Social Media Plan – Part One –

Where is your Brand’s Voice?

Part of how I map out the start of a Social Media plan is to look at the past of what a company has been up to on the social web.

 

Looking into the following areas:

What social sites are you a part of?

What is the personality of your brand’s voice- do you have a voice?

How often do you communicate information?

What kind of communication are you putting out?

Where does the communication go and from where does it come?

How quickly do you respond to fan posts/questions/feedback?

How have you responded to negative posts?

 

By looking at these areas we can tell where your brand is situated online. Does it need to be re-branded on social media? Businesses that have started in social media, but slacked off after the beginning stage because of time issues, leave fans bored by the lack of conversation. If you are going to start a social media presence, they best thing to do is start it properly and update it regularly.

What this tells me right away, is that your pages photos (not fan photos) should relate to your top information that you want your fans to see. [Read more...]

How to Make Your Online Customers Happy

It’s pretty simple.

When we purchase an item in a clothing store and the salesperson is helpful, you leave with something you wanted- you’re happy. Happy enough to tell friends about this great experience, maybe even before you’ve tried out the product. Crazy right.

So when it comes to online, it’s not really the same process because you have to minus the human experience.

Online business owners can’t shake your hand, smile at you and give you that warm fuzzy satisfied feeling. So how do we create that similar affect through a computer?

Look at it this way: What makes us feel satisfied about a purchase online? (in no particular order)

  • If it comes on time or early
  • It is exactly what we want
  • If it’s not exactly what we want, then it’s easy to return
