GENERAL AND CONTENT-RELATED RULES
There are common and content-based rules to be followed when managing a social media channel.
We recommend a content plan.
There should be a regularity in postings each week or each month (4-8 posts per month).
Postings should have the most useful effect (informative posts, rich in variety of topics).
Postings should always be a combination of picture and caption (text).
Pictures of employees should always fulfil data privacy and industrial safety rules (see below).
In general: Stay professional!
Do not publish several posts in a day or in a week unless you can keep up with this frequency regularly.
Do not only publish postings on the same topic (e.g. various pictures of trucks) the content should be diverse and informative.
Do not only publish a text posting, or a picture without any caption.
Do not publish employee pictures without explicit consent of the employees and without protective clothes (where needed).
Do not publish pictures containing alcohol, nudity, racism of all sorts. Especially no private content, e.g. car registration number et cetera.
Data privacy and Copyrights
Dealing with source of information
All postings should contain any indication of sources. Especially when dealing with third-party images or content.
Business figures are not allowed to be posted in public. You must contact the Headquarter for an approval: socialmedia@lagermax.com
Dealing with personal rights
Keep in mind: You will need a written consent of every single person who is pictured.
Always ensure, that on all pictures containing employees of Lagermax Group the industrial safety rules are observed. Protective clothes should be worn, as well as other industrial safety rules of Lagermax Group should be abided.
Community Management
How does the Lagermax Group deal with messages of customers, feedback and/or criticism on Social Media? In case of any problems, please contact socialmedia@lagermax.com.
Do always keep in mind:
- Criticism is taken seriously and seen as an opportunity for improvement if it is true. Complaints are always responded to, ideally the customer is contacted directly per private message.
- On social media you should communicate and interact with your customers in the same way you do it face-to-face.
- Basically, there should be no difference between how you treat your customers on social media and in direct customer contact.
With the following 4 steps you can solve conflicts in the web:
Novels may be written, but let people puke out calmly. It is only important that all kind of comments will be answered.
Show understanding, if possible, to prevent being the enemy.
Offer communication by mail or, if possible, by phone to avoid having a discussion in public.
Carefully explain the facts and offer a solution or alternative.
