How to Do Social Media BETTER: 5 Tips to Elevate Your Game

Social media can be one of the most powerful tools to grow your organization, connect with your audience, and build your brand. But let’s be honest—many businesses struggle to make it work. Why? Because they focus on being perfect instead of simply being better.

At Hasseman Marketing, we believe the goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress. The key is to consistently get a little better each day.

If you’re looking to improve your social media presence, here are 5 simple tips to do social media BETTER for your organization.  And if you want to dive deeper into this, head HERE to get the Hit The TARGET book for free.


1. Give Value First

Too many organizations treat social media like traditional advertising: Buy this. Hire us. Look at us. But social media is different. It’s about building relationships, and relationships thrive on value.

Ask yourself:

  • How can I help my audience?
  • What can I teach, inspire, or share that will make their lives better?

Providing value could mean sharing helpful tips, answering FAQs, entertaining with behind-the-scenes content, or offering inspiration. When you lead with value, people will engage, trust you, and stick around for the long term.

Remember: give first, ask second.


2. Be Consistent

Social media is like fitness—you can’t post once or twice and expect results. You build trust and credibility with consistency. Whether you post daily, three times a week, or weekly, the key is to show up regularly.

Here’s why consistency matters:

  • It keeps your brand top of mind.
  • It builds integrity (your audience knows they can rely on you).
  • Social media algorithms reward consistent posting.

The good news? You don’t need to go viral to succeed. Small, consistent efforts over time create meaningful results. Keep showing up, and the growth will come.


3. Post More

If you’re struggling with social media growth, ask yourself this: Are you posting enough? Many organizations are hesitant to post frequently, worrying about “bothering” their audience.

Here’s the truth: social media is a free tool to grow your business. Use it!

The more you post:

  • The better your reach and engagement will be.
  • The more opportunities you have to connect with your audience.
  • The more content you can test and learn from.

If you’re not sure where to start, try this:

  • Share updates about your team, products, or community involvement.
  • Post tips, quotes, or behind-the-scenes videos.
  • Repurpose older content into new formats.

Social media is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets.


4. Engage With Your Audience

Social media is a two-way street. If someone takes the time to comment on your post, comment back! Engagement isn’t just polite—it’s how you build relationships.

When you respond to comments or messages, you:

  • Show your audience that you care.
  • Build a loyal community around your brand.
  • Increase the visibility of your posts (engagement boosts algorithms).

It doesn’t take much—a quick “Thank you!” or a thoughtful reply can go a long way. The brands that succeed on social media don’t just talk at their audience—they talk with them.


5. Gather Information

Social media is not just a place to post—it’s also a tool to gather valuable information for your business.

Here’s how you can leverage it:

  • Encourage people to sign up for your email list.
  • Use polls or surveys to learn what your audience wants.
  • Offer lead magnets (like free guides or webinars) to build your database.

Your ultimate goal should be to take your audience off social media and into your ecosystem—like your email list—where you can communicate directly. Social media is borrowed space, but your list? That’s something you own.


Social Media: It’s About Progress, Not Perfection

Social media doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small, follow these 5 tips, and focus on getting better—one post, one conversation, one audience interaction at a time:

  1. Give value—be helpful, inspiring, or entertaining.
  2. Be consistent—show up regularly to build trust.
  3. Post more—take advantage of this free tool.
  4. Engage with your audience—reply, connect, and build relationships.
  5. Gather information—turn your audience into lasting relationships.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s about showing up, providing value, and putting in the work over time. That’s how you’ll grow your brand, strengthen your community, and do social media BETTER.

Powered using 2xAA batteries, the durable stainless steel whisk spins at 14,000 rpm! The On-Off slider is simple to use and makes for easy, one-handed frothing.

Positive:  The people who like this will LOVE it!  This is a cost-effective way to reach those who want to upgrade their drink experience.

Negative:  It will take some explaining.  Not everyone will “get it.”  That being said, an opportunity to explain the product is often an opportunity to grow your brand.

Proline 12' Tape Measure

Proline 12′ Tape Measure

Measure mastery for branding accuracy. The ProLine 12′ Tape Measure provides a reliable tool for precise measurements. Featuring a 12-foot pull and press-to-lock mechanism for hassle-free operation, the tape is a 1″ scale with 1/16″ increments. The rubberized finish ensures a comfortable grip during extended use, and the built-in wrist strap and belt clip enhance portability. Perfect for construction companies, builders, material suppliers, renovators, and home care.

Positive:  This is incredibly functional.  In nearly every office and organization, there is a need for a measuring tape.  In addition, there are plenty of opportunities to build a campaign around “does the competition measure up?”

Negative:  Some organizations are looking for “new and trendy” and this might not fit the bill for that.

.33 Oz. Stain Remover Pen

Who doesn’t want a product that removes mistakes?  We all do!  This functional, cost-effective stain remover pen is a great event piece that targets anyone trying to keep their brand clean!

Positive:  Everyone makes messes, so this translates to most industries.  In addition, this is more cost-effective than the brand-named alternative!

Negative:  This item might skew female.  So it’s important to know your audience.

Left/Right Scissors

You can always tell our favorite products by whether or not we do them for ourselves.  We have done these scissors more than once!  They are functional, great quality, and have a wonderful imprint area.  These are great pieces of branded merch that people will keep for years.

Positive:  Everyone can use a great pair of scissors.  But often, you can’t find them when you need them.  This solves that!  Your brand will be on the fridge or in the cubicle for years!

Negative:  The only thing we can come up with is that they are tough to travel with.  These are cool unless your organization might think they could get “a bit stabby.”  lol

Oversized Carry-All Tote

The versatile size of this tote makes it perfect for traveling, vacations, and other outdoor events. Very large open main compartment with a wire rim that gives the bag its shape and sturdiness. Choose from trendy chevron colorways or the always-popular graphite finish.

Positive:  Many of the items on this list are based on functionality.  This is no different.  Everyone can use this tote at the beach, pool, or any place you carry…well…anything.

Negative:  While super functional, this item might skew a little female.  So if you have a male-dominated audience, this might not be for you.

The Wizzard Comfort Stylus Spinner Pen seamlessly blends stress relief with an enjoyable writing experience. This executive metal pen features a stylish houndstooth pattern fidget spinner that effortlessly whizzes with a flick of a thumb. Paired with the matte soft-touch barrel and gunmetal trim, it creates the perfect promotional pen. Your brand will stand out with the large imprint area, and the smooth writing ink with push retraction ensures a joyous writing experience.

Positive:  These pens are addictive!  And the cost of this one will not break the bank.  If you do these pens, get ready for people to ask for them!

Negative:  While there are definitely more expensive spinner pens, these are not inexpensive writing instruments.  That being said, we think it’s worth it when people ask for your branded merch by name!

Breakaway Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Break away from a boring listening experience! With the Breakaway speaker, you can get a true stereo sound. Simply twist the left and right side and you can separate one speaker into two, filling even large rooms with high-quality surround sound. A silicone sleeve makes it easy to twist back together and take with you wherever you go.

Positive:  There are lots of positives on this one.  Great sound.  High perceived value.  And cool factor!  What do you mean it turns into TWO speakers?

Negative:  While these are a great value, they are more expensive than some of the other items on this list.

7 Promotional Products You Need To Know About In July

If you are new around here, let me let you in on a little secret.  We love Branded Merch.  We believe it’s one of the best ways to build a long-term brand.  With that in mind, last month we created a blog featuring the 6 Promotional Products you needed to know about in June.  Well, this month we want to show you the 7 Promotional Products you need to know about in July. It’s the 7th month…and there are 7 products!  Get it?  This month we have items that are fun or functional (or both).  And if you want to skip the line and go straight to order information...you can head here.

7 Promotional Products You Need To Know About In July

Our goal is to show you some timely, and hopefully trendy, promotional products that will hit many different price points.  In addition, we will tell you what we love about the products…but also some drawbacks as well.  Let’s dig in!

Black & Gray Palm Dipped Gloves

No matter your walk of life…everyone needs gloves.  Breathable gray knit gloves, cut, puncture & abrasion-resistant thin black nitrile coated palm. Form-fitting with great grip on dry surfaces, oil resistant. A thin palm provides great dexterity. Great for auto mechanics, assembly, technicians, delivery drivers, yard work, gardening…and so many more!

