You’ve reworked the caption three times, changed the background twice… but what if the real connection comes from just showing up as you?
Feeds are flawless. People aren’t. That’s the magic. What really makes people pause isn’t the polish- it’s the personality.
Social Media Marketing Is About Connection, Not Perfection
People don’t want to connect with a logo.
They want to connect with you, the human behind the brand. The one who’s running a business, chasing big goals, and probably forgetting where they put their phone (again).
So when we talk about social media strategy, we’re not just talking about analytics and posting times. We’re talking about showing up in ways that make people feel something.
Trust.
Relatability.
That “OMG, same” energy.
What Happens When You Show the Humans Behind the Biz?
We’re all a little nosy, it’s called “being invested,” right?
People want to know:
- Who’s packaging the orders
- Who’s behind the camera?
- Who just adopted a new office puppy and named him Kevin?
When you share behind-the-scenes moments, team member spotlights, or even a quick selfie with a real thought (not a sales pitch!) you remind people that there’s a heartbeat behind the brand.
And guess what? That builds connection, which leads to trust, which leads to, yep, sales.
Not Sure What to Post? Start Here:
- Reintroduce yourself (the “hey, it’s me again” post works every time)
- Share something behind the scenes (a real day, not the Pinterest version)
- Brag on your team or your clients
- Post about something you’ve learned recently, even if it was the hard way
- Show a mistake, a blooper, or a work-in-progress moment (spoiler: people love it)
In other words: If it’s real, it’s relevant.
Your Face Might Be the Best Strategy You’re Not Using
We know, it can feel awkward to put yourself out there. But being real doesn’t mean oversharing or being unprofessional. It just means letting people in a little.
In a world full of filters and noise, authenticity is your biggest advantage.
Your audience isn’t looking for perfect.
They’re looking for you.
