Sundowners and Social Media

Large Banner2 Sundowners are a quintessential part of a safari, so on my recent work trip to Ant’s Hill in the Waterberg, I simply couldn’t forgo this tradition.

As a digital marketer, it’s vital to have a good grasp on what you’re selling, which is why visiting our clients’ lodges to experience them first-hand is such an important part (and major perk) of the job. A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to visit one of our favourite clients, [highlight] Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill Bush Homes [/highlight] , in order to gather some fresh content for our digital marketing campaign.

While there, one of the items on the agenda was sundowners at the most scenic spot in the reserve – aptly dubbed ‘World’s View’ for its panoramic views of the expansive Waterberg wilderness. Gazing over this wondrous view with a glass of white wine in hand, an analogy came to me: social media is like sundowners.

Perhaps it’s because of my millennial point-of-view, perhaps I was just a little tipsy, whatever the reason, here are three reasons why I think social media is like sundowners:

  • Like social media, sundowners provide the opportunity for social interaction and engagement. The difference is that, rather than commenting and sharing posts, we converse and share stories.
  • The more beautiful and scenic the sunset is, the longer people will stay to enjoy it and engage with other people. The same can be said about a successful social media post. More visually appealing and stimulating posts encourage more interest and engagement from online users.
  • Lastly, social media is like sundowners because of the lasting impression that it leaves on you. Like a stunning sunset, a great social media post will linger in your memory long after its left your sight.
