Awesome tips Ishita! Companies are so afraid of talking normally to their customers that they always seem very robotic and sales-like. Don't know why are brands talking to them like they are a robot who wants to read your corporate speak?

Your customers are human. Your partners are human. Your employees are human. Even your social media fans and followers are human. Humanizing your brand is a requirement, not an option if you want to survive in business today.

Personally i love the second option of humanizing. Speak in a tone, words and rhythm your customers, partners and social community can understand.

Great tips--love this. I saw one the other day that really made sense: Use pictures of real people using products in your ads instead of just studio shots all the time.

Fantastic tips! Here's one of my favorites. Stop cross posting automatically to your different accounts. In most cases, your audiences will have unique tastes and interests across different social media platforms. Cater your posts to these unique audiences for a more personalized feel.

Could not have said it any better Ishita, espcially for 1, 2 and 4. I think those are a MUST in social media. It's all about relating yourself or your brand to your audience. It leads to a lot of great things. If they feel that they have a certain connection, traffic and engagement will surely follow.

Very aptly said!!

I would like to add to this by saying that companies need to involve their customer/end user in content creation process through testimonials.

And who said only corporate houses can have case studies? Even a single client success story will suffice as a powerful case study.

Brilliant post..
We all know these things as a human being but do not apply to our businesses. These are the ethics we learn from our parents... this is not a rocket science which you said above.. but people do not apply it... and when they see the result then they start.. BTW nice examples.
