Who should use this template?
When should you use this template?
As reach increases, it naturally leads to increased awareness. For businesses, it's important to extend your reach to as many consumers as possible. But even if you reach 10,000 people, it won't make sense if only 1,000 of them are interested in your brand. Sent messages are invalidated and no value is received when ignored. Design your message and content strategy with your target audience in mind. Also keep track of what's shared, retweeted, liked, or replied to. Tracking these interactions will help you find potential users to target, thereby broadening your reach.