Positive:  Can you say “functional?”  We believe the best branded merch is functional.  And no matter what you do, there are times when you need a work glove.  So that means that the perceived value on this item is much higher than the actual cost.

Negative:  If you are looking for “trendy new products,” then this one might not be for you.

Power Bar 3000 mAh with USB-C and Wrapper

One of our best and most popular power banks now has a 3,000 mAh battery capacity and a USB-C input port. With fully customizable design options, the Power bar is playfully disguised as an ordinary nutrition bar. Our amazing Power Bar continues to represent our core principles in providing you with products that are practical, enjoyable, and meaningful. Pair the Power Bar with any brand that encourages the healthy spirit of play in their daily work culture.

Positive:  This is such a creative and useful product.  Not only do you have a functional power bank that clients can use for a long time to charge your device, but the packaging can totally stand out and tell your story.  Show your creativity and this can be a home run.

Negative:  It does need good artwork and creativity to take this home.  Don’t just slap a logo on this one or you will miss the real impact.

Microfiber Scrubber Golf Towel

Measuring 16″ x 25″, this innovative microfiber golf towel has anti-scratch scrubber loops on the back side to clean the club head or golf ball. It’s designed to dig deep into the groves of the golf club. Great for promotional events, the front side is a soft absorbent microfiber that can be embroidered or edge-to-edge printed with your company logo or custom design.

Positive:  Great imprint area with the sublimation with vibrant imprint colors.  In addition, the scrubber on the backside of the towel is really functional.

Negative:  This is very seasonal.  Now is the time to order these if you want them for golf season in much of the country.

 

uni-ball® Jetstream Sport

Exclusive, low-viscosity Super Ink™ combines the quick drying time of a ballpoint with the vibrant color and smoothness of a gel penuni Super-Ink™ technology protects against water, fading, & fraudInk color matches plunger color (white barrel features black ink)Point size: 1.0mmThe sleek body and form-fitting comfort grip make JetStream pens a perfect choice for everyday writing, journaling or color-coding notes.

Positive:  This is a really nice writing pen.  When you hand this out, your clients and prospects will keep it for a long time!

Negative:  This is not the most inexpensive pen.  If you are looking for a cheap pen, this might not be the one for you!

Ghostbuds

Experience audio excellence and flaunt your style. These sleek earbuds deliver Exceptional Sound with 13MM speaker drivers, delivering audio that’s crystal clear. With up to 6 hours of playtime on a single charge plus an included ultra cool Compact Charging Case, your music never skips a beat. Ghostbuds are carbon neutral and crafted from 52% recycled materials. These earbuds can be decorated in 48hrs at a 1pc minimum. 2nd life packaging: the box transforms into a charging stand.

Positive: This one has many positives, but let’s start with perceived value.  When you give these to employees or great customers, they will be overjoyed with the value and the cool look (and sound).

Negative:  Depends on the audience.  If you have an employee base or customer list that does not mesh well with tech items, this might be a stretch.

2-in-1 Marker/Cutter

File this one under, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”  This box cutter/marker is an inexpensive promotional product that nearly everyone can use.  We fell in love with this one so much, we did these with our own logo.

• Four-section blade with locking slide.
• Felt tip permanent marker.
• Slotted cap for snapping off dull blade pieces.

Positive:  This is just so functional.  From restaurants to realtors to any other business that receives shipments (that means everyone), this will be coveted.  Combine that with the fact that they are only around $2…and you have a winner.

Negative:  The pushback is always simple…safety.  Some organizations don’t want to hand this out because of travel or perception.

Magnetic Bowl Set

Ideal for storing small parts (hardware, fasteners) while you work in your garage or workshop – use at any angle.
• 6” stainless steel magnetic bowl, 3.25” magnet on bottom.
• 3” stainless steel magnetic bowl, 1.625” magnet on bottom.
• Rubber-coated magnetic base prevents scratches on finished surfaces.

