The do’s and don’ts of social media

 

There are many benefits of using social media for an SME, but there are also some key “rules” to learn!

There are 7 main benefits –

  1. Giving you the option to be a leader in your chosen field
  2. Build a Network
  3. Personal Engagement
  4. Customer Service
  5. Lead Conversion and Advocacy
  6. Reduce Costs
  7. Insights

Then the Do’s & Don’t are:

  1. DO share your story – what make you and your business unique / stand out
  2. DO create an emotional connection
  3. DO identify and focus on relevant social media channels
  4. DO fully complete and optimise your social media account bios
  5. DO Integrate email, website and social media

 

  1. DON’T focus on how many like a page
  2. DON’T forget to include your branding – logo, colours, fonts in social media posts
  3. DON’T ignore social advertising
  4. DON’T overtly sell
  5. DON’T forget to have fun with your social media
