Get people to put their reading skills to the test with read a book day.

You could also start a virtual book club, inviting your audience to vote on a book, read along together, and share their thoughts or recommendations on social media.

In an email, invite subscribers to choose their own “act of peace” from a few simple options, like doing something kind for someone else, taking some time to switch off, or donating to a good cause. Each choice could then take them to a tailored landing page with something relevant, whether that’s a playlist, activity, recipe, or more information about a charity.

You could bring the idea to life across email and social by taking your audience behind the scenes and showing how the product was made. It’s a great opportunity to make sustainability feel tangible and give customers a reason to think twice about what they put in the bin.

October 2025 social media calendar https://dotdigital.com/blog/october-social-media-calendar/ Thu, 25 Sep 2025 08:00:00 +0000 https://dotdigital.com/?p=77341 Editor’s Note:

Hi, I’m Layla, content producer here at Dotdigital and your go-to for helping you plan your social media calendar. Between autumn aesthetics, Halloween campaigns, and that subtle shift toward the holiday season, it’s one of the most exciting times to experiment with your content.

This month, focus on storytelling that feels relatable. Think:

  • Behind-the-scenes clips showing how your brand is prepping for the season.
  • “Day-in-the-life” content with a fall twist.
  • or quick how-tos that tie into autumn trends like styling cozy outfits, making warm recipes, or curating your perfect Halloween night in.
  • You can even try “expectation vs. reality” or “POV” videos that add humor and personality to your feed.

Short-form content is still your best bet for reach, but make sure it feels natural and fun not overly polished. Use trending sounds that fit your brand’s vibe, show real people, and lean into seasonal aesthetics like rich colors, texture, and cozy details.

October sets the stage for fresh content opportunities, helping you boost engagement and add a autumnal twist to your strategy.

Five golden rules for a successful social sharing strategy  https://dotdigital.com/blog/five-golden-rules-for-successful-social-sharing/ Wed, 14 May 2025 11:47:51 +0000 https://dot.tiltedchair.co/five-golden-rules-for-successful-social-sharing/ Incorporating social sharing into your email campaigns is a powerful way to extend your reach, increase engagement, and build brand loyalty. Our recent consumer insights report, the loyalty divide, found that 72% of your most loyal customers (or as we like to call them, brand loyalists) actively browse social media.

This statistic shows that when you create relevant marketing that genuinely resonates with your audience, they become more engaged and are also more likely to share your content on social media. 

By nurturing these connections and consistently providing value, you not only transform loyal customers into enthusiastic brand advocates but also significantly increase the likelihood that they will choose you for their next purchase.

When done right, social sharing transforms your email content from a one-way message into a dynamic conversation that spreads across social networks. Here are five golden rules to help you master social sharing within your email campaigns.

1. Make sharing effortless

The key to successful social sharing in email campaigns is ease of use. If your subscribers find it difficult or confusing to share your content, they are unlikely to take that extra step. To prevent this, include clear and accessible social sharing buttons within your email templates. These buttons should allow readers to share the entire newsletter or specific content blocks with just one click.

With Dotdigital, you can use an add to social networks link to easily choose which social platforms to feature. Thoughtful placement is essential: position your sharing options in highly visible areas, such as at the top or bottom of your email, while ensuring they don’t compete with your main call to action. This balanced approach helps you maintain focus on your primary goals while making sharing effortless.

Optimizing for mobile devices is essential, as many users check emails on their phones. By making sharing seamless and intuitive, you encourage more subscribers to spread your message across their networks.

2. Create share-worthy content

No matter how many social sharing buttons you feature, they won’t magically transform content that falls flat. To truly inspire your subscribers to share, your email content must hit the sweet spot of being valuable and emotionally resonant. It also needs to be both relevant and personalized.

Our loyalty divide report, shows that while about 73% of consumers feel the level of personalization is “just right,” only 23% consider marketing to be “very relevant.” This shows that personalization and relevance go hand in hand. Relevance means meeting the specific needs of your customer at the right time. 

So, you should aim to create interesting and personalized content that speaks directly to what customers need at that moment. This increases the chances that people will want to share it. For more ideas and inspiration, check out our full customer loyalty report.

3. Encourage active participation and social proof

Social sharing thrives when your audience feels involved and recognized. Encourage your subscribers to engage by inviting them to tag your brand on social media or to participate in contests and giveaways promoted through your emails.

Featuring user-generated content or highlighting social proof—such as follower counts and testimonials—can motivate others to get involved. For instance, you might ask readers to share their favorite part of your newsletter on Instagram Stories or to use a branded hashtag to foster a sense of community.

This active participation not only boosts sharing but also builds trust and credibility around your brand. When subscribers feel like they are part of a larger conversation, they become enthusiastic advocates who are more likely to share your content.

4. Customize your social sharing strategy for each platform

Each social media platform has its own unique audience, culture, and technical requirements. To maximize the effectiveness of your email’s social sharing, tailor your messaging and visuals for the specific platforms you are targeting. 

For example, while Instagram users are often more responsive to visually appealing and casual posts, LinkedIn audiences tend to prefer work-orientated and informative content. When sharing email content to Instagram, prioritize high-quality images or short, engaging videos taken from your email. 

Craft concise and captivating captions that encourage interaction, and make use of platform-specific features such as relevant hashtags to further amplify your message. 

