📱 Being Mindful on Social Media 📱
You’ve heard it over and over -- we are in unprecedented times. Social media can be a powerful tool for sharing accurate information and, unfortunately, it can also be a tool to fuel misinformation and fear. Here are some best practices to keep your social media sharing accurate and helpful:
Share only from valid sources.
First (and perhaps most importantly), if you are sharing COVID-19 related messages, make sure they come from a reliable source like the CDC, your official state sites, major news organizations, etc.
Use the marketing graphics available on C21SchmidtResources.
The Buyer & Seller graphics on C21SchmidtResources.com are designed to provide sharable content for you to communicate your virtual value and a message of positivity during these times. With this, as with anything on social, make sure you are sharing with the right tone to reflect this ever-changing environment.
Good News is in the air!
Positive Outlook is one of our core values! If you have good news in your business or personal life, make sure to share that positivity!
Strike the right tone.
Now may not be the time to share all of our #1 claims. Instead, think of ways you can communicate your value and what you are doing to help your clients and your community. Maybe it is through making virtual connections with local businesses or delivering items to the elderly? Share that good news in the right tone.
It is ok to say nothing.
Sometimes we feel like we have to keep sharing, posting – but if situations become devastating, not posting can be powerful. You are not adding to the clutter, you are silently being respectful. There may be times when our company social media profiles are not posting. This is in an effort to be sensitive to this ever-changing environment.
Be kind.
We are all in this together. As Philip Larkin says in his great poem The Mower:
