On-The-Go Community Management Best Practices
Your content builds a sense of community online, so you need to adopt community management tactics to continue building and maintaining authentic relationships.
When customers have a question or issue, they’re not sending emails—they’re hitting you up on social media. That’s why having an SMM app for inbox is no longer a ‘nice-to-have,’ but a ‘must-have.’
The more visible and engaging you are with your audience, the more trust you will build; from there, a community will flourish.
Here are our four top tips for success:
Tip #1: Create Saved Replies
Having saved replies ready is the first step to managing your social community on the go.
More often than not, you’re going to get multiple messages asking the same thing.
To help get you started, here are the most common queries and messages brands typically receive on social media:
- Product Inquiries: Customers often reach out to ask about specific products, such as availability, features, sizes, and prices.
- Order Status Updates: Many messages are about order tracking and delivery timelines.
- Customer Support Requests: Users frequently seek assistance with issues like product troubleshooting, returns, exchanges, or complaints.
- Feedback and Reviews: Social media is a go-to for customers wanting to share their experiences, whether positive or negative.
- Promotions and Sales Information: Queries about ongoing or upcoming promotions and sales are common. Customers love deals and often reach out to ensure they’re getting the best offers.
- Business Information: Questions about store locations, opening hours, contact details, and services offered are frequently asked. Clear, concise information is key here.
- Collaborations and Partnerships: Brands often receive messages from influencers, other brands, or organizations looking to collaborate or partner up.
- Event Information: Queries about events, webinars, or workshops that your brand is hosting or participating in are common, especially if you’re active in community engagement or industry events.
Vista Social makes it easier than ever to save replies in your social inbox, so you’ve got all ground covered.
It’s the ultimate time-saver and ensures you never miss an important message!
Tip #2: Leave Internal Notes
If you have multiple people involved in community management, it’s a good idea to leverage internal notes.
This can help you identify what team member is going to respond and help ensure things run smoothly.
Plus, if an inquiry is referencing a past conversation with a specific team member, it can help others understand the context and pick up where they left off.
Tip #3: Leverage Status Controls
Organization prevents stress. Just as you would use status controls for your email inbox, it’s a good rule of thumb to mark your social conversations as well.
With Vista Social’s mobile app, you can mark conversations as acknowledged or star them for later.
If you’ve decided that your inbox is strictly closed on weekends, there’s no need to apologize or feel guilty.
Healthy work boundaries should allow for a little space to recharge and come back with your creative juices charged.
Plus, with status controls, you can come back on Monday ready to address the most important inquiries.
Tip #4: Say Goodbye to The Bots
Social media never sleeps and apparently neither do these pesky bots (no, seriously—what is going on with these things lately)?
There is nothing worse than seeing your inbox or notifications flooded with bots telling you to “PROMOTE IT ON” or “DM it here”.
Aside from it being super annoying, it also can be a huge time-suck to filter through manually.
To make things a little more peaceful, use Vista Social’s spam controls for your social inbox.
Bye bots, see you never! ✌️
