Community Management Guidelines
![Page 12: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To build a reputation and remain credible it is essential that you only make claims that can be verified i.e. no brand puffery
Where relevant, cite sources by including links or other references.
Do’s: Support your response with sources
![Page 13: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Engage in 2 way communication with your fans as you would your customers in person.
By building a good relationship with them through online conversations, you also create advocacy for your program thus securing you more supporters!
Do’s: Build a relationship with fans
![Page 14: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do’s: Be honest
100% honesty is the best currency in Social Media.
Hiding the truth in fine print, marketing euphemisms, telling half truths are all NOT ACCEPTABLE in social media.
E.g. If a service is not working, admit the error, apologize and explain what is being done to fix it.
![Page 15: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In the event there are unhappy customers who rant on the Wall, do not take it personally or get angry.
Remain cool and make enquire after the customer’s problems and offer to make contact offline.
Do’s: Keep your cool
![Page 16: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Don’ts: Go silent on the customer
Due to the fact that a social media interaction takes place in real time, going silent while working out a response is not acceptable.
If a query cannot be responded to immediately, a holding message needs to be left to inform the customer that their inquiry is in the process of being attended to.
![Page 17: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It is important to remember that you are still having a conversation with the customer.
Respond in a tone that is ‘human’ and friendly. Use language that is personal and not a ‘corporate voice’.
Don’ts: Sound like a corporate robot
![Page 18: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Occasionally you will encounter ‘fans’ of the page who are unreasonable or just disruptive. They will post irrelevant or misguided information on the wall and provoke the community manager or other fans.
Do not be afraid to report ‘fans’ to Facebook or ban them from the page if they are abusing FB regulations e.g. using fake accounts.
Don’ts: Feed the ‘trolls’
![Page 19: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Keep status updates as short & concise as possible. If you are attaching links to the status update, use a URL shortener like bit.ly. Vary up your updates with photos & videos.
Engage your fans further by posing the update in a way that they will be able to give you their opinions.
Do’s: Keep status updates short & sweet

RULE #1
The Social Media Manifesto
Your company’s code of conduct applies not in the real world but also in the virtual world
![Page 25: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
RULE #2
The Social Media Manifesto
As an employee, you are responsible for your own actions
If you post something that could potentially tarnish the brand’s name, you are responsible for your own actions.
If you need to blog/tweet/facebook with direct reference a brand or client, please use common sense and good judgment
![Page 26: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Social Media Manifesto
RULE #3
Keep on the look out for compliments and criticism
Even though you are not an official online spokesperson for your brand, we would still like you to share positive or negative remarks about the brand that you come across online!
Share them with the social media team by emailing them
![Page 27: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Social Media Manifesto
RULE #4
When the going gets tough, let the experts do the talkingIf you come across negative discussions or remarks about the brand, avoid the temptation of reacting and getting involved.
Pass the link along to the social media team to handle!
![Page 28: How to Manage Communities on Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/5549f0b0b4c9050d488b5390/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Social Media Manifesto
RULE #5
Be conscious of mixing personal life and business life
Keep in mind when posting about your working life, that your colleagues and supervisors often have access to the content you post because it’s in the public! Even if you post it privately for personal family and friends, don’t forget that your information can still be forwarded on.
Never disclose any confidential info about the brand.
