You’ve been posting regularly, using hashtags, and maybe even boosting posts—but your results are still underwhelming. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many businesses struggle with Brunei social media marketing because they’re missing a few crucial pieces of the puzzle.
Common Mistakes
1. No Clear Strategy
Posting without clear goals or target audience insights leads to scattered content that doesn’t convert or engage.
2. Wrong Platform
Not all platforms work the same in Brunei. Businesses often waste time focusing on the wrong channels—TikTok and Instagram, for example, currently outperform Facebook for younger audiences.
3. Low-Quality or Irrelevant Content
Overly promotional posts, inconsistent visuals, and outdated formats can turn followers away. Content must speak to local interests and be visually appealing to gain traction.
Brunei-Specific Factors
Brunei’s population is highly mobile-first, and local culture values authenticity and community. Content that resonates tends to be relatable, visually polished, and locally relevant—think Malay captions, support for local causes, or spotlighting Brunei’s lifestyle and humour.
Timing also matters. For instance, posts scheduled outside of peak evening hours often get lost in the feed.
How to Fix It
- Audit Your Social Media Accounts: Identify what’s working and what’s not.
- Know Your Audience: Tailor content to Brunei’s digital habits and preferences.
- Use the Right Tools: Tools like Canva for design and Meta Business Suite for scheduling can save time and improve consistency.
- Plan Your Content Calendar: Balance promotional posts with educational, entertaining, and behind-the-scenes content.
