You have a few options, but they all fall under two main categories:

• Ignore or poorly respond to your audience’s interaction

• Respond properly to their engagement

SLIDE 5

Let’s explore both options

SLIDE 6

Ignoring or Poorly Responding to Your Audience’s Interaction

Believe it or not, there are multiple ways to completely ignore your audience (which of course, we highly do not recommend!)

• Use an automated or canned response

for each comment/interaction

• Quickly send a negative message in retaliation

• Avoid the individual’s comment/question with

no response

SLIDE 7

Using Canned Responses

While this type of response has its time and

place, it is a bad idea to use a pre-written

response for every type of interaction with a

social media fan. These responses come off as

impersonal, untrustworthy, and honestly, lazy.

SLIDE 8

Always keep in mind the brand or company you are representing. Is your brand lazy and impersonal?

No? We didn’t think so.

SLIDE 9

Sending a Negative Message in Retaliation

You win some, you lose some.

In the case of an angered customer rant or rude comment, take a deep breath and respond professionally.

SLIDE 10

As an administrator of social media accounts,

you’ll encounter your fair share of spam,

unwarranted, or downright mean comments

from some users. It’s in your best interest to

properly address the engagement rather than

ignore it all together.

SLIDE 11

Avoiding fan engagement or comments is just as bad as using a canned response.

In fact, many brands wrongly use a canned response to actually avoid answering a fan’s comment or question.

Avoiding the Individual’s Comment or Question

SLIDE 12

Your fans’ actions and types of

engagement are a representation of

your brand’s responsiveness. Therefore,

always answer their questions, respond

to their remarks (whether positive or

negative) and continue to provide

them with intriguing content.

SLIDE 13

Properly Responding to Engagement

When you positively and properly respond to

your social media engagement, great things

happen.

Seriously, great things.

SLIDE 14

Have a VoiceYour brand has a personality, correct?

Of course it does.

Make sure your brand personality resonates

when responding to and engaging with your fans.

Waiting days or even weeks to continue the conversation with a fan is a big no-no. According to a 2,000-person poll, 83% of Twitter users and 71% of Facebook users expect a�customer service response�from a brand within a day. More than 50% of Twitter users expect a response within two hours.

Be Thorough

A simple, “Thanks for commenting!” response is okay. But it could be a lot better.

SLIDE 21

When engaging, respond to the fan’s comment or concern completely. Ask a follow up question to keep the conversation going!

SLIDE 22

No one likes talking to robots. Have a sense of humor or show your fan that a real, living and breathing human is talking to them!
