Social media is like a fun game of show and tell! Hello, I’m Joe Laber, The Social Barista and branding expert coming to you from my A Cup of Media home studio in Troy, Ohio. Welcome to A Cup of Social where I aim to give you simple and easy-to-use tips for leveraging the power of social media to help grow your customer or donor base.  I’ve been helping radio stations, small businesses and nonprofits engage with their audiences on social since the days of MySpace back in the early 2000s.  I loved show and tell day in school.  Not only did I get show and tell but more importantly I got to learn from other students through theirs.  When posting for your brand on social think of it like a fun game of show and tell.  On a consistent basis simply show and tell your brand story.  What makes your brand super fun, trustworthy, unique, reliable, the place to be.  I suggest you customize your show and tell pics on social by designing custom branded graphics.  Take pics of products and happy customers.  Be sure to use your logo and brand colors.  If you’re not currently creating custom content and are lost on where or how to start, I suggest a free account on canva.com.  It’s an easy to learn and use web based design platform.  And remember to always keep your post fun and positive.  Please continue to follow me for my next freshly brewed blog. Have a question I’d love to hear from you.  Please email me at joe@thesocialbarista.com.  Thanks so much for joining me and be sure to have a great day on social!
