littleBIG Marketing Coordinator Kyrah Howell, who works across many of our social media accounts, shared with the team some useful and 2023-relevant posting tips for Instagram and TikTok she found on Social Media Today. We thought you might also find them useful:

Instagram

• Instagram’s key focus for 2023: Inspire creativity, help people discover things they love, and spark connections between people
• Captions: Lead with the most important information, keep copy short and to the point, encourage action with simple, direct text
• Instagram connects similar content. Research what other brands in your industry are doing; see where your content can align
• Best times to post: Mondays at 11 am, Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am and 2pm, and Thursdays and Fridays between 10am and 12pm*
• Instagram says photos will get more focus in 2023

TikTok

• The key to successful TikTok marketing is creating content that aligns with organic posts in user feeds
• Use hooks such as: ‘I wish someone had told me about this sooner…’,‘3 reasons why [product] is the best [problem to be solved}’
• Videos under 30 seconds work best
• Captions: Recommended to keep them short, between 5 to 10 words
• Content inspiration: Explore TikTok’s Top Ads
• TikTok’s For You Page (FYP) is based on recency – usually posts made within the last 90 days
• Posting more won’t increase your reach, creating relevant and engaging content will
