Social media should enhance your visibility and lead potential customers to information on doing business with you.
The primary gift of social media to a brand is the opportunities to LISTEN. But there is no value to listening without the ability and agility to respond and act upon the data gathered.
Content Planning: What kind of content should you look to? Where should this content go? How can you facilitate your audience sharing your content?
Remember your press releases can be social, can be rich with useful links, photos, videos that can be shared through social networks.
Crisis communications has to happen in real time.
It’s not always a big crisis, but they can be just as important.
Connecting The Dots Within The Organization: It’s not that everything revolves around social media. It’s that social media connects to and affects every department within a company.
These people are on the front line and they need to be calm, professional and agile.
We hire people we trust representing our business in the real world. The same should hold true in the virtual world.
Make it simple. Make it clear.
Look at your audience frequently: -know who they are -know what the need -know their concerns -know how they change
Look at yourself in the mirror often. I use Flipboard on the iPad as a mirror.
