FOCUS ON CUSTOMERS THEN YOUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

Creating Your Social Media Planby Lisa Barone on 05/19/2009 · 73 comments| Some things you’ll want to address are: • How will social media be integrated into the company’s core strategy? • Who from the company will engage? Will there be one voice? A team using one branded account? Personal accounts? • How much time will be spent on social media? • How long will the company “test” the different sites before evaluating their success? • If a serious fire breaks out, what is the proper protocol and who needs to become involved? If you enter into social media without a plan, you will fail. Period.
