Three Terrible Social Media Marketing Mistakes, and How to Avoid Making Them<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Social media marketing is a necessity for growing your business in today\u2019s climate. While just about everyone knows at least a few things about how to make social media marketing work well, hardly anybody has a good understanding about the type of mistakes that can be made, nor do most people know how to avoid those mistakes.<\/p>\n

The good news is, we\u2019re about to put you in the ranks of the few \u2013 here are three top social media marketing mistakes companies make, plus valuable insight for avoiding these mistakes.<\/p>\n

Failing To Monitor Your Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"You\u2019ve done a great job of setting up your Facebook page, and you\u2019ve made friends and fans all over the place. Don\u2019t expect your social media marketing to keep on running on its\u2019 own. One reason social media marketing works so uncannily well is its\u2019 \u201csocial\u201d aspect. You should be updating constantly (at least once every day or every two days) and you should be paying attention to what friends and fans are telling you. Read the messages that come in \u2013 don\u2019t just delete them! Answer every message that seems to require a response. If you fail at the \u201csocial\u201d aspect of social media marketing, you\u2019re just another company, just another cog in the machine.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to avoid making this mistake is to assign someone the task of monitoring your social media for you. This way, you don\u2019t have to wade through everything that comes in, and you can be a resource for the person or team who handles your social media marketing. Your customers will appreciate the way you interact with them, and you\u2019ll be getting an awesome ROI.<\/p>\n

Ignoring Complaints And Failing To\u00a0<\/strong>Admit-fault<\/b><\/p>\n

This is one of the biggest social media marketing mistakes any company of any size can make. Imagine you have a dissatisfied customer, who decides to spread his aggravation with your company all over twitter and Facebook. What do you do? Should you ignore the guy and hope he goes away?<\/p>\n

Absolutely not! If you make this mistake, people are going to start to wonder. Be friendly and courteous, and show your customer you care about him. Make a public apology. While eating crow might not feel the best, it\u2019s a great way to show that \u201csocial\u201d side of your business. Who knows, you may even endear yourself to your customers, even more. Everyone makes mistakes, so if you\u2019re caught in a mistake, don\u2019t lie or cover it up. Handle it, and move on.<\/p>\n

Failing To Provide Incentives\u00a0\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect fans and friends to flock your way without providing them with an incentive to do so. Offer special discounts to your loyal customers, and give out helpful hints on a regular basis. My favorite greenhouse gives gardening tips every day, and for some reason, I can\u2019t help but go there and buy more plants and products. I also give them lots of recommends. This is just one example of how much people love to believe that they are getting a value, and illustrates the fact they enjoy passing the things they like on to others. This is one of the biggest reasons social media marketing works, so give good incentives, and watch your business grow.<\/p>\n
