Social Media Marketing is a necessity for growing your business in today\u2019s
\nclimate. While just about everyone knows at least a few things about how
\nto make social media marketing work well \u2026 hardly anybody has a good
\nunderstanding about the type of mistakes that can be made, nor do
\nmost 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 …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are three top Social Media Marketing mistakes companies make,
\nplus valuable insight for avoiding these mistakes.<\/p>\n

Failing To Monitor Your Social Media<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve done a great job of setting up your Facebook page,
\nand you\u2019ve made friends and fans all over the place. Don\u2019t
\nexpect your Social Media Marketing to keep on running on its\u2019 own.<\/p>\n

One reason Social Media Marketing works so uncannily well is its\u2019
\n\u201csocial\u201d aspect. You should be updating constantly (at least once
\nevery day or every two days) and you should be paying attention
\nto what friends and fans are telling you.<\/p>\n

Read the messages that come in \u2013 don\u2019t just delete them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer every message that seems to require a response. If you fail
\nat the \u201csocial\u201d aspect of Social Media Marketing, you\u2019re just another
\ncompany, just another cog in the machine.<\/p>\n

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

Ignoring Complaints And Failing To Admit Fault<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is one of the biggest Social Media Marketing mistakes any company
\nof any size can make. Imagine you have a dissatisfied customer, who
\ndecides to spread his aggravation with your company all over twitter
\nand Facebook. What do you do? Should you ignore the guy and hope
\nhe goes away? Absolutely not! If you make this mistake, people are
\ngoing to start to wonder. Be friendly and courteous, and show your
\ncustomer you care about him. Make a public apology.<\/p>\n

While eating crow might not feel the best, it\u2019s a great way to show
\nthat \u201csocial\u201d side of your business. Who knows, you may even endear
\nyourself to your customers, even more. Everyone makes mistakes,
\nso if you\u2019re caught in a mistake, don\u2019t lie or cover it up.
\nHandle it, and move on.<\/p>\n

Failing To Provide Incentives<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect fans and friends to flock your way without providing
\nthem with an incentive to do so. Offer special discounts to your loyal
\ncustomers, and give out helpful hints on a regular basis. My favorite
\ngreenhouse gives gardening tips every day, and for some reason,
\nI can\u2019t help but go there and buy more plants and products.<\/p>\n

I also give them lots of recommends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is just one example of how much people love to believe that
\nthey are getting a value, and illustrates the fact they enjoy passing
\nthe things they like on to others. This is one of the biggest reasons
\nSocial Media Marketing works, so give good incentives, and watch
\nyour business grow.<\/p>\n
