but if before posting content, you cannot identify what emotion can emerge, it is surely that you must consider it under another angle. Do you offer serious services and are used to offering a very institutional communication? Why not break your codes and publish a totally offbeat and humorous visual?

You are at the head of a small business or an SME and you do not have big resources to devote to your publications on social networks, do not hesitate to follow your competitors, your partners, to analyze your own accounts to find the publications that are most successful and inspire you.
The goal is of course not to reproduce identically, with often weaker means, posts that make the buzz. You must be able to find the emotion they have generated and how they implemented it to adapt it to your company, its products, its values …
