Internal Management Considerations


Guidelines for your broader community1. Employees and others will have a clear idea of the company’s position.

2. Employees will feel empowered that they can leverage their social networks in support of their role, as well as for their professional careers.

3. Companies will be legally protected from the possible misuse and misbehaviour of their employees online. Answer Who’s liable.

4. Companies will appear more innovative, forward thinking and acknowledgeable of how social media has integrated through employees lives and the rest of the world.

5. Employees will have a set of best practices and guidance while they venture into the social media world, so even the beginners have some reference guide to turn to. www.theonlinecircle.com

Why Social Media?


Things you can do now!

Get a domain name that makes sense: Domains are as tricky as they are important.

Use a branded email addresses: Think about it like a user. If you’re about to spend $500 on an entertainment system, which contact email do you trust more – [email protected] or [email protected]?

Competent design

Create an About Us Page: Include names, faces and personalities of your company. Use your About Page to talk to customers. Include when the company was founded, what you’re an expert in, how excited you are to help them and all the ways they can contact you. If your Web site is the face of your company, the About Page is its heart.

And a Contact Page: Include your real business address, telephone, a map, hours, and any other information someone would need to get a hold of you

Use customer testimonials: Providing testimonials on your Web site does a couple of things for user trust. First, it helps show customers that you’re safe to do business with and gives them an idea of what they can expect from you. Keep a tidy site

List groups you belong to: People trust companies that go out of their way to be part of the community www.theonlinecircle.com
