Align your goals. Your goals for visual content should align with your larger marketing plans and business objectives. Think about big picture objectives, such as to improve branding, attract new prospects and leads, help close sales, and drive additional sales.

Know your audience. Create and use buyer personas, which should include each persona’s behaviour on social media platforms. This will help you form precise goals for your images.

Measure results. Constantly test the results of your visual content marketing. Repeat what works, augment what doesn’t, and don’t be afraid to try new things—as long as you’re measuring results, no experiment will be wasted.
