Understand the language, nuances, and visuals that would relate best with diverse audiences, you want them to feel "they get me" when they interact with your brand. Make an effort to do research and do multiple ads or campaigns to tailored to different cultural norms. It takes more work but will be more effective for conversions and a stronger community. Why You Need A Crisis Communications Plan For Social Media Troy also discussed the important of having a crisis communications plan for social media. He shared these tips.. Don't bring more attention to a complaint by responding if they appear to be disorderly and disruptive and not able to have a conversation with or a "troll". On Facebook you can hide comments. The only person who would see them is that user, no one else would see them. This has been an effective strategy to mitigate a situation with little to no damage to the community.
