It&#8217;s great for engaging with customers and fellow professionals in your industry via replies, retweets and hashtags. Short, sweet and straight to the point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pinterest<\/strong> is a pinboarding site that allows users to both publish original content and &#8220;re-pin&#8221; others&#8217; posts. When planning your social media strategy, bear in mind that Pinterest is heavily image-based. If your products are visual, this could be the social site for you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instagram<\/strong> is even more image-heavy than Pinterest, and groups similar posts together using hashtags. As well as publishing your own photos, you can also &#8220;re-gram&#8221; other people&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vine <\/strong>is a highly visual social network of a different kind &#8211; instead of still images, it hosts short videos, which makes the platform perfect for product demos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you know more about some of the key players, you can start thinking about which platform(s) would best fit your social media strategy, but don&#8217;t sign up for everything all at once.
