Engage through: EDUCATING, ENTERTAINING, AND INSPIRING

#3: LISTEN AND RESPOND
When people interact, comment back!
This is your chance
to showcase your
expertise!

#4:BRING YOUR STAFF ONBOARD
If your business really is “likeable” your staff
will be happy to participate!
Staff Photos are FUN!
• Birthdays
• Events
• New Hires
-Is your staff asking, “Did
you find us online?”
-Or are they asking, in a
truly interested way,
“How did you find us?”
-- Hint: there is a
huge difference

SOCIAL MEDIA HEALTH CHECK…
o Do many of my current customers already know where to
find me on social media?
o Do I have regular interactions with happy customers
online?
o Am I aware of my reputation and participation on my top
three most-used social media sites?
o Am I posting original content from my business on social
at least once weekly, using targeting and boosting, and
getting consistent likes, comments, and shares?
