Make Use of Brand Advocates
The people that love your brand are your best promotional tool. Instead of putting your focus on new customers, leverage on the existing ones and use them to do your marketing. You can also include your employees in making the brand as both teams will help in creating a social media guideline for your brand. They will also track data and advice areas of improvement.

Even though guest blogging and other metrics are crucial for your business, they are not an assurance to the success of your social media campaign. Your audience has to know that you are not a robot. Present your personality by putting in some emotions and humor so that the audience can vouch for a relation with your brand.
