This innovation is the key to bring large number of audience to social media platforms. The openness of these social media platforms allow its users to experiment with your social media strategy.

1) Interactive content: We have been seeing various organizations and individual users extending their presence to social platforms as a part of their branding and marketing strategy. Social media is all about conversation, and this conversation has to be interactive and open. You can be selling directly on social media, and this is where most of the organizations go fail with their social media campaign.

There are various ways through which you can do that. First and foremost is analytics, response to your content in terms of fans, followers and connections, and many more. This tracking allows you to understand your standing in the social media market, and alter your strategies accordingly. It is very true that you have to be very consistent in your social media campaign; however, this consistency has to be coupled with experiments and innovations. The foundations remains the same, only external elements keeps on changing.

3) Stay connected: It is always essential to stay connected with your target audience. This helps you understand their behavior, requirements, and pain points. This knowledge makes 'give and take' with your audience more interactive and innovative.
