3. Being strategic Every channel needs a clear purpose. Channels should work in conjunction with one another. All properties should be seen as part of a brand ’ s ecosystem. Channels must not be a tick boxing exercise. OSL
4. Twitter E-Mail YouTube OSL Mobile Facebook The merchant ships of Venice It ’ s not safe to pick just one social database and it ’ s not right either. People don ’ t do that, they use them for different things. Brands should too.
5. Being strategic If there ’ s no clear vision for a channel, don ’ t launch it. No channel should be in isolation. Use platforms for what they ’ re good at. OSL
6. Divide by level of engagement Brands have to use social networks in the way people do. Value of engagement Frequency of engagement Twitter Facebook Youtube Mobile email OSL
7. OSL Tweets can be short, sharp and shareable drivers to wider campaign websites. @tweets provides an easy way to associate content with another Twitter account. Using hash tags helps to package related tweets together and align tweets with particular topics. Facebook provides more space to encourage conversation and generate debate. Facebook offers more post type options
8. Best Practice Each online property needs a carefully developed tone of voice developed. You can ’ t simply copy and paste creative from off to online. Different platforms require different types of creative. OSL
9. Best Practice There should be a call to action to everything, be it to discuss/share/donate etc. Channels must be regularly maintained and not left dormant. Channels must be useful, informative and varied. OSL
10. OSL Content has to cut through the noise. Content can ’ t simply be posted up and left alone. Regular moderation and conversation is required. Analytics needs to be reviewed to ensure content is posted in the best way.
12. OSL Crisis Management If you ’ re not going to listen to what people are saying, don ’ t ‘ do ’ social media. If you ’ re not going to respond to what people are saying, don ’ t ‘ do ’ social media. Being on social media platforms invites people you interact with you, and you must.

14. OSL Making everything social The general internet user now expects any and every brand to be online. Not having a presence where people expect you means you lose out. All web activity requires a social element.
15. OSL It needs to be easy for users to share content The more call to actions there are for people to share, the further content goes Articles that are heavily shared contribute to a website ’ s natural search results
16. OSL Users should be one click away from joining your channels People should be able to respond there and then
17. OSL There should be a range of voices and department represented throughout channels. A range of voices emphasises the scope of an organisation and its areas of work. Personality is often likely to convince somebody to commit a pledge or donation.
18. OSL Direct marketing creative doesn ’ t transfer easily to online. Online platforms need to be considered so the proposition ’ s compelling. http://www.fairtweets.com http://charityswearbox.com /

21. OSL Amplifying Activity All brands and organisations need to attain as well as retain audiences. It ’ s important that the same messages aren ’ t regurgitated to the same people. Successful social media channels look beyond their existing crowd, attracting newcomers.
