I get the following question a lot… A LOT!
Should I build social media channels before my website launches?

The answer? Yes, Yes and YES!

Proper social media presence for your brand and website can and should start before that website ever goes live! Social media for start-ups – websites and blogs, is key to a successful launch! Build your audience, begin building your brand and start interacting with people who will be your champions for your new venture.

Be strategic with your social media accounts and play to your strengths. If creating images isn’t your strong suit, but interaction is, perhaps videos and Snapchat may be a better use of your time than Instagram. Of course, the social media strategy you employ depends on your business. If you are a handmade shop, you can’t afford to neglect the image-heavy social media websites as the more people that can see your product, the larger customer base you will create.
