“The Internet is loaded with articles and blog posts about the importance of creating a social media policy,” said Deborah Chaddock Brown, owner of AllWrite Ink. “Just like with all aspects of business, employers need to put in writing the rules and regulations for every aspect of their business so that employees understand what is expected; this is doubly important for social media behavior because it involves the brand image of the company.”

Brown has created a http://www.policyforsocialmedia.com that outlines 16 policies and procedures for the use of and acceptable behavior with social media; both on and off the job.

“Business owners have enough on their plate without taking the time to create a written policy for social media. I have created a manual for them that can be downloaded. The policy for social media outlines the benefits of using social media and defines the boundaries of acceptable behavior.”

Consumers are using social media to research purchases and to seek out companies to do business with. Companies using social media to engage in conversation with their target prospects have a leg up over the competition. Employees from multiple departments (marketing, operations, merchandising and research/development) have the opportunity to learn from consumers and seek their opinion before launching new products. The Policy for Social Media helps to define the process for participation as well as outlining acceptable and unacceptable behaviors and consequences.
