Social media can be both a friend and a foe

 



(MoneyNewsWire.Net, July 09, 2015 ) London, UK -- However, it's worth bearing in mind that the all powerful effects of social media can have significant consequences for businesses which are not prepared for, or aware of the negative side of this vast communication mechanism.



Social media should be managed with an eye on how the business can gain from its reach and exposure to new markets etc, but also with an eye on how to cope if it turns around to bite – and there are various ways that this can happen.



Company profiles on social media may be managed by numerous employees with access to the login details. It may even be a fundamental part of their role – but what measures are in place for when someone leaves the company and still has access to that platform?



It doesn't need to be a sacking – people will often leave under 'amicable' circumstances rather than face a confrontation – but they may still bear a grudge and could cause untold damage to your company profile if they can access and manipulate your social media platforms maliciously. This can even happen before they leave if they are still entrusted with the login details while working an unhappy notice period.



It would be very difficult for a business owner to explain to its entire client base that controversial comments posted on its social media networks were a misunderstanding and the impact on trade could be devastating and might happen in an instant. Prevention is definitely better than cure and it is worth incorporating social media in your HR plan for managing staff turnover.



External social media sources can also pose a threat. We all tend to read reviews about holidays, restaurants, services and products and are often influenced by them into making a decision to purchase.



Claims have been made that not only are some recommendations and 'positive' testimonials false, but that in some situations competitors have maliciously posted false negative reviews. If not addressed, such posts can do untold damage to a business. Sales can tumble and in no time it will impact on cash flow. Whilst it may be possible to seek redress through the courts the damage to the business can cause a business to fall into very difficult circumstances.



It is essential to have a policy in place to regularly monitor posts on the internet. The immediacy of social channels means that damage can go viral very quickly, sending the business into free-fall. Learning how to engage with criticism on social media platforms is crucial as a business survival technique.



Mistaken identity can also cause massive problems for businesses, particularly on Twitter – where a missed hyphen in an address could be the difference between your business trundling along nicely and being slated for something it has no affiliation to.



All of these points could be sufficient to push a business into difficulties and even insolvency, but the lasting damage to reputation from some of the points raised could still come back to haunt you over time even if the initial impact is survived. And so it pays to connect with insolvency and business turnaround specialists to find the right advice on what to do - timely advice can help avoid Bankruptcy, Liquidation or Administration.



Don't shy away from social media – it's an amazing marketing tool if used correctly, but don't hide from the pitfalls either. Speak to Wilson Field if you want advice on how to keep your business on the right track to success, or need help if you are affected by adverse circumstances.
