Loving Your Super Fans: You know those followers who Like, Comment, DM you to just to say thanks, engage with all your stories.. have you shown them love lately? This time of year is the perfect time to show them love back and we’re making it real easy for you.
Get Love, Give Love
Showing your followers love on the ‘Gram doesn’t just say thank you - not to mention it feels good, but it also helps Instagram know that you have a strong and REAL relationship with your followers. Grow your loyalty and keep getting your content in front of your tribe on IG with these 5 easy tips.
1. Check your Tags
I'm talking about hashtags and tagged photos. Make sure you like and comment on them - acknowledge they were thinking of you and show them they were seen and heard.
2. REPLY (to EVERY comment)
That’s right… EVERY comment. (You can get a pass on the bot comments.) I recently heard a comparison to how we should engage with social media comments that was so accurate I wanted to share. Before social media, if you overheard someone saying something about your brand or company, would you sit there and stay silent? Or would you turn around and say thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad we delighted you and that you had a pleasant experience!? Treat your comment section the same way.
3. Engage on Their Profile
Get out of your own 'hood and pay a visit to theirs. Get added insight on who your true fans are and leave a delightful surprise for their notifications!
4. Shout Them Out
Shout your Super Fans in your stories or tag them in a featured post. You can thank them for “the best comment ever”, or a "just because" ... Something so simple from YOU can brighten their day and strengthen their bond with you. Can you imagine how many of your followers will want to land on your radar when they know you're actually paying attention?
5. Give the Gift of Love
If you have a product or skill that can be delivered physically or digitally, send it to one lucky follower just as a small token of your appreciation -with no strings attached. It's a great practice of giving back with no expectation (always a good habit), but if you did your research right, and this is a super fan, you will make a greater impact that you could have ever planned for!
