Tips For Using Social Media Sites:
(“Like” us on Facebook for more helpful tips)
- Common mistakes when using Twitter; include not designing a page with the background reflecting your brand. Getting on Twitter, but not interacting with your Followers several times a day, or only discussing your brand and not the industry. As well, following too many people who don’t follow you back, or who are not relevant to your industry.
- Facebook mistakes include; failure to design a “brand page”. Not integrating the Twitter streams into Facebook, or vice versa, not keeping the Facebook Page up to date, and not allowing customer feedback.
Google Plus is Google’s new social platform that rivals Facebook and Twitter. We’ve got some handy hints to help you out in using this highly effective and visible means to promote your brand. From quicker sharing options, better content curation, and smarter privacy setting, we’ve got it covered.
- The most common mistake for businesses using social media is not having a plan. “I’m on Facebook!” is great, but what are you going to do there? “We’ve got 10,000 fans!” is also great, but what are you going to have them do? “We’ve got a blog!” is also fantastic, but does it have a strategic goal? Are you winning search results? Capturing leads? Monitoring what is being said about your brand online? If you don’t have a business purpose for these activities and are not measuring that success, then social media is just a hobby.
- Finally, ignoring the impact of customer reviews on such social media platforms as Yelp and Google Places about your business or those of your competitors is a costly mistake no business can afford to make. Appeasing ticked off customers, and rewarding those who give you kudos, is free and makes for good business.
