Why We Hate Social Media (Why We Hate Creating Content)
“Free” isn’t really free Time, time, time! Damage control (or rather, how about any control in general?)
Who will be the voice? (and who will be the voice when the voice resigns?)

Tracking, Measurement, Reporting

Consider both free and paid tracking tools
It’s not all about sales (but it helps)

Sales
Sales is the strongest indicator of social media ROI and proof of concept
Engages the sales and customer experience departments
Engages (and intrigues) the C-suite
Validates your social media programs and gets you resources (staff, budget)
22N645-64
Tracking, Measurement, Reporting
Accept that you cannot track everything
Accept that you cannot do it alone
Accept that you will make mistakes
23N645-64
Tracking, Measurement, Reporting
Are you comfortable with data and analysis? “I went into marketing because I suck at math.” “I’m in PR, I’m a people person.”
Are you a team player? “My MIS department hates me.”

Best Practices in Social Media
• Designate a Social Media Task Force within the company to train employees, design policies, study trends, implement tactics, and measure results. Select from various departments: public relations, marketing, sales, customer service, research and development, human resources, or administration.
• Find existing content within the organization (press releases, articles, speeches, presentations) which can be repurposed for social media.
• Understand that metrics are very important to all stakeholders in order for social media programs to be nurtured, supported – and funded.
• Keep abreast of industry trends by reading as much as possible about new platforms and technologies, privacy policies (i.e., Facebook), and how other companies are effectively leveraging social media.
25N69D-18
Remarks
Always ask yourself, “Why is this valuable to my organization?”
Keep content organic, genuine, and authentic.
Your customers, employees, and investors will feel empowered.
Read….learn….engage!
