Let’s Talk Social Media No-No-No-No’s

Look, we get it! Not everyone was born with a mobile phone in one hand and a calendar in the other. This month on social media we're talking about social media, discussing the little (and big) no-no’s that so many brands are guilty of.   

Social media NO! Being too extra on the posting front

You know how people often complain about their parents’ behaviour on social media? Well, as a brand your goal is to NOT be that uncool parent. Don’t try to be #sochill or “sic” or “dope bru” and, more importantly, don’t over-post – a few good quality posts per week will suffice.
 

Social media NO-NO! "I'll post whatever and whenever I want"

Oh honey, that’s just not a good social media strategy! Before you take to social, you need to figure out your intention and goals. Think about your social media platform from a “big picture” perspective, and always have a clear plan and strategy for the month ahead.
 

Social media NO-NO-NO! Being chill about checking

Okay, be honest now: how many times did you check your post before you posted? Once? Twice? Well, then go check it again! And don’t just check for spelling – check the punctuation, the quality of your image, and every. single. flippin’. detail.
 

Social media NO-NO-NO-NO! “My brand, my rules”

Yes, you’re the boss in your business – but on social media, the age-old adage “the customer is always right” rings ever true. Make sure you respond to messages as quickly as you can, be open to criticism, and always be gracious and kind. Remember: You ARE your brand.
