The Public Side of Social Media #Failures

The Private Side…

THIS is where the REAL Social Media disasters are happening as most organizations continue to dive in nose first without plans, procedures or policies in place.

Social Isn’t For Everybody (At least not yet).

#Can you clearly identify goals and expectations?

#Do your goals/expectations align with your budget/bandwidth?

#Who will have ownership of your channels/campaigns?

#Have you invested in education for yourself & your team?

#Are you prepared to be transparent and give up some “control”?

And last but not least……

Are key decision makers/senior management on board & ready to embrace a Social business?

So please, before you jump in…

Make sure you can answer YES to the following:

There’s no such thing as foolproof…

As long as humans power Social Media, there’s no way to positively ensure that mistakes won’t be made.

That said, having plans, policies and procedures in place can significantly mitigate a brand’s risk level.

And when mistakes do happen, organizations are prepared to respond thoughtfully and strategically.

So ask yourself, can your brand afford to take the risk?
