Ways to Use Selfies in Your Marketing

If you would like to capitalize on the popularity of selfies in your own marketing strategy, here are 6 ways you can do so!

1.  Contest: Get fans and followers to take selfies with your products.

Hold a contest that encourages your fans and followers to take photos of themselves with your product. Get them to not only post the photo to your Facebook wall or with a contest hashtag on Twitter or Instagram, but also to share the photo with friends to increase your reach.

2.  Contest: Get fans and followers to take selfies at your place of business.

This is the same idea as #1, however this one is ideal for local businesses. Hold a contest where the best ‘on location’ selfie wins! This one is great for generating a buzz for your local brick and mortar business.

3.  Offer a discount in exchange for a selfie.

How much is increased exposure worth to you? 5% 10%? More? Offer a discount to your customers or clients with every selfie posted to your wall, or posted with a relevant company hashtag on Twitter or Instagram.

You may want to encourage people to take a photo with your product, in your business, or somehow incorporating your logo.

4.  Hold a cause-related selfie campaign.

If you are looking to raise public awareness about an issue or cause while expanding your reach at the same time, holding a selfie campaign could be a good move for you.

 5. Feature a fan’s selfie.

Ask your fans or followers to submit a selfie with your product, and then choose one image to feature as the ‘Fan Selfie of the Week’. Kind of like a contest, but the ‘prize’ is simply the adoration of, and recognition by, the rest of your fans!

The use of selfies shows no sign of diminishing, particularly on social media, so why not leverage their popularity by incorporating them into your marketing strategy?
