1 . Profile pictures
Definition(定义)
A profile picture is the image that represents a social media account in all its interactions across a platform. Profile pictures are displayed next to the account name on posts, comments and mentions, depending on the platform.
Profile pictures make a visual impact on social media users and potential customers, making it important for business to select the right image. For a company, a profile picture should be the best part of that brand’s image (品牌形象), usually combining their logos.
How to select a profile picture
Profile pictures should be easily recognizable as belonging to your business. While using an independent logo is the most common strategy, some brands use a lifestyle image that includes their logo.
Other brands rely more on a person — a recognizable “face of the brand”. If this is your marketing strategy, your profile image should be creative and attractive:
● Use professional photography and design.
● Colorful images are better at catching people’s eyes.
● Photos should be taken in bright light.
● Show a smiling face.
If you have multiple social media outlets, use the same profile picture on every platform to create a consistent brand image.
Above all, use high-quality images. Keep in mind a few basic rules:
● Images should be clear.
● Make images simple and visually striking.
● Always meet the platform’s image size requirements.
If the platform allows, add a description to your profile picture that includes links to your website.