To maximize your social media impact, it’s important to think strategically about timing. Instead of just posting randomly, investigate when your specific audience is most active on each platform.

To determine the best times to post, explore the analytics dashboards provided by each social media platform. These insights offer valuable data on when your followers are online and most likely to engage with your content. 

Look for trends and peak activity periods for your unique audience. By scheduling your posts during these high-traffic times, you can significantly increase the visibility of your content, resulting in a greater likelihood of likes, comments, and shares. This increased engagement signals to social media algorithms that your content is valuable, which can further enhance its organic reach and overall visibility.

5. Track, analyze, and optimize

To sustain and improve your social sharing results, it’s essential to track how your email campaigns perform across social platforms. Use email analytics to measure key metrics such as shares, click-through rates, and overall engagement.

Look for patterns in what types of content and sharing prompts generate the most activity. Testing different approaches, such as varying the placement of sharing buttons, experimenting with different calls to action, or trying new content formats can help you identify what resonates best with your audience. Additionally, stay informed about social media trends and platform algorithm changes to keep your strategy relevant. 

Improve your social sharing today

Social sharing is not just a tactic; it’s a transformative strategy for your email campaigns. By following these tactics, you can turn your emails into viral hits that reach an audience far beyond the inbox. These five essential principles serve as your guide to developing a strategy that not only increases engagement but also cultivates a loyal community around your brand.

How to use TikTok marketing for ecommerce success  https://dotdigital.com/blog/tiktok-marketing-for-ecommerce/ Wed, 20 Nov 2024 09:30:10 +0000 https://dotdigital.com/?p=81349 With the rapid growth and popularity of TikTok, it has emerged as a powerful platform for ecommerce marketing. Leveraging TikTok’s unique features and user base can be the key to success for ecommerce businesses looking to increase sales and brand awareness. 

In this blog post, we’ll dive into how online retailers can use TikTok to boost brand visibility and drive sales. Let’s explore the world of TikTok and how it can transform your ecommerce strategy.

Understanding TikTok’s ecosystem

To effectively use TikTok, you must have a deep understanding of its unique features. Let’s explore the key aspects of TikTok’s ecosystem in more detail:

Demographics and user behavior

TikTok has quickly become a popular platform in the social media landscape, attracting a predominantly young audience with its unique blend of entertainment and commerce. The app primarily appeals to Generation Z and younger Millennials, generally those aged 18 to 34.

Users spend an average of 52 minutes per day on TikTok, with the most active usage occurring during the evenings and on weekends. Understanding these patterns allows brands to optimize their posting schedules and content strategies for maximum visibility.

The algorithm

At the heart of TikTok’s success lies its powerful algorithm. The “For You” page (FYP) curates content based on user interactions, individual interests, and trending topics. This personalized feed is crucial for maintaining user engagement, as it consistently presents users with content that resonates with them.

TikTok users have come to expect short, visually appealing videos that quickly capture their attention. The platform encourages high levels of interaction through comments, shares, likes, and participation in viral trends and challenges. This active user base offers a unique opportunity for brands to connect with a highly engaged and tech-savvy audience.

Platform features and creativity tools

TikTok’s range of creative features distinguishes it from traditional social media platforms. The app provides a broad selection of effects, filters, and sound libraries, enabling brands to produce engaging content without needing professional editing skills.

Additionally, TikTok is user-friendly; even advanced features like green screen effects, transitions, and time manipulation tools are designed for easy use. Some key features on TikTok include:

  • Bite-sized video content: Short-form videos (15-60 seconds) are perfect for quick consumption and easy sharing.
  • Viral sounds and challenges: These trends enhance user engagement and boost brand awareness.
  • Intuitive in-app editing tools: Easy-to-use editing features enable users to create professional-quality content.
  • Interactive features: Tools like Duets, Stitches, and live streaming enhance user interactions.
  • User-generated content(UGC): Encourage user-generated content (UGC) through challenges and interactive campaigns.
  • TikTok Shop: This in-app shopping feature seamlessly integrates ecommerce into the platform.

How to use TikTok for ecommerce

With TikTok’s vast user base and unique features, it’s an ideal platform for ecommerce brands to drive engagement, generate leads, and boost sales. Let’s explore how you can leverage TikTok to achieve your ecommerce goals.

1. Utilize TikTok leads for direct engagement

With just a few clicks, TikTok leads capture essential data such as names and email addresses. This direct approach ensures you receive quality leads that can be filtered for further marketing processes. Additionally, you can customize these forms to meet your specific business needs and campaigns.

You can benefit from automated follow-up emails and personalized messaging based on user interactions, which increases responsiveness and strengthens your relationships with potential customers. By maintaining organized lead information, you can better segment your audience for targeted marketing campaigns.

In-app lead capture forms lead to higher conversion rates compared to traditional methods. Users face fewer distractions while remaining within the TikTok ecosystem, minimizing friction during the submission process.

By offering a straightforward and engaging experience, you encourage more TikTok users to convert into leads. Short, mobile-optimized forms significantly enhance user satisfaction, making it easy for potential customers to provide their information. This streamlined process not only increases the volume of leads but also improves the quality of interactions with your brand.

2. Leverage TikTok audiences for targeted marketing

With its massive user base, TikTok offers unparalleled opportunities for ecommerce businesses to reach and engage their target audience. TikTok audiences allows you to sync your existing customer lists directly to the platform, creating highly targeted ad campaigns that drive sales.
