Keep to the 70/20/10 rule 70% of your content is brand- and business-
building which means sharing information that is valuable to your followers. Content shared from other sources makes up 20% with the remaining 10% self-promotional.
If the best you can do is continually post‘Specials’ e.g. Turkey from €X, you are not offering fans a good user experience
Engagement Leads to Conversion
Not another special offer!

How Do You Handle It?
First learn how to use your chosen platform so you are tracking incoming messages and posts about your company
View negative feedback as an opportunity to show off your customer care online
Take a breath before responding, offer to fix the problem, and request the user PM/DM contact details and try to take the matter offline
Negative Feedback Strategy We’re
sorry you had that
experience
Your
service is
terrible!
