Facebook is rebranding itself as an umbrella โ๏ธ corporate brand, under which many family sub-brands operate including Facebook app, Messenger App, WhatsApp, Instagram etc.
Facebook Corporate Umbrella brand new logo is 'capitalized' as FACEBOOK. The umbrella corporate logo will be displayed on its sub-brand apps as 'Instagram from FACEBOOK'. See ๐ pic.
With only 29% of Americans know that Facebook owns WhatsApp and Instagram, the rebranding initiative is to make everyone know that FACEBOOK is associated with its sub-brands.
It will be interesting to see how corporate FACEBOOK association with its umbrella sub-brand (WhatsApp, Instagram) will be perceived as.
What is your take on the FACEBOOK move to associate itself with its sub-brand family (Instagram, WhatsApp)? Will it be beneficial for the trust factor of the family sub-brands?
๐ค 'Select a niche & stick to it. Talk to it, ' says our founder Qureshi ๐.
''1. Write down a list of your top 10 in a statement ( like a 25-year-old, works in....., lives in....., likes ....., main goals in life are ...... detailed can follow later)
2. Circle the 3 most important buyer profiles that truly speak to you. These are your most important profiles which bring most of the business (80% of sales).
3. Eliminate the other 7 you listed. Just cross them off, despite if they hold weight or some level of importance. The other 7 striked off are less lucrative targets, therefore, any effort invested in them steals away dedicated focus and energy from your three highest-priority audience/buyers persona.
The point is to to everything on that list except for what you have declared, in your heart-of-hearts, to be the 3 most important audience. These are what you should put all your effort and focus on achieving. The rest are merely .'' (Buffet)
4. Now detailed personal profiling of the top 3 personas can be done. Note: It can be even 1 or 2 personas depends on the resources.
The process is completely inspired by Buffet ๐. I tweaked numbers and the last step to keep it realistic.
Want to learn how to document your buyer's persona? What are the right questions to ask to go granular with your audience profiling?

Power of Group. Facebook has geared up a lot to make FB Groups central to Facebook experience in 2019.
๐โโ๏ธ Small Business Facebook Tip. A Facebook business page is a must for you. Now Facebook business pages can access FB groups. The feature can be a game-changer for scaling for small businesses.
Media personalities, influencer or anyone using his/her personal brand will benefit from this change.
Small business corporate brands can also explore. After all social media content creation and scaling is all about 'refine and define.' You can always try and test.

Happy Monday.
Last week one morning, Khatija Qureshi adapted & changed ......
her client's planned Twitter social media post. Why?
Her response:
Because was trending on Twitter (in Canada) today. I worked on content around the theme of the trending hashtag.
If using , you can drive more engagement by researching for trending daily & using them in the content.
๐ฑ When you log in the Twitter, 'Trends for you' appears on the right panel. See ๐. Five or Six hashtags list will be displayed. Choose the hashtag which has most tweets & aligns with your brand values.
๐ฑ Research on the Twitter search bar to know how other content creators use the #. You will have clarity on hashtag theme.
๐ฑ If the hashtag fits your brand tone/voice/values, then create a relatable piece of content with matching visual/video.
I usually do this twice a week.
Curious what is all about. It's pretty hilarious? Make a guess below what this # is all about.
PS: I didn't use the top hashtag as the theme didn't align with my client's brand values/voice/message.
