1. Social Media Optimisation: A Consistent Brand is Critical… again! Respect your audience - Treat social media as a means to serve the customer, and enhance their overall buying experience, don’t use it just to ‘push products’; by focusing on the customer you have the ability to create loyalty and the to communicate your dedication. Prompt responses are essential - With increased options businesses can’t afford to overlook people who are used to receiving immediate answers. If you cannot provide that answer, make sure the customer knows you are working on it and, plan a follow-up with customer as soon as you have an answer. Always follow-up - Businesses that follow up, take polls, and monitor keywords on social media perform better in the long run. Using the example above, make sure you take note of particular customer pain points, and use that data to follow-up by asking specific questions in surveys or polls. Personalise your feedback - Show your audience you are listening by acting on the feedback they give you and, show them you respect and value their input by sending digital thank you notes, personalised discounts and other incentives. Stay Fluid - The ability the internet gives us to share and receive instant feedback creates the potential for sudden changes in what your customer wants and needs. These changes may be apparent to you at times, but when they are not, pay attention to the comments, keywords, and feedback you receive on your social media platforms. This data will help your business generate new ideas.

3. Email Optimisation: Everyone should feel that the email is just another transition from the website. Same writing style. Same tone. Same brand. Email is that great “second chance opportunity” you have to connect with your users - so don’t waste it. Let them be clear about when and how they prefer to receive your messages. Let them easily choose what to receive and don’t make them feel “tricked” because they accidentally forgot to uncheck that box that says “sign me up for notifications”. Yes, giving people more control of their data this way will lead some to opt-out. But those that do remain genuinely want to hear from you – so making the effort to entice and delight them should be a priority. And remember, with email, it’s the little things that make a big difference. How many times have you gotten an email from a company, only to hit reply to clarify something and see the dreaded [email protected] or get that message that “this message was sent from an unattended mailbox.” What kind of message is that sending to your prospects?
