Public relations is the art of getting your business' name out there by working with the media. The goal is to get your business to be recognized for its achievements, whether it's a local or international endeavor.

Public relations is not just about getting your company's name out there, but also about keeping the public informed about current issues surrounding your business. Whether you are making an announcement or addressing a concern, it's important to address the public properly. Here are some tips that can help you better engage the public through social media.

1. Use hashtags

When you are talking about something related to your business, use hashtags so people will know what you are talking about. For example, #PRSMEssentials is a hashtag I created to let people know this post was about public relation essentials. If someone uses this hashtag, it could create more visibility for my post. Hashtags can be used for different purposes, so if you're unsure about which one to use, do some research on what hashtags are trending.

2. Share your content beyond just your own social profiles

There are many places online where you can share your content, such as forums or comment sections. If you have content that you want to share with other people, go ahead and share it on these websites. It's also important to make sure the content you share is related to your industry and target market. This will help people understand what you do, which increases brand awareness.

3. Respond to comments left on your social media accounts

You want to make sure that you respond to comments left on your social media accounts, even if it's just a like or favoriting the comment. This will show that you are active on your social media accounts and that you care about what people are saying. When responding to comments, make sure to engage with your followers by asking them questions or giving them feedback on what they have said. You can also give them a chance to win a prize by using a contest app such as Rafflecopter.
