Let’s Socialize.
If we learned anything from the year 2020, it’s that there are so many ways we can stay connected to friends, family and clients, even while apart. Social media has become even more of a lifeline than it already was, simply because it’s a way we can stay in touch. Here are a few tips to help:
Truly Connect.
Posting news, listings and company updates is very valuable. However, what’s more pertinent is interacting with your followers. Be sure to respond to comments and messages in a timely manner to let your followers know you truly care about what they have to say. Your other updates will go a lot further if your followers know they can count on you, they’ll see you as a true resource.
Watch Your Temper – Even from Behind the Screen.
The anonymity the Internet presents people with can give some users the ability to lash out and say things they may not otherwise say face to face. Unfortunately, this can cause some raised blood pressure on your end of the screen. Do your best to stay polite and respond with facts, if necessary. If things start to get out of hand, you can always block the person to take the conversation offline, but use this tactic only when necessary. You don’t want followers thinking they can’t disagree with you, and sometimes it’s better for other people to see your polite responses rather than take the whole conversation down.
Make Things Fun!
While newsworthy posts and current listings are extremely valuable and definitely necessary to post, it’s also important to interchange these types of posts with lightheartedness and fun content. Sometimes asking a simple question like “What’s ‘90s movie can you watch again and again?” can also spark conversation and interaction. Plus, it’s a great way to get to know your clients!
