Social media has become more and more important in the world of business and many business owners choose to extend their brand recognition with the help of social networks and business networking. If you have decided to try social media for your business, you should know that although all social media platforms look similar, they work in the same manner for all users, helping them spread their message, brand and business image.
Many business owners take advantage of the content part provided by each social media platform to talk about their business but not many take advantage of the opportunities these social media platforms offer through their visual features, the most important being the Logo and Cover image.
These two important elements help you extend your visibility across the website if you have a newly created social media account. The main purpose is strengthening your brand consistency across the web.
