How to Create your Social Personal Business Personality?

A ‘Personal Business Personality’ is a means of creating a personable business brand which magnifies the character and values of the business and personality behind the business.  It is a benchmark of the values, attitude and interests that is consistently portrayed in your brand and helps your customers (potential and existing) identify with the business.

·        Write down what you stand for? Your character, value and interest or passions (personal and business).

·        Promote you vision and values on several linked social platforms

·        Identify who is interested in your vision and why?

·        How can you reach them? Select the preferred social platform based on your audience.

·        Create content that is of interest to your audience.
