Notes de l'éditeur
Intro:We began with a social media strategy for our largest affiliate, Zions Bank. Aside from launching each property, we’ve assisted in the execution of several successful Social Media campaigns, as well as creating weekly/monthly analytics reports for the properties. Based on the successes of Zions Bank’s strategy, we’ve worked to develop best practices and recommendations specific to the other affiliates.
Socialize:Social Media isn’t about simply pushing messages to your consumers. Invite them to join in the conversation with you, let them know you’re listeningCredible Voice: Consumers want to engage with people, not brands. Be personable and conversational, as if you were speaking to a friend. Listen and respond: Being a part of social media means opening your brand up to feedback, both positive and negative. Don’t ignore negative comments—respond to them. And unless it requires obtaining personal info from a customer, respond online so people know that you’re doing what you can to resolve problems. Negative comments are ok; it would be much worse if they weren’t saying anything about your brand. Write what you know: Write about your area of expertise, especially as it relates to your industry. Keep in mind which property you’re communicating on, be it Facebook, Twitter or blogs. It’s difficult to keep reader’s attention, so be concise and to the point.
