4 Tips on how to Engage Sparkies with Social Media
Use social media to create a community of loyal customers. Here are 4 ways to engage sparkies online & become their preferred wholesaler:
- Show Up Online: Posting regularly on social media keeps you front of mind. Share product tips, updates & branch moments. Consistency builds familiarity.
- People Content First: Don’t just post the product — have a team member talk about it. A friendly face builds trust & makes your content more relatable.
- Be Engaging: Don’t just post and ghost! Reply to comments, react to stories & jump into the conversation with your sparkies.
- Keep it real!: Not everything has to be a sales pitch. Share behind‑the‑scenes moments, team shoutouts or sparkie success stories. It makes your brand feel human — not just a business.
