• A simple truth: Campaigning used to be about delivering messages
• Now, it’s about creating personal relationships with brands
• To today’s consumer, conversations are far more important than direct messages alone
• In order to have these conversations, brand owners need to identify who in the target
audience are the greatest influencers who generate the most online buzz
• 57% of people talk to other people more online than in real life
• Of the market of 55+ users, 32% interact through social media
• In the world of search engine optimization (SEO), likes are considered the new links
• Facebook is viewed once out of every five webpage views

Define how your reputation will be managed
• Construct a customized plan-of-action to maintain your favorable online presence
• Know when to take issues offline for comments related to products, service offerings, events or inappropriate language
• Quickly assess your audience-generated content to address any brand challenges or derogatory messages
Consider a centralized management platform that:
• Is a web-based social media management platform
• Can archive posts, likes, comments, tweets and re-tweets
• Can pre-schedule status updates

description of your company, and (3) to choose a unique Facebook web address for your page.
