You’ve spent the time, energy, and brainpower creating social content. In today’s curated article VerticalResponse, a small business marketing software suite, brings us a slew of suggestions to make your marketing stretch a further. From posts to user generated content, the article uses a fictitious salon to clearly and concisely illustrate best practices for social repurposing. Maximize value by designing and utilizing content that is suitable for multiple channels. This could be by slicing up longer-form pieces into slivers that are appropriate for social media; or condensing social posts into lists that are appropriate for blogs and websites. Don’t forget, information should be bidirectional. Listen to your fans and followers for testimonials, reviews, and interesting use cases.
