Now that media is evolving into ‘social’ media, does that mean we neglect our social graces? Let’s think back to the basics – Communication 101. Blogging and social media contact for business requires the same level of careful communication and professionalism whether you are online or offline. We should all stop, take a breath and remember what’s important – a clear, concise message and a little communications etiquette, if you will.
Here are a few thoughts to consider:
Just because there is a lack of face to face contact doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use tact in your communication. You are still representing yourself and your business.
Take the time to put your best face forward. Collect your thoughts and make sure you are expressing them efficiently and effectively.
Remember, this is a give and take process – think about offering ideas and information related to your business that is educational for your viewers/readers/fans.
Finally, it’s okay to let your personality shine through your online communications, but don’t be too personal (if you know what I mean).
I welcome your comments and feedback.
