Here’s What They Have to Say:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Set Goals<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to social media and PR, it\u2019s important to set goals. What are you trying to achieve? How are you trying to achieve it? Goals can range from increased mentions to more website traffic. It all depends on your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Leverage PR Campaigns on Social<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you receive media coverage, it\u2019s in your very best interests to promote that coverage on social. Share links to the story. Get your audience involved in the story. When applicable, follow up on the story. If you\u2019re working on getting media coverage, build up to the pitch with relevant and interesting content pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Engage with Influencers<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Social media influencers can help you get the PR that you desire. In addition to having a loyal following, social media influencers often capture the attention of the media. If you\u2019re connected to an influencer, the media may be more likely to cover your news story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Respond Quickly to Mentions<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When your brand, products, or services are mentioned on social media respond to it. It is in your best interest to interact with the person or other business quickly. If they\u2019ve left a negative comment about you on social, work to remedy the situation quickly. If they’ve left a positive comment about you on social, thank them and engage them in conversation. Ask what you can do to continue to help them solve their problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Consistent Content<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you\u2019re publishing a consistent flow of valuable content. This content can include everything from data and facts, to behind the scenes images and videos. Pay attention to the type of content that your followers respond to on each channel you\u2019re on. For example, they may like user videos on YouTube and behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Get Organized! This is a bonus best practice. If you\u2019re going to post, engage, test and track content, and set goals, then you\u2019re going to need systems in place. Leverage social media marketing tools. Everything from scheduling posts to social listening should be used. You can and should create a content calendar. Through a content calendar you are able to integrate your goals across all marketing tactics and leverage available opportunities. And don\u2019t forget to create systems that support you to engage with your audience and respond to mentions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
