Finding out where the buzz is on Social Media and if your content will fit with this type of buzz is important. Don t create a YouTube channel if you have never had or intend to have video content to share with your audiences there s nothing worse than a stale Social Media Channel. 3. Optimise your URL!

47 Section 5.0. Knowing the negative: How to deal with negative feedback

48 Section 5.0 Respond It s vitally important that the complaints and issues your fans post on your Social Media channels are addressed. Inactivity on your part will appear as though you re trying to ignore the issue. Being unresponsive does nothing more than incite more anger and increase the chance the user will come back with even more angry wall posts, tweets or comments. Not responding ensures your community sees you are unconcerned with support, this will be detrimental to your reputation. A response that illustrates respect and understanding for customers concerns will indicate your intention to rectify any problems.

50 Section 5.0 Don t play the blame game In dealing with upset customers, just like in all areas of customer care - you must remember that you are closer to your industry, products and services than they are. What may seem like basic, common knowledge to you is often foreign to the end user. Place yourself in your customer s shoes. It may not be your company s fault that the customer is upset. Whether or not the fault lies on your end, a simple apology will go a long way in keeping the customer s business. Instead of trying to figure out where the blame lies, turn upset fans into loyal customers by making their experience better.

You can also share your phone number or a Twitter account with your fans if you re better equipped to answer them there. b. Request an . Respond publicly to a post/comment from your brand account, asking the customer to send a followup message to a particular address and pledging a prompt, personal review and response.

55 Section 6.0 Informative Vs Annoying Good content can be found in a multitude of places, and once you find it all, the next question you may ask yourself is how often you can share. You want to be informative, finding the balance between informative and annoying is a challenge. As a general rule, Socialbakers found that posting once per week on Facebook was so low as to lose connection with your audience and posting more than twice per day was crossing the line into annoying.

71 Section 8.0 Keep it Social Sometimes brands and businesses struggle to find the right tone of voice for Social. This is understandable after all, you are stepping outside your comfort zone and learning how to interact with your customers in a street that is very much two way. Don t let this intimidate you. Take the bad with the good, you will get trolls and spam and this is to be expected. Don t let this stop you from interacting and getting social with your audience.

72 Section 8.0 Create a content calendar Creating a content calendar will keep you organised, forbid you from both risking under activity and from over sharing. It s vitally important to stay in the loop and maintain social relationships, posting too often, whether it s photos, status updates or frequent Tweets, can turn off your audience. They ll stop listening and you will become spam that falls on deaf ears.

75 Section 8.0 Always respond Respond to the good and the bad. Positive feedback is great and when you receive this through social it s time to boast. Negative feedback is less exciting but it is a part of the Social Marketing sphere and one which you need to address, regardless of your industry.