Positive:  If you have ever worked on a project where you needed to take something apart, then put it back together, the appeal is clear.  Give me someplace to put the screws so they don’t “walk away.”

Negative:  It’s a fairly niche piece.  You might think “blue collar” versus “white collar” but those lines are blurring for sure!

Thirsty Thursday – It’s A Yeasty Liquor!

Welcome to another episode of Thirsty Thursday, where we explore the fascinating world of beverages, one sip at a time. This week, we’re diving into a mystery drink served in a 3 oz mini mate shot glass from Modern Glass. This intriguing little glassware piece is not only perfect for our tasting adventure, but it also sparks our imagination for other potential uses. Imagine using it as a unique giveaway at events or as a fun element in team-building activities. But for today, it’s all about the mystery drink it holds.

Our mission is to unravel the secrets of this drink. Is it a yeasty liquor? Does it taste like watered-down vodka or beer? Or is it something entirely different? Join us as we embark on this tasting journey, share our initial impressions, make wild guesses about the flavor, and finally reveal the true identity of this mystery drink. So, grab your shot glasses, sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Tasting the Mystery Drink

As we take our first sips of the mystery drink, our taste buds are immediately intrigued. The flavor profile is complex, with a yeasty undertone that reminds us of a well-crafted liquor. It’s not overpowering, but it’s definitely there, adding a unique twist to the drink. It’s almost like a watered-down vodka or beer, but there’s something more to it, something that we can’t quite put our finger on just yet.

Our initial impressions are mixed. The yeasty flavor is unexpected, but not unpleasant. It’s a taste that’s hard to describe, but it’s definitely intriguing. We’re curious to find out more about this drink, and we’re eager to continue our tasting journey.

Guessing the Flavor

As we continue to taste the mystery drink, we start to speculate on its flavor. Could it be a pineapple-infused vodka? Or perhaps a fruity beer? Our guesses are all over the place, but there’s one thing we all agree on: this drink is unlike anything we’ve tasted before.

Finally, the moment of truth arrives. The mystery drink is revealed to be sake. We’re surprised, but in retrospect, it makes sense. The yeasty flavor, the subtle complexity, the hint of fruitiness – it all adds up to a well-crafted sake.

Opinions on Sake

Now that we know we’re drinking sake, our opinions are divided. One of us is a fan, enjoying the subtle flavors and the smooth finish. The other, however, is not as impressed. It’s not that the sake is bad, it’s just not to their taste. And that’s the beauty of tasting – everyone has their own preferences and opinions.

Despite our differing opinions, we all agree that this sake-tasting experience has been a fun and enlightening journey. We’ve learned a lot about this traditional Japanese drink, and we’re eager to explore more in the future.

Characteristics of Sake

So, what exactly is sake? It’s a Japanese rice wine made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran. The result is a drink with a subtle flavor and a unique character. It’s not as strong as vodka, but it’s not as light as beer either. It’s somewhere in between, with a complexity that’s hard to describe.

One of the things we love about sake is its versatility. It can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be mixed with other drinks to create interesting cocktails. For example, try mixing sake with orange juice for a refreshing and unique drink. The possibilities are endless!

Conclusion

As we wrap up our Thirsty Thursday episode, we can’t help but reflect on the fun we’ve had with the mini-mate shot glass from Modern Glass. It’s been the perfect vessel for our mystery drink, adding a touch of elegance and fun to our tasting experience.

Overall, we’ve enjoyed this yeasty liquor adventure. We’ve tasted, we’ve guessed, we’ve learned, and we’ve had a lot of fun along the way. We can’t wait to see what the next Thirsty Thursday brings. Until then, cheers!  Oh…and if you want to see all of the cool branded drinkware featured in Thirsty Thursday, check out our shop here.

6 Promotional Products You Need To Know About In June

Our goal is to show you some timely, and hopefully trendy, promotional products that will hit many different price points.  In addition, we will tell you what we love about the products…but also some drawbacks as well.  Let’s dig in!

coolie cappy combo

The Coolie Cappy Combo

The Coolie Cappy Combo is a unique and practical solution for promoting your message and keeping your drinks at the perfect temperature. This combo includes a full-color beverage insulator and a handy Cappy can cover gadget that transforms any can into a spill-proof container. The insulator is made from high-density foam to reduce condensation and keep drinks cold, making it great for outdoor events and picnics. The Cappy clips onto the tab of a can, and can be opened and closed to prevent unwanted things from getting in, spills, retains carbonation, and has a key ring hole for easy portability.

