What To tackleCustomer Complaints on Social Media

Social media is more than just a place for us to spread the word about our products and services; it’s the place we can put our fingers to get a read on our pulse in the form of feedback. People speak their minds on social media, and if they’re saying good things about you, then you’re definitely going in the right direction. If they’re not saying good things, though, don’t ignore them. Customer complaints on social media are no less valid than those made through traditional sources, so make sure you go through the proper steps.
Social Media Complaints
Step One: Absorb The Feedback
Acknowledge that someone has left a complaint. That means you need to read it, and see what the complaint is in regards to. Don’t just scroll past, or worse, delete the comment from your social media account and move on.
Step Two: Analyze The Feedback
It’s not enough to just acknowledge that someone left customer complaints on social media, and to move on. You have to understand why those complaints happened. At what point in the cycle did something go wrong? Did they receive bad service, not get the right product, or was the product they received defective in some way? The comment might be detailed enough in itself to figure out where the breakdown occurred, but if it isn’t then you should reply to the commenter and ask for details. The worst thing you can do, according to Forbes, is to remain silent.
Step Three: Fix The Situation
It’s not always easy to fix what a customer has complained about, but you should make the effort all the same. Whether it’s a small token of apology (like a discount on a future purchase), or something larger (like sending them a replacement item or offering a free service), it is important to move quickly, and decisively according to Social Media Examiner. Even if you don’t have a final decision, try to give the customer an initial response within the hour of a comment being left. That shows you’re looking into their issue, and that you’re taking them seriously.
Social media has removed a lot of the middlemen, and it’s allowed customers and companies to speak directly to each other in an unprecedented way. For more advice on how to handle that, simply contact us today!

The Importance of Digital Marketing

Image
There’s no denying it, the world is rapidly shifting from analogue to digital. People are consuming more and more digital content on a daily basis – on mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers at work, and more – and companies that have not yet recognised this in their marketing strategies need to adapt fast. Why is digital marketing so important? Because it is not only a rapidly growing force in the current marketing playing field, it is set to be the future of marketing, and it seems likely that digital media will soon replace more traditional forms altogether. While older generations will no doubt lament the demise of paper-based newspapers, books, communication methods and traditional TV and radio broadcasts, those who have grown up with the internet and mobile phones as a God-given right are already embracing the brave new world of digital consumption.

4 Tips For Maximizing Your Social Media Effectiveness

Image
To some people, social media is the place they go to interact with friends and to catch up on the latest trends. For businesses, though, social media is a big pond full of fish. The goal is to put out some bait and to tempt as many of those fish over to your part of the pond as possible. If you want to make sure you get as many fish following you as possible, here are four tips for maximizing your  social media  effectiveness. Tip #1: Pictures Really Are Worth (More Than) A Thousand Words The importance of the visual components of any social media post cannot be overstated. When a user is on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram or even LinkedIn, they’re scrolling through their feed. Your post has to catch their attention and hold it long enough to make them stop. Words alone cannot do that. The right image, though, or a video, can make a scroller stop in their tracks to see just what it is they’re looking at. This is why, whenever possible, your posts should be ...
