But there’s a problem:

All of your competitors want that too. With over a billion users on Instagram, almost three billion – on Facebook, and TikTok developing a cult following, no one wants to miss out on such a vast audience. And that's where a huge challenge for social media marketers comes into play.

It's the need for creating engaging yet relevant social media content that attracts the right audience and converts them into loyal followers and potential customers in the long run.

In 2021, when authenticity, diversification, and social consciousness are among the top social media trends, content subject and visual representation matter more than ever.

In this guide, you'll find out how to design social media posts to skyrocket engagement and conversion in the coming year.

2020 has been incredibly challenging for small businesses.

Repeated lockdowns have forced businesses to close or, at the very least, adjust their offerings in some way.

The pandemic hasn’t made it easy, and businesses of all sizes have had to adapt quickly to keep up with the ups and downs.

For many, it’s been a devastating year for revenue.

‘Does using a 3rd-party posting tool like Sendible hurt my brand’s organic reach and engagement on Facebook?’

It’s the million-dollar question that every social media marketer wants the answer to.

Why? It’s simple. If you spend hours every day crafting social media posts, you want reassurance that they’ll have the best possible chance of being seen by your brand’s Facebook following.

...Because when your posts are seen by the right people, the likelihood of conversions and ultimately, sales, are increased.

With so much at stake, it’s unsurprising that so many theories exist to explain why posts might not perform as well as hoped.

For every marketer who blames third-party scheduling tools for their posts’ declining organic reach on Facebook, there’s another who will hold Facebook’s ever-changing algorithm responsible.

So, what is the role of third-party tools in the success of your brand’s Facebook posts?

In this guide, we set out to decipher exactly that. How? By carrying out our own research into the engagement and reach of Sendible users’ Facebook posts.
