7. Social Manager Activities Ideas List
Educate Promote Activate Ambassadors Maintain Good Hygiene
Be patient and persistent as you increase digital know-how and face “motivational” issues.
Draw attention to your social platform by creating opportunity for increased awareness and trial.
Find volunteers in your company who have passion for social and are willing to donate some of their time.
Social channels need ongoing care. Think through what needs to be done, who’ll do it and on what schedule.
Ideas for increasing digital know-how:
Individual level- Shoulder-to-shoulder sessionsTeam level- Presentations at department meetings- Social Mentoring Organizational level- “Quick Tips” in newsletters - How-to tutorials in lots of different formats (one pagers, video, screenshots) - “Lunch and Learn” demos- Special Tags like #HowDoI?, #YammerTip
Ideas for addressing motivational issues- Leadership support and use- Dispel myths- Showcase appropriate use
Ideas:
- Celebrate success - “No email Fridays” - Celebrate X number of users signed up - Regular e-mail summary of Top Topics - Online scavenger hunts- Contests - Live, interactive interviews with executives - Coordination with live business events (such as start of the fiscal year, new product launches…)- Be on the lookout for watershed moments, opportunities that can put your platform into over-drive (company on the news, new product, crisis) - ...
Activities for Ambassadors:
Online - “Be the good example” - Welcome new users- Make connections between users and conversations - Answer “How do I?” questions- Post great content - Flag inappropriate content- Report on local news
Offline - Work the watercooler- Encourage use- Present/give demos
(Varies by social platform)
- Granting access - Training for administrators - User alignment (especially important if system isn’t synced automatically with your Corporate Directory System.)- Deleting old or not used content - Maintaining Taxonomy / tags- …
5 social tasks you’ll probably need to teach your corporate co-workers 1) How to setup a Profile 2) Following (and what it means to be followed)
3) What Groups are and how to use them 4) Commenting within a threaded message 5) Using tags
