Could Facebook and Instagram be banned in the UK?

One of the biggest changes that could affect you is that social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram could potentially be banned in the UK due to post-Brexit legislation. 

This means that if you rely on social media for your marketing activity, you're at a huge risk. 

But here's the thing:

Even if this law doesn't pass, it still highlights how vulnerable businesses like yours are if they rely completely on social media for their marketing activity. 

It's a risky move to rely completely on social media for business. The other risk is that Elon Musk or someone like him buys Meta and starts charging businesses to communicate with their followers, not as far-fetched as it may have seemed before.

How much of your audience is on Facebook and Instagram?

If you rely on social media for your marketing activity then this is a risky move and now’s the time to consider other channels such as building an email list.

 

So what can be done about it? 

What control do you have over this? Well there has never been a better time to start an email list.

The first thing is to start building an email list—now.

Why? 

Because email gives you:

  • Full control over your communication strategy, including scheduling and automation.
  • You can also build relationships with clients using email, rather than simply broadcasting messages at them (or worse, having them broadcast messages at you).
  • And you don't have to worry about algorithms changing or updating without notice—you own your data!

It’s one of the best ways to build trust and generate repeat business and create loyalty with your audience
