Content on facebook has been increasing. The algorithm filters corporate pages

You also have another layer of location targeting, allowing to be even more specific:
- Everyone in this location (the default targeting option)
- The last updated location of an actual Facebook user
- People who live in this location
- Location is set by the location on a user’s Facebook profile and confirmed by their IP address.
- People recently in this location
- Tracked by mobile device usage in the geographic area you intend to target.
- People traveling to this location
- Users who had this geographic area as a recent location that’s at least 100 miles away from their home location
What to do and what do avoid when using social media campaigns??
Do:
- Do not delete messages/ comments
- Apologise in an authentic manner
- Take critique seriously
- Engage the most prominent/ vocal critics
- Remain calm , every storm moves on
- React to date
Don't:
- Do not listen (united airlines)
- Do not react (dell)
- Work with unauthentic messages (NYPD)
- Use wrong medium (NYPD)
- E.g. musicians produce youtube song about company fail. 18'500'000 vies withing 4 days stock price decreased by 10 % since the company did not react in time to this video.
- Think about what could go wrong with a campaign before you launch it.
- E.g NYPD launched a campaign and expected happy pictures with the police with "do you have a photo w/ a member of the NYPD? Tweet us & tag it . Result was a flood of pictures with officers mistreating people, and cynical comments. 70000 people tweeted aout police brutality and comments postet at a rate of 10'000 an hour. Bad response. Image was more damaged thatn ever.
What is there to understand about the social media usage and users contes?
- Demographic: : Twitter users young/urban; no "social obedience" ▪
- Medium: no control "Tweets are like roaches". Most content is negative, funny or sarcastic.
- Brand: already negative sentiment => avoid a hashtag campaign.
- Alternatives
- Feel-good user generated photos through a contest on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest
- Use Twitter:
- Upcoming events with positive/ neutral PR surrounding; for monitoring not for campaigning
- Nevertheless: More people are following @NYPDNews
