Social Media Best Practices

• Start with a plan, not tactics.  

•“Give to get” New Paradigm - Giving value before expecting anything in return.

•Commit resources & time to be successful or you may very well fail.

•Be transparent with intentions & your identity or you may alienate the very audiences you’re trying to connect with.  

•Understand, you do not control the message.  What happens in Vegas…ends up on Google

•Welcome participation, feedback and co-creation. Encourage participation with communications, especially with brand evangelists.

•Metrics should roll up to objectives and objectives should be relevant to the channel.  

20

Social Media Worst Practices

• Being FAKE in any way

• Not listening

• Being oblivious to formal & unwritten social rules

• Being pushy or overtly salesy in messaging

• Approaching social media channels as SILOS

Gravity Summit Consulting Services

• Education and TrainingThere is no such thing as a one size fits all approach when it comes to social media. The education and training service is designed to show you how to use social media tools and strategies that cater to your specific needs. Some companies want to know what twitter and wikis are, other companies want to know how they can create and identify online communities. Whatever your needs are we will work with you to make sure that you and your team get the education and training that you need to succeed and deliver results.

• Social Media Ideation and Strategic PlanningThe social media audit analyzes the current state of social media for your company. We provide strategic analysis and recommendations that will help your organization realize short-term benefits while setting a foundation for long-term results. We look at the competitive landscape as well as your target market to provide customized plan catered specifically for your company.

• Social Media Consulting and Custom ServicesConsulting can either be on a hourly/project/monthly basis and is customizable. Consulting can include everything from spending a few hours on explaining how to use Facebook to doing an opportunity assessment, advising on technology selection, campaign implementation, community identification, or a number of other services. We work with branded mobile apps (iphone, bb, other) as well as help in the Community Manager recruiting and selection process.
