For better or worse, regardless of whether you love social media—or believe that it’s the worst invention since black licorice (sorry, black licorice lovers), you’ve gotta admit, social media is an incredibly effective way for brands to communicate with their core audience. 

Actually, when you really take a moment and think about it; social media is the perfect way to not only inform your audience of your startup’s offerings—but also a way for your brand to: share its content, exhibit tone and personality, as well as provide customer service online. 

And Threads’ latest feature, has now made it that much easier for startups like yours to do all of the above—and then some!

Why Threads is where it’s at

If you didn’t know, you should know that with an estimated 500 million monthly active users, since its launch on July 5, 2023, Threads is now by far—the fastest-growing major social platform in the world!  

Requiring an Instagram account to use the service, Threads was designed to give users an alternative to Twitter (now X); serving as a microblogging platform created by Meta to provide users a "positive and creative space to express your ideas.”

How the platform’s new feature could help your business 

If your startup doesn’t already have an account on Threads, here are 3 reasons why you should create one. And if those reasons aren't convincing enough for you, perhaps the latest addition to one of the platform's most popular features will help you get there. 

That’s because Threads has now expanded its community feature out of beta and added new requested features to it. 

Launched last year as a way to further compete against X, here are a few ways the latest expansion of the feature could be beneficial to your business:

• It allows you to reach most relevant audiences: Communities are organized around specific interests, making it easier to participate in conversations with potential customers.

• Foster relationships rather than just advertise: Your business can convey expertise and opinions—as opposed to simply pushing promotional posts.

• Establish brand authority: By consistently providing useful information in a niche community; your brand could become more recognizable within that particular audience.

• Discover leads organically: Your company could monitor conversations in communities to identify questions, problems, and needs your products or services could solve.

Taking advantage of the latest features added to social media platforms could be an absolute game-changer for your startup’s bottom line; while also giving your startup an unfair brand awareness advantage over competitors in the market who aren’t already active on the platform. 

That being said, by not doing so—could also put your business at a disadvantage as well.
