How Social Media Marketing Can Get You In Trouble

by

At this point, it's a pretty widely accepted fact that if you're not using social media in your marketing efforts, you're well behind in the world of advertising. Creating a community through these social networks is one of the best ways to get people engaged with your brand and to get the word out about what's happening within your company. However, it's a double-edged sword; as easy as it is to better connect with your customers through social media, it's just as easy to have a colossal screw up.

With this in mind, we've compiled a list of some of the ways that social media marketing can get you in trouble if you're not careful. Be sure to avoid these practices!

Most people will probably read these tips and think of them as being common sense, but they bear worth repeating. We've all seen examples of companies making gigantic mistakes over social media and the inevitable backlash that they face as a result. Avoid that type of backlash by following these rules in all situations.

About Thomas von Ahn

With more than 30 years of experience in B2B sales across various industries, Thomas has unique insight into both the offline and online sales sphere. It was during his time in the trenches that Thomas noticed a recurring theme: Though business owners are knowledgeable about their craft or trade, they often struggle to market and sell to their prospects. This realization is what prompted Thomas and his now business partner, Christine, to bring Viral Solutions to life. Since starting the company, Thomas has been able to assist countless business owners in developing a solid marketing plan based upon sound marketing strategy, then assigning the marketing tactics to a team of talented employees, and, finally, watching those actions unfold—his true passion.

Though Viral Solutions is on Thomas’ mind 24/7, he does occasionally take a break to cheer on the Green Bay Packers and enjoy his adopted home of Wisconsin. Much of his family also works at Viral Solutions, and this closeness with family and employees is the cornerstone of the Viral Solutions culture.
