WHY?

Each of your potential customers will take in information in different ways

Encourage Sharing

Every time one of them ‘likes’ a post, ‘Retweets’ a tweet or mentions you on

Facebook or Twitter it is shared with their own friends and followers

*

Build Loyalty

Post special ‘offers’

Say thanks to

fans

ALWAYS reply to incoming messages

*

•Dedicate a certain amount of time every week to

coming up with ideas for posts. Write them up and

set them to automate with a tool like Buffer

•This way you canl post pictures too and autoshrink

links

•Buffer and Facebook will also give you analytics to

see what is most popular and WHEN to post

•Don’t post TOO often – no one like constantly being

bombarded

•Check for messages and responses at least every

day – quick response is key

•69% of messages to companies on social media are

ignored!
