and retail that were early adopters of social media, facilities management has been slow to exploit these new communication opportunities.
across all platforms.
The most striking observation uncovered by Magenta’s research is the lack of commitment and resources allocated to social media, with many organisations dipping a toe into the water and then sporadically updating after the honeymoon period is over.
This research has uncovered some key areas where many organisations fell well below the recommended best practice. Here are some key recommendations for the top facilities management companies and others within the sector.
1
Before setting up social2 3
media channels, write a social media strategy, outlining what you are looking to achieve through social media, how it will be managed, including a budget and resources, and how performance will be measured. Do not set up a channel on a whim. And do not set up a social media channel just because it’s there. It has to be right for your business
List your social media channels prominently on your website, corporate literature (including business cards) and press releases to ensure your audience knows where to find you
If your organisation uses multiple channels, for different parts of the business, ensure they are well signposted. Ensure there is some form of centralised control over official company accounts so they look and feel part of a family, and are managed in a similar way
4
Encourage your5 6
senior team to tweet regularly under their own accounts. People buy from people, not companies, and people also have more interesting things to say than companies. Offer plenty of freedom while ensuring people stick to a social media policy
Once a channel has been set up ensure it is well-managed with regular news, comments and conversations. If this no longer becomes possible because of a change in strategy or direction, either close down the account, or at the very least ensure it is monitored so any queries can be responded to
Don’t use social media only to talk about your business. Adhere to the one in 15 marketing posts theory and aim to become a trusted source of information about facilities management, sharing material from a range of sources, offering advice, asking questions and generally being a great conversationalist
7
Whenever possible use8 9
open-ended questions and try to promote interaction with social media posts.
Listen as much as you talk. Ensure your followers to followed ratio is broadly 1.1 Engage with journalists and industry leaders. Search for keywords such as #facilitiesmanagement and join in, and start, debates
Tweet and post pictures and video links at least as much as you tweet statuses, if not more
10
Tweet more in the11 12
afternoon, when retweeting activity is higher, and later in the week and don’t forget the weekends for Facebook
Measure what you do, and find out what generates the most engagement. And do more of that
Take time to
personalise your social media channels and make them look part of your brand
