Put this into practice
Treat using social media as part of a coherent customer journey as a practical business decision. Define the outcome, identify the evidence available now, and choose the smallest useful next step rather than adding activity without a clear purpose.
- Give each channel a clear job such as discovery, proof, conversation or retention.
- Create content from genuine customer questions and operational expertise.
- Connect attention to a useful next step on a page you control.
Set a review date and look for evidence of changed behaviour or commercial performance. Keep what works, correct what does not, and document the decision so the team understands the reasoning.
Questions to answer before you act
- What problem are we solving, and for whom?
- What evidence would change our current view?
- What is the next decision, who owns it and when is it due?
