8. Social Media Presence

Nowadays, the fashion is to have a social media presence, but how far are you responsive to the customer comments?

A new entrant, he frantically searches for home delivery and chances on your twitter account. He examines the posts and find that the last post was six months back and the consumer queries are unanswered? Will he even bother to look into your website?

Also, in countries all over the globe, it has become the practice to employ a PR agency before the elections. The team takes care of every aspect, right from digital marketing and response on social media platforms. In fact, AAP won in Delhi because it has a dedicated team of volunteers who spent day and night responding to people’s queries on twitter and facebook.

Humanitarian Response – Do not have chatbots give responses. It is great you are tuned to the technology trend, but when it comes to humanitarian responses, a consumer can definitely see the difference. And please know where to pitch for brand promotion.

Be Proactive – You can also make social media platforms work for your brand. Stay alert in forums and when a consumer asks a question, ensure that you give the perfect information. Be natural with your praises. No offensive words. And the best part, think of the reactions you can get after making the post.
