6 ways social media managers can win with humor

There is a way for your business to show a little personality and be funny on social media.

Granted, well-known businesses have bombed with jokes, but overall, posting a joke will have customers laughing and garner new fans.

To be successful at humorous posts, keep the vibe natural and low key. Let’s go through some other ideas for how to inject humor into posts.

1. Everyday funny

This is an easy way to make a lighthearted joke or pun. Take a look at what you do or sell every day and ask yourself what’s funny about it. Let’s say you run an accounting firm. You could post on the well-known meme with “Keep Calm and Carry On Reconciling.” Or you could post a photo of a mother and baby that reads, “I love you, my little tax credit.”

2. Viral

Jump on the bandwagon. Viral videos are a great way to connect with your followers and fans. If you connect it to your business in a joke, even better.

3. Would your mom find it funny?

Keep your jokes clean and family friendly. Don’t post jokes on politics, race, gender, religion or any other no-no topic. Remember that your posts represent your organization to the world.
