Bold and Beautiful Design
Better Content
While this is not necessarily by design, Tumblr does seem to many to offer more appealing content. This may also be because it has not become a mass medium like some of its competitors. Ultimately you will not find less users posting trivial items about their day to day activities. You are more likely to end up with witty, intelligent and creative material; however the same is expected from you also as a publisher.
Less Censorship and More Freedom
Some of the major social networks have become so paranoid about maintaining their mass fan base and being politically correct that they are taking a hard stance on anything remotely controversial. Tumblr is more personal and yet a more open medium with less censorship. It also does not press you to use your real identity if that suits you. The focus is on what you share rather than who you are and this can be a very liberating feeling.
Better Privacy and Improved Identity
Tumblr offers greater privacy in ways that you probably never imagined. For instance, on Twitter you will likely be judged by your number of followers, no matter what you have to share. But on Tumblr you can hide that information and let your content speak for itself. You can schedule posts like Facebook but unlike Twitter. Your Tumblr posts are searchable like Twitter but unlike most of those in Facebook. In this instance, you’re more-or-less getting the best of both worlds.
Young Audience
Research has shown that Tumblr is very popular among the 13-25 age group. In fact, 61 percent of teenagers consider it to be their favourite social network. If you want to target this younger demographic, Tumblr is where you should start. Starting young also allows you to cultivate long term relationship with people over the years that can translate into something more fruitful later on.
Dofollow Links
Finally and most importantly, Tumblr is a huge boost for SEO, in case you are trying to promote a website through it. Links can be incorporated in Tumblr posts in a more sophisticated manner compared to both FB and Twitter. Also unlike most major social networks as well as online forms, these links are “Dofollow” links. Basically, Dofollow links contribute hugely to the search engine rankings of that of the site that is being linked to. Most public sites choose to keep it “Nofollow” as people tend to spam the sites with random links for SEO. But Tumblr thankfully is one of the last big sites remaining where you can build Dofollow links easily.
Final Thoughts
It’s obvious that Tumblr has many benefits and can be a very strong, complementary measure to enhance your social branding and marketing activities. So, the question is how to plan a quality Tumblr campaign and what to keep in mind for the same. For more information, check out the infographic below.
