Tricks to Increase Conversion on LinkedIn

 

1. Updates containing words “top” can be shared more often: People are naturally more inclined towards things that are either extremely good or bad. The polarized contrast can draw people’s attention. Similar to how people search for Top SEO Companies in NYC instead of SEO companies in NYC.
2. Containing links in your post lead to higher engagement: It sounds like a cliche but one of the main reasons why you post online is to let the customers know your company better and familiarize them with your brand. Adding a link is the shortcut.
3. Add questions in your post: People are curious animals. Questions can pique their curiosity and thus make them more interested in your service or products.
4. Add images—one of the most straight-forward way to showcase your company: the images should be relevant and distinctive. You expect your potential customers to read the message from your picture at first sight. Besides, posts with images can generate 98% more comments.
5. Add Videos—the other most straight-forward way to showcase your company: In the past two blogs, we analyze whether video advertising is good for your company and whether you should choose Youtube or Vimeo to update your videos. To illiterate, videos satisfy people’s preference for passive information consumption. You can engrave your brand into customers’ minds without them even noticing it. One important note: you will generate 75% more shares if you link your videos on LinkedIn.
6. Encourage your employees to engage: Believe it or not, the people who work for, or with, you are those who are mostly likely to engage with your company’s update.
7. Install the LinkedIn recommendation button on your company’s page: LinkedIn users can comment on your products on your company’s LinkedIn page. Most of the time, their recommendation can be your selling point.
8. Schedule your post: It has been tested that LinkedIn users often check LinkedIn updates on computers in the morning, and on their mobile devices in the evening. However, it is better if you find out the specific time that’s best for your company to make impressions, and build engagements.
9. Send personalized messages to your potential customers: Don’t miss out on LinkedIn’s InMail feature. You can simply create a message and attach your link to it.
10. Add Customized Banners: Another overlooked feature on LinkedIn. You can set up a banner that shows your company’s contact information (email, link, phone number, etc. ) and a logo.
