80% of all active US Internet users (of which there
are 245 million)

are now using social networks for their efforts. Just

Determining which social media site is right for you
Conduct a Social Media Audit (aka survey)
Before you jump-in to SMM, be sure to conduct a social media audit
among your current clients. Which sites do they use? This will help
you to narrow your focus to the sites which will likely pay the
greatest dividends.
TCB Tip: SurveyMonkey.com offers a free survey tool. Create your
survey, then upload your contacts email addresses. They’ll email your
contacts an invitation to participate in the survey. Other web-based
survey applications are available through email service providers like
Constant Contact.

Best practices
Now that you know where to establish your social
media presence, you need to engage with your
audience effectively. Here are a few “do’s” and
“don’ts” to keep in mind. Following these rules will
help you quickly build a loyal following.

Best practices—Plan & Strategize
Create a plan for engaging in social media. Whatever
the size of your company, you ought to have a plan
that answers these three questions:
1. Who are you targeting with your social marketing?
2. What goals or objectives do you want to accomplish?
3. How much time and money will you invest in your social
marketing?

Best practices—Create a Social Media Policy
If you will have employees, or subcontractors, posting to your company social media
accounts, you need to establish a policy in writing. Here are a few of the key elements to
include:
1. Protocols and procedures for posting on behalf of the company
2. Encourage good sense
3. Identify possible consequences for violating the policy

Best practices—Develop content
Maintaining the attention of clients/prospects is key
to your social marketing success. To keep their
focus, keep your content fresh and mix-up your
media.
1. Share photos
2. Post videos
3. Create surveys
4. Create events
5. Share links
6. Offers and discounts
7. Share good news
8. Contests
Quick Fact: Adding a photo and video to
Facebook posts increases the life of
content by 16% and 9% respectively.
Always support posts with a photo (or a
video, if possible).

Best practices—Share good news
Be sure to share good news about your company. Posting about your
awards and honors reinforces why your fans “Liked” you in the first place.

Best practices—Get recommended
Encourage your clients to recommend you in social
media. Their recommendations will be public and will
help you develop new leads and prospects. Your
clients’ recommendations will be seen by their
network of friends, peers and colleagues.

Best practices—Tweet and Retweet
Engage with your followers on Twitter and they will do
the same for you.
TCB Tip: Focus on developing a local following, by
following local people. Start with reporters from area
media companies. Chances are they’ll follow you in
return—and maybe even retweet your posts to their
followers.

Contests & Giveaways
Prize giveaways have long been used as a tool for generating
response. But, great care should be given to conducting contests
in social media to ensure that you do not violate any laws or
terms of service which could expose your company to risk.
Familiarize yourself with:
• Terms of Service
• State and Federal laws

E. Promotions
If you use Facebook to communicate about or administer a promotion (such as a contest or sweepstakes), you are
responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including the official rules, offer terms and eligibility
requirements (e.g., age and residency restrictions), and compliance with regulations governing the promotion
and all prizes offered in connection with the promotion (e.g., registration and obtaining necessary regulatory
approvals). Please note that compliance with these guidelines does not constitute the lawfulness of a
promotion. Promotions are subject to many regulations and if you are not certain that your promotion
complies with applicable law, please consult with an expert.
i. Promotions on Facebook must be administered within Apps on Facebook.com, either on a Canvas Page or a Page
App.
ii. Promotions on Facebook must include the following:
a. A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant.
b. Acknowledgment that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated
with, Facebook.
c. Disclosure that the participant is providing information to [disclose recipient(s) of information] and not to
Facebook.
iii. You must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or
functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. For example, you
must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo
on a Wall.
iv. You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For
example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion
participant.
v. You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a
promotion.
vi. You must not notify winners through Facebook, such as through Facebook messages, chat, or posts on profiles
(timelines) or Pages.
