Social media managers during a crisis, retweet relevant information
Amy doesn't let her clients know when she is pausing their campaigns
Marketing calendars should be flexible.
In cannabis filling tweets 2 weeks in advance could create problems because things change on a daily basis.
Respect the hashtag. Don’t hijack trending hashtags to promote your business when not related.
Use trending topics for what they are for… trending topics.
How long should a social media campaign say paused?
- It depends, how bad was it?
- If you use a location-based hashtag for marketing, pause use until after the news has stopped.
- Taking selfies of yourself volunteering is not good for your brand, says Amy. Put the camera away and use 2 hands to help.
Sell hurricane equipment before that season, not after.
If you have a local business during a local emergency don’t go silent. Use your blog and social media to share resources or help others. - Jen Miller
When in doubt, lay out.
