Social media strategy
Objective: To get a general overview of social media, its impact (positive and negative) on brands, and the basic best practices on getting started.
Ultimate take away: Practice social engagement, start doing it for your brand, whether professional or personal.
Social media strategy
Who here is on social media? Who here is comfortable on social media? Why not (please write down your answers.
I will collect them anonymously later) How long has social media been around?
What do you think? So, why are some brands (personal
organizations) slow to be social?
Social media strategy
Why is social media powerful? It’s word of mouth on steroids. Some of the names that come to mind today are new in the last few
years. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare are all newer sites.
Twitter has 200 million monthly users. More than one third of Iowa is on Facebook.
Then businesses started to join.
Some used the new mediums just like they used old-school ad channels. As a one-way tool to broadcast information.
At one point most questions from others to some of the big brands were ignored and not responded too.
Need to have: Personality, approachability, transparency.
Social media strategy
Assignment: Please take out a piece of paper (or use your laptop, iPad). Write down these sections: Business goals (Session 3) Focus (Session 2 and 3) Dos (Session 2) Don’ts (Today)
Take notes in each section as we talk about them!
Social media strategy – No-Nos
Twitter user ABC talks about a brand on Twitter, complaining to his 22,000 followers that service was terrible. What does the brand do? No response. (Common. 70-some percent of top brands don’t respond)
Social media strategy – No-Nos
A waitress Facebooked about bad customers. A football player was fined for talking
negatively about the coach. #McDStories (negative stories were shared,
interestingly, McDonald’s also shows up on the good side of things!)
Somebody tweets at your brand, your social media person has to go talk to the marketing director, who has to go check with the CEO to see what they should respond.
Social media strategy – No-Nos
Did I mention that a Tweet has a lifespan of eight minutes? You have to respond within eight minutes for conversation to happen!
Social media no-nos
A juror in the UK was dismissed after she disclosed sensitive case information on her Facebook profile, MSN reports. "I don't know which way to go, so I'm holding a poll" the juror wrote, asking her Facebook friends to weigh in on the case. (Source)
Social media no-nos (?)
I visited a local business Chatted with the owner Followed them on Twitter The next day they said: “Thanks for
following. Hope your week is going great.”
No mention about yesterday? Why not? I didn’t feel very connected!
Social media no-nos
Sharing without reading. Everything reflects on you! (Billy Madison
example) “I love your stuff.” What stuff?
Mixing up accounts! Person posted personal message to a company page!
Somebody overseas took Twitter users to court for retweeting libelous information!

What did you come up? For next time, if you didn’t type these up,
please start a document that has 3-6 points listed:

Social media no-nos (examples)
Do not: Say anything you wouldn’t want to see in
the newspaper or wouldn’t say to somebody’s face!
Not respond to people! Share other’s information without reading
it! Have unnecessary approval processes Be afraid of following up, apologizing and
moving on.
