Post a meme on Twitter? Done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Announce an event on Facebook? Check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shoot a couple of stories on Instagram and go live again? On it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respond to Linkedin messages? Working on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, rinse and repeat ad infinitum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, wait! I just remembered I haven\u2019t posted on Pinterest for over a month! Gotta fix it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that’s what’s going on in your social-media world, you’re not alone. It’s pretty chaotic and pretty intense and feeding the beast feels never fully done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So ask yourself: Is all of that frenzied effort bringing you revenue and leads? I doubt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want your social-media activity to deliver real results, you need to know your target audience top to bottom \u2014 their interests, approximate daily routine, lunch breaks, and sleep hours. (Why don\u2019t you try one of the <\/em>social media listening<\/em><\/a> tools to get to know your customers better?)<\/em> This data will help you pick the right moments to connect with your existing and potential customers, which is vital when it comes to sustaining and growing your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some scheduling guidelines we’ve discovered in our years of posting on social media. In addition to best practices, you\u2019ll find the best times to post on social media<\/strong> platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Keep in mind that one size does not fit all. You\u2019ll have to identify your brand’s buyer personas and do your own research into their engagement habits. That\u2019s what we did when we created a social media posting schedule<\/a> for X-Cart. It can be hard work but it’s very worth it given the end result of knowing your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, moving forward, you understand that selling your products on social media is not your cup of tea, you can consider selling on Amazon<\/a>. This is a marketplace with a massive community of 95 million shoppers and lots of opportunities for sellers. And, whenever you need any help, feel free to get back to our parent company, Seller Labs<\/a>. Their Amazon experts are only one call away<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a> With 330 million active users<\/a>, Twitter is an exceptional place for businesses to manage customer care and build professional relationships with partners. And, as good support is timely support, picking the right time to post on Twitter is vital. Otherwise, you can miss out on a lot of your potential engagement and leave customers feeling neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most commonly, online shoppers use Twitter to stay up to date with the latest updates about your eCommerce business activities. That\u2019s why we post our company, product, and industry-related news on Twitter 2 or 3 times a week, usually at 1 P.M.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, we love communicating with our partners on Twitter. And we normally do it during working hours when they’re really into work-related processes. That\u2019s somewhere around 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s well known that many people use Twitter to find customer care and get immediate help. While that may be true for many Twitter users and consumers, our online shoppers prefer to reach out to our team<\/a> via HelpDesk or email. And though we’re ready to support them day and night on Twitter, we concentrate our efforts on where our people are and how they want to connect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I.
