5 Benefits Of Twitter Fleets

Twitter Fleets

I have tons of Twitter drafts, so I’d love to support Twitter’s new Fleets feature that lets you send ephemeral tweets. The first time I tried Fleets on Twitter, I got 3 views in 3 hours and I have 1,000+ followers. Clearly my first experience was disappointing; however, I’d still like to discuss the potential benefits of Fleets because other accounts could have better results. It was also reassuring when I DM’d a popular content creator who said his Fleets have more views than his Instagram Stories.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Love, Brands

Valentine's Day posts

It’s interesting to see Valentine’s Day posts on social media from brands considering it’s a Hallmark holiday. I’ll highlight the posts I like and ignore the embarrassing ones I stumbled upon. Let’s just say that making a pun about the word “sweet” isn’t going to make the cut. Perhaps you’ll get some ideas for next year!

My favourite Valentine’s Day posts fit into 3 categories: roundups, greeting card templates and community. Roundups are easy to create while greeting card templates require more design resources. In 2018, I wrote about brands creating templates for Instagram Stories, so it’s cool to see this trend continue on a larger scale. Community posts are always a smart choice too!

How Pinterest Helps Me Relax

Pinterest profile

Between my full-time job and blog, I spend a lot of time on social media. At the end of the day, I find myself looking for something calming to look at. Something that doesn’t make me obsess over followers or engagement metrics. Something that’s simply pretty. That’s why I rediscovered Pinterest.

Working on a mobile game about celebrities and fashion led me to spend more time on Pinterest. It lets me uncover the latest trends while seeing content that’s tailored to my style and I love that.

Get Inspired By Kate Spade

Kate Spade has always been one of the top brands on social media in my opinion. Sometimes I named them in job interviews when asked for an example of a brand that’s killing it on social. They have beautiful products, stunning visuals and a recognizable voice. Kate Spade is truly a brand that knows what they’re doing in-store and online.

I was delighted to find out about a new feature on Kate Spade’s website called Unlock Your Heart. By following a few steps, you can instantly create shareable content using Kate Spade’s new tool. Kate Spade’s team knows their customers love reading inspirational messages and now it’s possible to create your own graphics with their branding. Overall, I’ve found that some inspirational messages sound too cheesy, generic or girly, but Kate Spade has so many options that you’re likely to find one (or more!) that you enjoy.
