Promotion & Demand on LinkedIn®

Use LinkedIn® to build demand and attention for products, services, events and other offers.

A Framework by Fox Tucker

My Why Are You Really on LinkedIn®? framework is based around the simple idea: LinkedIn® becomes much easier to use when you understand what you actually need it to do for you.

My framework separates those reasons into two broad groups.

Transactional reasons: Connected to outcomes you want to achieve – across your career, commercial opportunities, promotion and demand, or the management of a brand or channel.

Intangible motivations: Things you build over time – your reputation, relationships, knowledge and growth, and contribution to others.

They are different, but they rarely operate in isolation.

Promotion & Demand covers the transactional reasons for using LinkedIn® that are tied to generating attention and response around something specific.

This subgroup contains two Primary Reasons: Promoting Products or Services and Event Promotion. The common thread is intent – you want the right audience to notice, understand and act.

Promoting Products or Services

If this is your Primary Reason, your LinkedIn® activity should help the right professional audience understand the value of what you offer. Useful content, proof, relevance and timing matter more than simply increasing post volume.

Event Promotion

If Event Promotion is your Primary Reason, the objective is usually awareness, registrations, attendance or participation. Your content should support the event journey before, during and after the event.

Supporting Motivators

Credibility, Trust & Influence, Networking and Thought Leadership can all support Promotion & Demand by making the audience more receptive before the promotional message appears.
