Name of company – Joe’s Lemonade Stand should consistently be JoesLemonade on FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.When creating content – think about how users use different social networks – what is the goal/purpose? Tailor your content to those goals (Twitter used for quick daily deals, but FB used for one time only discounts)

According to a recent study by Capgemini, 57% of businesses currently monitor online conversations about the brand, products or services. But 20% do not listen at all and another 23% of respondents weren’t sure whether or not the company is listening to online conversations.
For example, tracking mentions of the brand, products, key personnel and also competitors are analyzed and reported out to key stakeholders to portray the state of conversations and sentiment, capture the share of voice, and set the foundation for benchmarking and metrics. Monitoring also encompasses potential crises and serves as an early warning system for businesses. Listening however, builds a layer on top of monitoring that examines conversations for enterprise-wide learning and cross-functional engagement. The difference between monitoring and listening is initiative, the ability to take what’s observed and take action internally or externally to solve, improve, or validate experiences.
ROI means different things to different people. Why is it important to know all of the ways that social media can benefit your organization? You’ll have to explain it to your boss, your board, your stakeholders one day. The business case and benefit is most important – don’t just do social media because you think it is cool.
