Building diverse public relations is a strategic move that benefits everyone, from individuals to

companies. Social media platforms make this possible effectively and distinctively—and they already do. That’s why it’s important to

build and benefit from strong, meaningful relationships on social platforms, rather than settling for

بجمع الأصدقاء.

Many companies see social platforms as a playing field and a competition, where the team with the most

fans or followers wins.

The truth is, when it comes to social platforms, it’s not the numbers that matter, but the meaning and value

you get from them. If social platforms are all about building relationships, then the quality of those relationships

will determine your return on investment (ROI).

Numbers matter a lot, but only if you use them the right way. Ultimately, what really matters is the quality of

the conversations you have with your community on social platforms. So how can you make your relationships stronger?

How to Use Social Networks Professionally

Effective ways to build strong relationships on social platforms

1. كن واقعيّاً

Use social platforms to encourage the exchange of genuine ideas, and take part in conversations in a meaningful way.

Communication is always important when it’s genuine, but it can be a pointless distraction when it’s fake. Survey customer responses

to get a sense of what they want and care about, and respond accordingly.

2. Don’t censor your followers

You shouldn’t filter or categorize any of your followers—for example, those who follow you on Facebook (unless they post comments

offensive or insulting comments about someone else). Sometimes this can be hurtful—people say a lot of

things and are bolder when they don’t have to face you in person. But because we give them space to be honest, they

know they can trust us, and as a result, they remain loyal.

3. Don’t pass them on to someone else

Unfortunately, when customers ask a company a question, they’re often redirected to another point of contact to get

an answer, creating an extra step for customers. Social platforms shouldn’t be used as a temporary pass-through. Instead, they are

An opportunity to connect with your customers directly, without delay. Equip your social media manager with the tools

and knowledge they need to respond right away.

4. Research your industry

Having millions of followers is certainly great. But what percentage of them are actually the customers

you’re targeting? I mean your core audience—the people you most want to engage with on social media. And the people

who found you through a friend’s recommendation or your own website and genuinely want to connect with your brand

…brand. Talk to them; connect them with one another. Keep the conversation going.

5. Brand Ambassadors

Once you find a group interested in your field, reach out to them! The truth is, you don’t need to convince everyone of your brand

…brand. Instead, you need to find even a small number of people who can persuade others on your behalf. To get them

to do that, first make sure you’re worth talking about! Find new ways to make customers happy. Offer

outstanding customer service, involve them in promotions and contests, and treat them as people, not customers. Don’t consider

Don’t take even a single customer’s continued support for granted. Make them believe in what you do. If these few people

are excited about you, they’ll share and spread the word about your brand. Through shares, comments, and links, they’ll help you

spread your message. And if they don’t? Keep going until you find the people who will.

Social platforms have become the face of your business to customers, so it’s important for companies to think of them as a customer service

channel. Take this opportunity to show everyone what it means to engage and do business with you. Don’t worry about

the numbers; focus on making them useful—useful enough to help you build strong relationships across platforms.

Social, in line with your aspirations
