Why Use Social Media?
Customers want to engage with you on their turf.
They want to be part of the conversation.
They want to endorse your brand. For free!
Grow/nurture your community, so it’s there when you really need them.
The Opportunity…and the Challenges
Friend recommendations matter
immensely. Whether it’s purchasing
decisions, restaurant choices, parenting
advice, travel recommendations, etc.
Positive news/recommendations travel
faster & farther than ever before.
On the other hand…negative info can
hurt in the age of the “digital
megaphone.”
(time for a movie industry anecdote!)
James Blunt Angers Polish Fans
Our generation lives in public.
People share deeply personal & emotional experiences -- and their friends listen.
Make sure your brand has a strong presence where people are paying attention.
Our engagement…
The Power of the “Trusted Referral”
Friends ask one another for suggestions
all the time.
-- where to dine in Montreal
-- 3am NYC activities when jet lagged
-- one day “Best-of-Warsaw” itinerary
-- friendly airlines for travel with infant
(now that I'm THAT PERSON on flights)

Top Social Media Do’s & Don’ts
A few questions to think through:
1) Who runs social media for your brand? One person or multiple people?
2) How often will you post? What times of day will you target?
3) Will you create guidelines for the types of content you post?
4) How many languages will you post in?
5) Will you educate the entire company about your social media presence?
This is how your brand is represented to millions of people, so you’ll want to put
time, energy, and thought into these decisions.
Before we dive in…customize your Page!
Tip #1) Timely contests & promotions
Facebook allows businesses to quickly &
economically reach a large audience.
American Airlines' Facebook page grew
from 2,600 -> 210,000 in 2 days with
their "Mystery Miles Journey" promotion.
Fans earned 100 to 100,000 miles by
entering their Aadvantage # on the
Page.
“Liking” a hotel could win you a vacation…
…or a JOB!
Tip #2) Celebrate loyal customers
What does the loyalty program of the future look like?
Go out of your way to provide an awesome experience to “digital influencers”
You know, that person who mentions a restaurant
with great pasta and 400 ppl comment, “OMG! I ate
pasta once too!”
If you notice a customer updating Facebook or
Twitter about your product, respond to them,
thanking them for spreading the word
Tip #3) Give your business a human face
Sometimes the best way to show your
awesomeness, is by turning the spotlight
on your employees!
Empower them to give a little behind-the-
scenes scoop we wouldn’t normally know
about.
Needs to feel real and authentic.
Tip #4) Listen to what people are saying
Track key words such as: your brand’s name,
phrases that relate to your brand, like “slow
internet connection”
Facebook analytics show detailed info about
people who “Like” your Page, time of day for
most engagement, and more. New insight:
“what people are saying.”
If you have a global audience on Facebook,
target updates by geo and post in multiple
time zones & languages.
Tip #5) Stay timely, relevant, and funny!
VisitBritain’s objective: Use interest
around Royal Wedding to engage
prospective travelers on Facebook.
LoveUK Facebook Page posted
interesting & timely content about the
wedding & London.
Gained 127,546 new fans (doubled
their “likes”)
Page viewed by 1.3 million + people.
But sometimes “timely & relevant” = crisis!
Build your community BEFORE a crisis!
Tip #6) Embrace customer feedback (“crowd-sourcing”)
Tip #7) Create new purchase options
Want/Own vs Like Buttons
Sampling
Real-world eCommerce
Tip #8) Additional customer service channel
Make sure your team is
responding to good comments
as well, not just complaints!!!
The (Squeaky) Wheels On The Bus
Tip #9) Show “behind-the-scenes” info
Hmm…maybe a bit too much info…
Gives viewers glimpse into hotel opening
Tip #10) Integrate a Mobile Experience
Mobile is one of the most disruptive & innovative areas, especially with geolocation.
Many services allow for mobile “deals”
Hundreds of millions of people using Facebook via mobile device
Important to design web site vs mobile site for explicit use case
And a few social media “Don’ts”
-- RSS feeds for content
-- Using a plain logo/image
-- Being overly promotional
-- “Like-gating”
-- Deleting negative feedback
