Social Media 2013

• Time-Saving TIPS for using social media!

• Chunk your Time

• Plan Your Content

• Organize your Email Inbox

• Use Apps

Good Idea!

What can I post?• New product release

• Significant changes to existing product

• Changes in corporate name or logo

• New website

• Events, e.g. open house, awards, presentations

• New funding55

What else? • Major personnel changes

• Increase in market share

• Corporate philanthropy, e.g. volunteer work, donations

• Hiring of agencies, e.g. PR, accounting, law

• New partner or significant new customer

Golden Rule of Social • Don’t use Facebook to talk only about

yourself and promote your services constantly. It’s not a billboard! Your posts should be:

• Resources to help others

• About yourself and business

• Cardinal SIN: Direct hardcore sales pitch and repeated posts on same topic 57

Facebook Don’ts • 1. Asking questions that are too broad or too personal.

• 2. The tone is uninspiring. Share some anecdotes or customer success stories that also show your human side.

• 3. Every post is pure text. Break up those pure text posts by adding pictures featuring the latest contest winners, happy employees or any image that's visually appealing and relates to your post or company.

• 4. There’s too much focus on selling. While an occasional post about a product is fine, especially if it’s new or was recently featured in the news, don’t use Facebook as an overt sales vehicle.

• 5. You only talk about your business. Fans expect news, tips and photos that go beyond your business.you’re posting.

Facebook Don’ts • 6. The message isn’t in sync with your audience or business. Before

you post, ask yourself if the message serves the interests of your audience in terms of being interesting, helpful or funny.

• 7. You’re not responding. Fans should know their feedback is appreciated, so be sure to respond to their likes, comments and questions.

• 8. Your page has an identity crisis. To avoid a cluttered page and create a steady stream of engaging posts, develop an editorial calendar.

• 9. You’re not offering perks. Reward them with exclusive contests, deals and insider offers.

• 10. You give up too easily. If you place the same amount of patience and perseverance on engaging your Facebook audience that you applied to building your business, you’ll achieve success in social media.
