Ad Hoc Posts

In addition to your planned campaigns, mix in some ad hoc posts. These are spontaneous one-off posts that aren’t necessarily connected to a broader campaign, but they still reinforce your overall brand message. This leaves some flexibility in your schedule — making it easier to react to trending topics and hashtags, which you can capitalize on for added brand exposure.

Plan Cohesive Campaigns

The best way to drive a message home is to build a complete campaign.

Oftentimes, brands struggle to keep up with their social posting schedule because they’re too reliant on one-off posts. This makes staying organized difficult. Plus, it’s tough to always be writing posts on the fly without much thought ahead of time.

Typography

Typography’s main function is to make the content easy to read. Most major news sites (i.e. CNN.com, AOL.com, MSNBC.com, and Mashable.com) use Arial because it’s widely considered as the web’s most readable font. But Arial isn’t perfect for every blog.

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are traditionally used to display, you guessed it, quotes. But some sites have started to use this formatting to draw attention to a certain part of the post to try to get you to stop scanning and read the whole thing. This is the magazine equivalent of a call out.
