Social media graphics such as GIFs, static images and even flow hyper lapse video (also known as time-lapse videos) are meant to grab your audience's attention in a second, and let them go in a minute. My first suggestion when creating any social media graphic is go simple, yet powerful and memorable. We talk more about this in my video. Consistency is also important. If you are always thinking of your consumers, they will always be thinking of you. Social media is a great platform to reach a wide audience. It also allows you to provide information to close followers, clients, and customers. It is a great tool to get your company culture “out there" and it’s interactive. Social media graphics are an important part of building your business on social media since it attracts attention and helps with:

• Brand awareness

• Brand promotion

• Brand recognition

Tips When Creating Your Social Media Graphic

1.) What to use:

• The company's branding guidlines should be sought out first for inspiration, then see how far you can take it, so that it still reflects the company’s image while staying fresh and innovative.
• Use a simple message. Keep it concise and informative.

2.) What to stay away from:

• If you don’t have the copyright to publish, then don’t. That could be a very costly mistake.
• Colors that compete for attention rather than compliment each other.
• Too much information (lengthy copy).

Try to place yourself in the reader’s/viewer’s positon. It’s always a good idea to let fresh eyes look at your work before publishing as well.

• It was found that tweets with images received 150 percent more retweets than tweets without images.
