• Remember that your biggest talkers are often your own staff and volunteers.

Social Media Guidelines
• For you.• For your fans.• For your employees.
You need written social media guidelines
in your employee handbook.
www.CFSarasota.org
![Page 22: The Footprints of Social Media Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545583fab1af9fcf338b48e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dirt Travels Fast. And the delete key doesn’t
work once it’s out there.
“Viral. It’s so…viral.”

![Page 23: The Footprints of Social Media Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545583fab1af9fcf338b48e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Be honest and truthful.
• Be respectful of timing. (Does your board know it?)
• Reflect your nonprofit’s values.
• Respect privacy. (Of clients, donors, members, volunteers, staff, confidential “insider” info)
It’s mostly common sense.
(See Kodak, IBM, Intel SM policies)

Look at 3 things:1. Tone.
Totally negative, neutral, seem like they could be talked to?
2. Influence. How many followers, friends, subscribers do they have?
3. Frequency. Is this a standalone argument / complaint or does there seem to be a trend brewing?
-Carrie Lewis, Humane Society of United States
So what if people DO say bad thingsabout your business?
