If You Have Time To Manage Your Social Media, Your Social Media Is Not Effective

​I spent some with two clients in the past week, and they each expressed similar stories.  They contracted with a social media company to handle their postings and profiles, and each wound up with nothing. 
 
The practices recognized that an effective social media strategy is more than just giving a front desk person, or receptionist, admin rights to a Facebook page.   They knew that the “strategy” is key to social media management.
 
They did their homework, hired an affordable marketing company, and trusted them to create a campaign that would increase their business. 
 
The first few months were great.  The owners spoke regularly with their team, and their online presences and sales increased.  Once things were in place, the owners eased up their contact and trusted the company to do what they were contracted to do.  As a result, the company did less and less.
 
Guess what?  Over time, the owners couldn’t determine any marginal value for the money they spent, and they ultimately canceled their contract after months of wasting money.
 
So, what to do? 
 
First of all, you more than likely do not have time to manage your own social media.  You as the owner or your manager or your front desk person should be too busy to map out a social media strategy.  If you are still managing it yourself, then your social media is ineffective.  If it was working, you would be too busy with customers and patients to be your company’s social media manager. 
 
Second, contracting your social media management is great if you are clear about several things.  You should be clear how much engagement you expect.  Be clear about the story you want told.  Be clear about the result you expect.
 
Third, establish what communication looks like (and frequency).  Tie your contract to their communication. 
 
These tips will help you chart path of social media growth, and hopefully, they will lead you to revenue growth as well.
