Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so pleased you decided to download the podcast and give it a listen.Basically for those who don't know, I am doing a regular podcast where I am talking about social media marketing and how you can use it for your business. But for today's episode, I just want to take you back to basics for a little bit. Sometimes I think it's really important to go back to the beginning. We talk about all these amazing fancy things that all these social media profiles can now do.

If it doesn't, make sure that it's not stretched or cropped or distorted in any way. You may even want to think about having a chat with a graphic designer or whoever does your design work and make sure that your logo has a nice square format available to it. And make sure that it's as striking as it possibly can be within that square. Because obviously when people are looking down their timelines, that square is really quite small. So if you have a very detailed logo, people are going to find it
