Getting people to consider your brand may feel like an uphill battle. Especially when you see all your competitors out there, doing their thing! But how can your brand be considered on a daily basis?
Let’s look at the second concept within the social media marketing funnel namely; Consideration.
What is Consideration?
Consideration means that you get potential customers/leads to consider your brand as opposed to your competitors. It’s a way to guide your target audience to take action, by choosing you! Social media has become a powerful tool to accomplish just that!
Why is Consideration Important?
A consideration post is important as it is the guide for your potential customer/lead. These posts help guide the thoughts, actions, and decisions of your target audience to choose your brand instead of another. It helps highlight the benefits and advantages they get when they choose your brand!
What Is The Perfect Consideration Post?
A perfect consideration post is a social media post that effectively communicates your brand’s benefits, and advantages, while also capturing the attention of your target audience (potential customer/lead).
The Example

Let’s break down what makes this awareness post effective:
- Attention-grabbing headline: The headline is short and catchy, making it easy to read and understand. It also includes a play on words to make it more memorable.
- Clear message: The post clearly communicates the company’s new line of specialty roasts and emphasizes the quality of the beans and the roasting process.

- Visually appealing: The post could include an image of a steaming cup of coffee or a bag of coffee beans to make it more visually appealing.
Overall, this consideration post is effective at introducing the company’s new line of specialty roasts and encouraging coffee lovers to try them out.
