Tumblr Advertising Do's And Don'ts By A Long Island Advertising Agency

By Rob Sutter


Tumblr is a unique social media platform for numerous reasons. Not only does it focus on microblogging, which falls between short and long-form written content, but the audience the platform in question draws is considerably younger than the audiences others bring in. For reasons like these, a Long Island advertising agency may want to know how they can advertise on Tumblr. Here are a few do's and don'ts that will help get you started.

DO position yourself as a content creator. Content is part and parcel of the social media experience, but this is especially true when it comes to Tumblr. There is a bevy of long-form blogs, videos, and GIF sets that make this platform stand out from the rest. In order to promote oneself on this site - and the likes of fishbat will agree - position yourself as a content creator first. Your success in the business world won't matter as much to the site's younger crowd.

DON'T let your content go untagged. To further advertise yourself on Tumblr, make use of tags. These are found at the bottom of every Tumblr post and relate back to the content being shown. Furthermore, they will make the content searchable for you and your user base. If you include tags that simply aren't relevant to what you write, not only will your work be less searchable but your account may not be in the best standing.

DO respond to those that reach out. One of the other defining traits of Tumblr is the ability to send "asks," which are direct messages that you can answer directly or publish on your account. Regardless of what you opt for, there are numerous benefits of doing so. You will be able to keep in touch with your user base, but the fact that it may bring additional content to your page can't be denied either. As we've covered earlier, content is king.

DON'T overlook your competition, no matter how minimal it may seem. For those that feel like they're not getting the most out of Tumblr, it doesn't hurt to look at the competition. What are the types of content they create the most? Are they using paid placements on the site? By better understanding your competition in this respect, you will be able to make beneficial changes to your strategy. Don't outright emulate what you see, though, as there's a good chance you'll copy their shortcomings as well.
