Social media strategy
Who here is on social media? Who here is comfortable on social media? Why not (please write down your answers.
I will collect them anonymously later) How long has social media been around?
What do you think? So, why are some brands (persons or
organizations) slow to be social?
![Page 4: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Social media strategy
Why is social media powerful? It’s word of mouth on steroids. Some of the names that come to mind today are new in the last few
years. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare are all newer sites.
Twitter has 200 million monthly users. More than one third of Iowa is on Facebook.
Then businesses started to join.
Some used the new mediums just like they used old-school ad channels. As a one-way tool to broadcast information.
At one point most questions from others to some of the big brands were ignored and not responded too.
Need to have: Personality, approachability, transparency.

Social media strategy – No-Nos
Twitter user ABC talks about a brand on Twitter, complaining to his 22,000 followers that service was terrible. What does the brand do? No response. (Common. 70-some percent of top brands don’t respond)
![Page 7: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Social media strategy – No-Nos
A waitress Facebooked about bad customers. A football player was fined for talking
negatively about the coach. #McDStories (negative stories were shared,
interestingly, McDonald’s also shows up on the good side of things!)
Somebody tweets at your brand, your social media person has to go talk to the marketing director, who has to go check with the CEO to see what they should respond.
![Page 8: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Social media strategy – No-Nos
Did I mention that a Tweet has a lifespan of eight minutes? You have to respond within eight minutes for conversation to happen!

Social media no-nos
A juror in the UK was dismissed after she disclosed sensitive case information on her Facebook profile, MSN reports. "I don't know which way to go, so I'm holding a poll" the juror wrote, asking her Facebook friends to weigh in on the case. (Source)

Social media no-nos
I visited a local business Chatted with the owner Followed them on Twitter The next day they said: “Thanks for
following. Hope your week is going great.”
No mention about yesterday? Why not? I didn’t feel very connected!
![Page 12: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social media no-nos
Sharing without reading. Everything reflects on you! (Billy Madison
example) “I love your stuff.” What stuff?
Mixing up accounts! Person posted personal message to a company page!
Somebody overseas took Twitter users to court for retweeting libelous information!

Social media no-nos (examples)
Do not: Say anything you wouldn’t want to see in
the newspaper or wouldn’t say to somebody’s face!
Not respond to people! Share other’s information without reading
it! Have unnecessary approval processes Be afraid of following up, apologizing and
moving on.

Social media strategy - do's
Social media is social! Non-tech comparison:
At somebody’s house for dinner. Do you say: Buy this OR do you just talk?
They may still buy or use your business but you wouldn’t think of mentioning that first, right?
![Page 20: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Social media - do's
Connect around topics. What’s the topic that you are an expert
in or are striving to be an expert in? Then connect with people in those areas.

Social media - do's
Wal-Mart has higher engagement than Target, despite having similar Facebook fan pages. Source
A large portion of the brand’s most successful posts are not directly tied back to the brand itself but rather are designed to appeal to the broad interests of its customers. They are publishing posts that say, “Happy 53rd Birthday Hawaii” with a picture of a sunset or “Like this if you’re going to miss summer” featuring a picture of a cute dog. Walmart has found that short, conversational and non-promotional posts featuring fun photos is what engages its fan base. They are blasting their fans with hundreds of posts, but they are posts that the people want to see"

Social Media - Business Goals Everything you do on social media/the
web needs to fit into your overall business goals.

What are mine… can you tell?

Social media – Business goals What are yours? (Write them down on a
paper)
![Page 32: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Social media
Review: Your main takeaway? Next time: Bring your social media plan
so far. Should look like this: Business goals Do's Don’ts
We will talk about Focus, Time Management and Monitoring the next time.
![Page 33: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Social media strategy – Day 3 Welcome back! Thoughts from last time? Main
takeaways? How is your plan looking? Today: Building an audience, focus, time
management, monitoring. For next time: Use what you’ve learned
so far in social media (my suggestion: Twitter, Facebook, maybe LinkedIn). Report back next time what worked, what didn’t, etc.
![Page 34: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Social media – Building an audience
Use what you have! Share valuable/conversational content. People will
share it if it’s meaningful to them. Test this: “Statement. LIKE if you agree. Comment
if you disagree.” (This works for some brands but not all. Usually bigger ones with a huge following.)
Make it easy for people to sign up. Direct links to your accounts from your
websites/newsletter, etc. Include in printed materials.
Share on your personal accounts … but think about if it fits and how.
![Page 35: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Social media – Building an audience
Facebook: People come to you! Twitter: Do a search for relevant
keywords in the area. Follow people who show interest. Example: https://twitter.com/search-
advanced

![Page 38: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Social media – Time Management Set expectation!
![Page 39: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Social media – Time Management
Set alerts: Get email notifications when somebody mentions you.
Google.com/alerts Other services exist, but there’s a cost.
(Radian6, Salesforce) If not live response: Set a time or two per
day to check: First thing in the morning. Then again later. 10-15 minutes.
Post something new in your area of expertise each time!
![Page 40: Kirkwood Community College Social Media Strategy Class 2013 - through Day 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052523/5551a741b4c9053c488b4f72/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Social media – Focus (What to say) Pick your area of expertise. Pay attention! Write down ideas. Read them back to co-workers/bosses
before sending. Get feedback! Don’t want to get into an approval process, though! Think about Do’s and Don’ts.
Tweet/Facebook the ones that fit. Keep an eye on insights. How do people
react?

Social media - Focus
Watch for good stories. Media stories to share. How do you know what to share?
Interesting! You mention it. (“Hey, xxx, I have to tell you
this …) It fits within your area of expertise. If you need structure: Develop a content
calendar, but don’t let things be stale.
