One of the most common questions I get asked is, “which is the best social media channel for my business?”
That will largely depend on your Target Market.
- What matters to them?
- What keeps them up at night?
- Where do they go to find information?
For example, a 29-year old, single, First Home Buyer is likely going to be more socially active on Instagram and TIK TOK than a married professional couple in their late forties are likely to be.
For most Mortgage & Finance Brokers, I’d recommend these 3 Social Media Channels.

We recently ran a simple QUIZ on each of our Social Media Channels and compared the results after the first 24 hours.
Specifically, we asked: “Which One of these 4 Picture Backdrops do you Prefer?”
- LINKED IN recorded the highest percentage of votes (43%)
- LINKED IN recorded the greatest reach at 2777 (80%)
- INSTAGRAM recorded the highest number of likes and interactions at 186 (41%)
- INSTAGRAM most popular Vote was for Purple at 56%
- FACEBOOK most popular Vote was for Yellow at 48%
- LINKED IN most popular Vote was a three-way tie between Yellow, Purple and Pink
Which goes to prove that each Social Media Platform has its own unique audience with different tastes and preferences as well as varying degrees of engagement.
Which Social Media platform will you choose?
