You’re Probably Overlooking These 5 Business-Friendly Social Media and Directory Sites

November 14, 2018 By admin

You’re “on LinkedIn,” as they say. You’ve got a Facebook company page up and rocking. Your corporate Twitter is firing on all cylinders, hashtagging up a storm (on brand, always).

What are you missing?

Among other things, these five business-friendly social media and web directory sites whose audiences — captive or otherwise — don’t entirely overlap with the “Big Three” business social properties. Here’s why you need to be on each, and how to get there without isolating key audience segments.

 

Table of Contents

  • 1. Angel.co
  • 2. Crunchbase
  • 3. Pinterest
  • 4. Instagram
  • 5. Snapchat
    • Use Your Brand Wisely
    • Wait! Before You Go, Read:

1. Angel.co

Angel.co is first and foremost a job posting site for startup gigs. It’s frequented by entrepreneurial types looking to hitch their wagons to the next unicorn — or, failing that, add a line or two to their CVs.

With a narrow but highly motivated audience, Angel.co generates unusually high-value leads. That’s great news for the companies that bother to create Angel.co profiles (and listings, if applicable). If fast-growing companies like Instacart and SeatGeek feel this way about Angel.co, maybe it’s worth a closer look.

 

2. Crunchbase

Crunchbase is another directory site, albeit with a wider and more equanimous purview. This is a great place to highlight the pedigrees and accomplishments of your company’s key leaders.

The Crunchbase profile for film producer David Mimran is a great example: as one half of the leadership team at Mimran Schur Pictures, Mimran is a man worth knowing, even if he never appears before the camera.

 

3. Pinterest

Surprised? It’s not just for recipes anymore.

These days, Pinterest is a powerful social marketing tool that’s tailor-made for influencer-driven campaigns.

Once you’ve created a halfway decent Pinterest page, seek out talented pinners whose interests align with your own and see if you can’t come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

 

4. Instagram

Another surprise — unless you’ve been paying close attention to Instagram for the past couple years.

Even if you don’t use Instagram to market to decision-stage prospects, it’s fantastic for showing off your company’s looser, human side.

Don’t be afraid to mix business and pleasure (within reason) on your corporate Instagram handle; those stunning sunset pics aren’t going to share themselves.

 

5. Snapchat

Nothing like saving the biggest surprise for last, right?

Okay, maybe this one isn’t a surprise if you have a teenager in the house. In truth, Snapchat has long since flown its youthful coop. It’s a slightly less stuffy version of Instagram, at this point — and it has the business bona fides to prove it.

Don’t believe it? Take a spin around Snapchat for Business and see for yourself. Whether you’re keen on a full-screen ad (old school!), a tasteful filter, or an edgy lens, Snapchat’s advertising products are remarkably varied (and remarkably lucrative).

 

Use Your Brand Wisely

Social media giveth; social media taketh away.

It’s up to you to ensure that you stay well within the guardrails of polite discourse and audience-appropriate branding, no matter how feisty your followers get or how dire a particular brand threat grows.

Remember: for many of your customers, your social media properties are your corporate (or personal, or both) brand. All it takes is one misstep to sever the bonds of trust.

    I am slowly but surely gaining traction on Instagram, Erik. Too many sweet travel images to share, to ignore it 😉

    Hello Erik,

    Wonderful Post and list of some good Business directories. I am a big fan of Crunchbase and it is very intuitive to use it. The listing gets activated instantly. Thanks for sharing these sites with us all.