Positive:  This is a super cool piece for outdoor events with the team or your customers.  What we love about this product (or product combo) is that it is a conversation starter.  When you give this away it will give you the chance to explain the product and show the audience how much you care.  No one wants to have a bee (or anything else unwanted) to surprise them in their drink.  This helps protect from that!

Negative:  It’s a conversation starter because it needs an explanation.  The product DOES come with instructions, but how many of your team (or customers) actually even read an email?

Overall, we really like this because it’s timely (especially for summer events), it’s unique, and it really is useful, once you explain it!

Lightweight Loop Terry Beach Towel

Enjoy spa-level treatment from the pool to the beach with this super absorbent towel! Measuring 30″ x 60″ this, promo weight hemmed 100% ring spun cotton loop terry towel is perfect for budget-friendly promotions and summertime giveaways.

Positive:  We are a big fan of Beach Towels.  They have a high perceived value, a HUGE imprint area, and they are kept for a long time.  Studies will tell you that the average beach towel is kept for at least 7 years.  That means that most are kept longer than that.  We certainly never seem to throw them out!

Negative:  Since the imprint area (and the item) is so big, the setup charge is larger too.  It takes a lot to cover that much area!

Overall, we are big fans of the beach towel.  They show appreciation and are used for years!

Fabric Clip Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Enjoy your favorite music from anywhere. The Fabric Clip Waterproof Bluetooth® Speaker easily clips to your favorite bag, letting you bring it to the pool, the park, or to your next house party. Enjoy hands-free operation with built-in microphone and music controls. The 5W output fills any room with quality sound. It has an IP67 waterproof rating, which means it can submerged under water without damaging.

Positive:  We have always said, if you can give an item that enhances your customer’s life AND ties to their phone, it’s a home run.  This can be both.  In addition, we are getting more and more requests for WATERPROOF speakers.  Apparently everyone thinks they are going to be near a pool or lake this summer!

Negative:  You need to know your audience.  If you are spending money on an item in this budget, you want to make sure it’s an audience that will appreciate it!

Overall, we love it!  This item speaks to quality, function, and summer fun.

Mini Beachcomber Bag / Tote

The made-for-one personal beach bag to hold your essentials for a day of relaxation. The 15” x 13” size easily holds sunscreen, sunglasses, lotion, flip-flops, a book, and more. It’s waterproof and lightweight, plus it has a comfortable strap which makes for easy carrying. A bold full-color imprint option commands attention.

Positive:  These totes are all the rage.  Not only are they functional, but they show that your brand is on trend this summer.

Negative:  These take some time to get in.  They are done overseas, so if you need them in a hurry, they are not for you.  There is a BIG difference in the timeline from air freight and ocean…so make sure you discuss your in hands date.  But if you are interested, now is the time to order!

If your brand is one that is on the cutting edge of trends, this would be a great and functional piece.  Just make sure you order soon!

Positive:  Everyone loves drinkware.  The latest trends show it.  And summer is often vacation season.  So drinkware is perfect for road trips and to makes sure you are hydrated on the beach.  In addition, this product is more eco-friendly than many of its competitors.

Negative:  We are big fans of drinkware, so this is tough.  The one negative might be that there are lots of competitors out there.

Overall, we feel like this one stands up.  It’s great for this (or any) time of year…and it’s got a great price point considering the eco-friendly components.  This makes us want to hit the road!

NBN Recycled Outdoor 15 Can Cooler

The cooler is fully insulated, and its body material is made with recycled material. Through a partnership with 1% For The Planet, one percent of sales of all EcoSmart® products will be donated to nonprofits dedicated to protecting the planet.

Positive:  Everyone can use a cooler…especially this time of year.  And with a giveback component, you can feel great about giving a really nice item that will last.

Negative:  Hmmm…maybe that it ONLY holds 15 cans?
