7 Things Businesses should Never do on Social Media

Social media is an important part of marketing your business, so if you don’t have at least one social media account for your company, then you’re probably missing out!

Even though your social media accounts let you interact with customers and potential customers, you need to be careful not to do these 7 things.

     -          Be offensive

Nothing will ruin a brand or business faster than offensive social media posts or comments make sure the person who handles your posts is trustworthy.

     -          Delete comments or reviews

Not everyone is going to give you positive comments and reviews, but deleting these posts will look bad, rather leave them up and reply in a professional, polite manner.

     -          Argue with people

Even if someone on social media is trying to start a fight with you, rather rise above them and respond by trying to win that person over.

     -          Lie

Always tell the truth, even though marketing can sometimes involve over emphasizing products and services.

     -           Spam

There is nothing worse than a business that spams customers, so never tag followers or overload people with too many ads and shares.

     -          Post negatively about competitors

Supporting your fellow businesses not only boosts your industry and helps everyone, but it also makes you look gracious to your customers.

     -          Stagnate

Brands sometimes forget about their social media accounts and neglect them, when this happens customers often become bored and move onto other brands.
