Responsive

In terms of responsiveness, if brands actively engage with customers/users and respond to their audience in a timely manner, it will in turn help improve brand value and reputation. Customers feel a level of satisfaction when a brand publicly and directly acknowledges them, and this is in many cases followed by increased brand loyalty.

Community Focused

Customer service and responsiveness on social media shouldn’t be seen as a hassle, rather, as a valuable chance to improve and build brand value and reputation. No response is the worst kind of response there is, this advice is so important when dealing with customer communication on social media.  The longer a brand waits to address a customer, the more time there is for the initial issue or query to blow up into something bigger and harder to control. Leaving your audience unanswered can have major consequences for your brands’ overall reputation.

Engaged

To put it simply, the more time you choose to dedicate to engaging with your audience, the better your social media endeavours and overall brand reputation will be.
