Create great content<\/h2>\n<p>This may sound like a case of stating the obvious, but it\u2019s worth repeating Bill Gates\u2019 assertion from 20 years ago that \u201ccontent is king.\u201d To grow your audience and your pool of potential clients through social media, it is essential to move beyond pure promotion of your products and create content that architects genuinely want to engage with. This can be done by creating blog posts on your website that you then share on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. But what to share?<\/p>\n<p>Content could take the form of a short walkthrough of a beautiful completed project, an opinion piece on the state of the construction industry or an entertaining feature about the challenges faced by architects \u2014 the key here is to brainstorm ideas for posts that your audience will not only want to read, but also share with their own network. This way, you will find that your clients turn into advocates, raising awareness of your brand and the innovative products you work so hard to develop.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970423590Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.11.18_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>Brands such as KOHLER educate their audience by posting guides and inspiration articles from their blog, but you can also take a thought leadership position by hosting similar articles from outside sources.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>2. Educate your audience<\/h2>\n<p>Following on from the point above, much of the most shareable content on social media has an educational value. There are some classic formats for such articles; you have undoubtedly seen countless headlines starting with \u201cHow to \u2026 ,\u201d \u201c10 Tips and Tricks for \u2026 \u201d or \u201c5 Secrets to Success in \u2026 .\u201d As an expert in your field, you can adapt these templates to fit your own area of knowledge, and insightful and instructive articles will be shared by anyone who thinks your advice could be useful to their peers.<\/p>\n<p>As you build up a digital archive of educational articles over time, you can become a thought leader within your field, the \u2018go-to\u2019 platform for information on a particular material, construction technique or building component. Social media provides a highly accessible platform for disseminating this kind of information and growing your influence, and can be supplemented with in-person events such as seminars and panel discussions \u2014 all of which can be promoted through those same social media channels (see point 5).<\/p>\n<h2>3. Start a conversation<\/h2>\n<p>Often forgotten by big brands that churn out a huge quantity of marketing on multiple platforms each day, the key word in \u2018social media\u2019 is \u2018social.\u2019 Facebook is built for engagement via its commenting system, and a highly effective way to get potential clients involved is to ask them what they think about industry topics that are mutually relevant to both you and them. Questions can range from broad industry-related topics to specific conversations about your product or materials; as long as it sparks the interest of your audience it can be worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy can form a superior alternative to the traditional approach of sending out questionnaires to clients via email, as the transparent nature of social media can spark conversations between multiple people and you can respond \u2018live,\u2019 increasing your brand presence while showing your human side. If a potential client is particularly responsive, you can always hop onto private chat with them to discuss their thoughts further and arrange a meeting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476969155491Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.57_AM.png?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>Bendheim give a behnd-the-scenes glimpse of their plant and a shout-out their employees, lending their brand a &#8216;human&#8217; touch.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>4. Tell your story<\/h2>\n<p>As with any soft marketing approach, social media strategy revolves around building trust with potential clients, which can turn into customer loyalty in the longer term. A powerful way to do this is to show people who you are, where you have come from and what drives your passion for your product. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are great for sharing behind-the-scenes insights into your firm, forming a visual diary that can serve to highlight how your office culture correlates with the products you make.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it is about being genuine \u2014 people are instinctively attracted to companies that have a real human side rather than acting as a faceless brand. Social media is a highly effective way to exhibit your personality, giving you the chance to communicate in a more informal setting than a networking event or seminar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1476970255428Screen_Shot_2016-10-19_at_11.04.40_AM_copy.png?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>This post by Bendheim showcases the beautiful design of Deegan Day Design while simultaneously highlighting their product.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>5. Promote yourself \u2026 AND your connections<\/h2>\n<p>Social media is typically used by building product manufacturers to promote new product lines and invite people to conventions where they will be exhibiting their wares. There is no problem at all with doing this, but it is worth highlighting the work of your clients, too \u2014 not only will they appreciate it, but it also helps cultivate your brand as a home for knowledge exchange and inspiration, as outlined in points 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it is great to share images and information about architects\u2019 projects that include your product, but there is no need to limit yourself to that \u2014 share projects that inspire you personally, promote articles by other thought leaders that align with your philosophies and congratulate clients on their achievements in awards programs like the <a href=\"http:\/\/awards.architizer.com\/?utm_source=architizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A+Awards<\/a>.
