So now what? Your social media strategy should be simple. Everything you send out must meet two of these three criteria: Is it TIMELY? Is it RELEVANT? Is it ACTIONABLE? If it isnt two out of three, DONT DO IT!
30
It works better for some business segments Vanishing inventory (move it quick before its worthless) Airline seats, sports tickets, movie tickets, restaurant seats. Time-sensitive instant offers (get some customers quickly) Restaurants, fast food, retail, entertainment, seasonal. Attracting eyes and ears (watch and listen) TV, radio stations, newspapers, websites New NEWS (breaking news) Anyone
33
Summary Facebook is all you need to worry about. Develop a plan to send out information that is TIMELY, RELEVANT, and ACTIONABLE (2 out of 3) Try to create immediate action (disappearing offers). Offer information that helps the customer make the purchase decision. Texting (mobile) and email are important components.
