Social media plan - “Social media should be integrated with wider business objectives”
5 step social media plan Credit : http://mashable.com/2008/07/10/how-to-develop-a-social-media-plan/ http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/5-easy-steps-to-a-winning-social-media-plan/ 1. Listen Social media is a term we use to to discuss the tools that facilitate conversations. Before your company can be a part of those conversations, you need to know what people are already talking about so you can determine how you can best contribute. Setting up some tools to monitor conversations is easy. The difficult part is choosing the keywords that will return the most usable results. Step 2: Prepare Social media platforms help facilitate conversations between individuals, not companies. Once you have a sense of what people are talking about, it’s time to identify the appropriate people inside your organization to participate. People, Policy, Strategy. Step 3: Engage Start leaving comments on blogs, uploading images to Flickr, building a community on Twitter or FriendFeed or whatever else that strategy entails that helps further the discussion and illustrates your company’s commitment to developing these online relationships. Step 4: Go Offline No replacement for face-to-face interaction. Use trade shows and other events as opportunities to build even stronger relationships with the members of your online community. 5: Measure Success Unlike other campaigns, measuring social media success begins by asking more questions: – Did we learn something about our customers that we didn’t know before? – Did our customers learn something about us? – Were we able to engage our customers in new conversations? – Do our employees have an effective new tool for external feedback and reputation management?
Once you have a plan what next? Develop a content strategy, make sure your site has social bookmarking, outreach to bloggers, encourage reviews, create a mobile website.
