What Gets the Best Engagement on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.



Facebook – if you run a Facebook business page you will realise it can be hard to post content which receives engagement. After monitoring posts for lots of our clients our study has shown that photos posted on Facebook receive the most interaction. Especially “behind the scenes” or “action” shots of your company or work place. 

A photo posted on your page is 75% more likely to receive interaction from your followers.
Make sure your photos are of high quality (no blurred images) and best yet if you can add an Instagram style affect i.e. change the colour of the background etc. your bound to get a reaction from your customers.

Twitter – twitter themselves have carried out research to see what sort of tweets would receive the highest engagement. They found that tweets including a photo or video receive 3 to 4 times more engagement e.g. retweets and replies. 

Again, as with Facebook, it is visual content which gets your content to be shared. An extra bonus in adding a photo to one of your tweets is that with Twitters busy timeline an image will stand out more to your audience and encourage them to click on your tweet. (Remember when possible to link back to your website as this will encourage a click on a link)

Pinterest – As with Twitter, Pinterest carried out their own research to find out what were the most popular types of pins. Pinterest found that certain categories performed better on certain days of the week:

Monday – Fitness and Health – Could this be because everyone starts the week with good intentions?
Tuesday – Technology and Gadgets
Wednesday – Inspirational Quotes – possibly to help us all through the working week
Thursday – Fashion
Friday – Humour – well who isn’t ready for a laugh by Friday?
Saturday – Travel – are we all thinking we should have spent the weekend away?
Sunday – Food and Craft – what else are Sundays made for?
