17. Pitfalls When Implementing Social Media 1. The GMOOT Syndrome! ( G et M e O ne O f T hose!) -Making a knee jerk reaction because clients see everyone else using it -Not understanding the audience and what they’ll respond to -Just need it for ‘X’! Can this really be a ‘stand alone’ campaign/endeavor? 2. Lack of Strategies and Measurement -Define key audiences -Define key measurable objectives -How/Where will this be implemented? (What social media channels?) -How/Who will track this? -How will ROL ultimately be measured? 3. Lack of Content -Remember: Content is King, it should NOT be an afterthought -Content requires planning -How will content be delivered? Copy, Audio, Video, Interactive and Combo? -MAKE the content ENGAGING! This is accelerant to the whole process. Make it count when you hit the gas!
18. 4. Failure to Engage -‘Interacting and listening’ vs. ‘shouting’ -Use New Media: Video/Audio/Animation and Interactivity -Make it easy for the participant to understand and navigate to the next action point. -Avoid Text heavy sites, talking head video clips, boring linear PowerPoint or Meeting Leading presentations -Provide as much customization & configuration as possible. Make it a unique and personal experience. -Identify responders and outline their duties 5. Limited Reach -Social media only works with a defined and LARGE audience -Understand what network you are targeting or creating -Without Reach there is no ROI Pitfalls When Implementing Social Media
