Faux pas and getting things rwongg
12
• Engage with the problem straight away (after getting all the facts first)• Try to take the emotion out of it – if the exchange is inflammatory, make sure
you are calm before engaging• Don’t engage in slanging matches – if someone is irritating you – walk away!• Take it offline if it is getting out of hand or if you are exchanging personal
details.
What to do when something goes wrong
Remember: the point of engaging with social media is to show your business’ human face - don’t be afraid to say sorry or that you’re wrong, mistakes happen to all of us, it’s how you deal with them that counts.

• Never ask someone to re-tweet or ‘like’ something • Never re-tweet or share content from others without giving attribution• Do not confuse your business account with your personal account• Do not use ‘SM for business’ as a personal SMS service (people really don’t
want to know what you are having for dinner!)• Do not type in all caps – EVER!• Don’t ‘sell’• Don’t Spam• Don’t say anything online that you wouldn’t say in front of a news camera• Don’t automate all of your responses

Final points
15
1. Use your own voice2. Use the same language that your audience uses - but be sure to remain professional 3. Keep pushing out content – be consistent4. Don’t use industry jargon5. Be transparent, open honest reliable and trustworthy6. Re-purpose content – a press release can be used as a blog, tweet, share on Facebook etc
but make sure it’s appropriate for the audience 7. Give up a measure of control - make it easy for the public to do what you want them to do
and make it clear what you are asking for and be open to advice and criticism8. If you use someone else’s material, source it – it’s polite and it helps build community and
sharing.9. Always give attribution
Remember that social media is a public space - don’t damage another person’s reputation or behave in a way you wouldn’t in person.
