A few final thoughts to share

• Let the Web Care team be ‘eyes and ears’ of the company

• Brief the Web Care team on all company developments involving customers

• Keep focus on optimizing the service eco-system, including eForum and Youtube

• Make employees part of your fan pages so they will feel what your fans experience

• Develop processes to channel social insights back into the company

• Extend the benefits of your social monitoring tools to other departments

• Adopt social narrow casting

• Experiment! You can never foresee it all

• Keep evaluating and improving: when it comes to service, you are never done
