Locowise reminds us that
[quote]Facebook videos and photos work much better for organic reach and engagement. Does each and every of your posts feature an interesting image or a video? It’s worth reworking your content calendar to include some original multimedia. Not only that, but also think about how the introduction of live streaming and 360-degree videos fits your strategy.[/quote]
