What Tumblr Expects of Its Users

Tumblr has now emerged as a highly effective platform that is allowing businesses to win new followers by showcasing their products and services to them.

SynapseIndia feels incumbent upon itself to apprise its readers of the benefits that Tumblr as a social media platform offers to different businesses, which have now found a new tool to pursue online marketing more persistently. Every social networking site requires its users to follow a given set of techniques and Tumblr is no different. If you are really keen to know what your approach should be, you could follow the guidelines written below. It is possible that as you  put the techniques discussed by us into practice, your may efforts may start to bear fruit and your active presence on Tumblr could become a really fruitful exercise.

SynapseIndia will now give a gist of what is expected of a user who has just taken to Tumblr:

1. Make Your Content Interesting

Although this instruction need not be reiterated as it is more of a requisite, you have to ensure that your content is interesting. It is a given that the more interesting your posts are, the greater will be the likelihood that people will read and reblog them. On taking note of the posts that their followers reblog, an account holder on Tumblr can come to know of the kind of content that they need to share with others. Once a user has got a hang of what their followers want, they could try to create interesting content that is quickly approved by their community.

It is advisable to keep a post short and sweet and add a picture to it if possible. Very few visitors prefer to read a long post in its entirety. If you really feel the need to write a long post, you can do so by breaking your entire write-up into short paragraphs. A user will be in the wrong if they simply transfer their content on Twitter and Facebook to their account on Tumblr.

2. Interact actively


Currently, Tumblr serves as one of the best platforms for businesses to interact regularly with their clients. A business on this social networking site can easily be approached by other users who could ask just about any kind of question that they want. What's more, a business can be anonymous in answering the questions of its followers. When a question is answered publicly, every follower will be able to see it and pitch in with their comments if need be.

A business that answers its questions anonymously is likely to receive criticism as well. However, instead of feeling down on being criticized, a company could actually benefit from criticism by  viewing it as an opportunity to introspect and resolve the issues that its followers have talked about.

3. Practice Reblogging

A hallmark of an active user on Tumblr is that they will partake in reblogging. On reblogging the content of its followers, a business shows that it values their opinion

On taking our recommendations into consideration and following them earnestly, a user on Tumblr could start tapping into the opportunities that the social platform provides them with.

Brand Marketing Succeeds in Retaining Its Significance

So, you have often heard of brand marketing but you do not know what it exactly is. Brand marketing is nothing but a strategy or a set of strategies whose successful implementation allows an organization to extract greater accountability and loyalty from its customers. The success or failure of its strategies provides a business with the opportunity to introspect and think of how it can improve the quality of its products and services.  

SynapseIndia would like to enlighten its readers further on brand marketing whose significance amongst different companies has not diminished one bit. When new techniques are introduced, they may create a stir but the tried and tested will remain as important as ever. Brand marketing makes for one of the basics of digital marketing that has remained the same. Earlier, it was by working on brand awareness that a company showed its concern toward marketing. A lot of companies are advised that they focus on direct metrics and conversions and the rationale they are given is that they will be able to identify who they are dealing with.

SynapseIndia, however, is of the view that an organization that focuses on metrics concerning sales must not for once think that it does not need a strong image. One reason why brand promotion has become more important than ever before is because of the two words that comprise digital marketing, the one following the other is of greater significance.

A Different Ballgame Altogether

Earlier, B2B companies did not have to pursue marketing persistently. They would only have had to think of adding something interesting to their brochure. If a business was small, it would have had fewer decisions to mull over. Showing a half or a full page ad in the Yellow Book would have sufficed. Digital marketing, however, is a completely different ballgame altogether as it gives an organization the opportunity to reach out to the smallest of groups. So, any organization that has taken its operations online will consider it mandatory to work toward enhancing its image.

Digital branding allows a company to reflect what sort of entity it really is. As a company launches its own website, issues newsletters, establishes a social media presence and uses other tactics, its brand becomes more important than ever before. Another interesting aspect of digital marketing is that it prompts an organization to willy-nilly compete with other companies that are  situated in other remote locations.

When Seeking Expert Assistance Becomes Imperative


We have now entered the digital age and all businesses today are likely to face some big questions, which may eventually require them to seek professional assistance. Expert help matters as it can allow a struggling company to cope with challenges and revitalize its brand. The world is changing fast and it will almost be criminal on the part of a company if it continues following an old technique, which has failed to make any difference. Once a business has kick-started its operations, it creates an image for itself very fast. However, when a company feels that its brand is accruing little benefit to it, it must take some corrective action.
