Reasons Why Brands Need Community Management:

π Find where your clients are most active.
π Use a social media tool to pull in mentions of your brand and respond to comments and DMs directly.
π Establish frequency to sweep social media platforms and mentions. The minimum is twice a day (morning sweep and afternoon sweep).

3 Dos and 3 Don'ts when It Comes to Responding to Comments:
DO:
β
Be authentic and have fun! Users love to hear from brands they support.
β
Address what the user says and match their ToV (humorous or serious).
β
Get the facts before responding. Try to get more information from them so you can investigate with your sales and CS teams to see what happened.
DON'T:
β Say anything offensive, discriminate, or attack the user's feelings/opinions (you might think it's funny, but they probably won't).
β Let your emotions show through. You may be frustrated with what a user says, but don't let this be portrayed in your reply.
β Be repetitive βΒ show them that their voice is important to you, and don't copy-paste your replies.

Thank you for sharing these insights on community management in social media! π¬
I agree with the importance of connecting with customers on a more personal level and building trust through engagement. It's a great way to humanize a brand and stand out in a crowded market.
One question I have is how often should brands respond to comments and DMs? Is there a best practice for response time, or does it vary depending on the platform and industry? π€

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the level of consistency you have shown here on product hunt.
Since joining this community I have yet to find a day where you have not contributed to or initiated a discussion. In either case, you manage to provide genuine value every time.
So thank you Nika!
I'll do my best to apply these rules, matching your level of output is quite daunting. Though they say comparison is the thief of joy.

Thanks for the tips, especially the reminder not to let frustration show sometimes when things get rough:) Always good to take a good deep breath and a quick break before responding. Overall better for community health and promotion of positive vibes.
