• The most important piece of any social media strategy is content.
Having quality content is critical for the Cuesent Facebook page. On
the next slide, we discuss what the direction and tone of
communication will be.
• Through our experience we know what status updates work and what don’t, what
gets more likes and comments, etc. We have studied the Facebook EDGE ranking
systems & know how to make good updates.
• We plan to have approximately 8-10 updates a week, which works out to 1-2
updates a day. They will vary from informational to sales to educative updates.
• Mechanism: We always plan in advance for Facebook updates. Our mechanism is
simple, the content writing team will create a “content bank” which is basically a
stream of updates for 2 weeks (so about 20 updates). These will be used once
approved by your team.

Having regular contests is another important aspect of the Facebook strategy.
We will come up with contest ideas and execute them fully on Facebook. We will
make sure that contests:
– Are relevant and have some relationship with the brand (not random contests like: tell us who
will win the IPL and win something.)
– Are fun and engaging to take part in and incorporate the social aspect.
– Have meaningful incentives for fans to invest time and take part in the contest.

contests for many brands that we’ve worked with.

Content moderation and flagging of spam, unwanted ads,
misleading comments, profanity, etc, will be monitored regularly
by us and will be dealt with it.
- Using the keyword blocker, we can first put the few keywords (like competitors, etc) so that those
names are never mentioned on your Facebook page.
- Next, we will set the profanity blocker to the highest level so that no profanity is allowed and
those comments will not even get posted.
- The default wall will have posts only by Cuesent, so if an individual has to see posts by others,
they will have to click on “recent updates.”
- Our team will also monitor comments on a regular basis (everyday), and reply to queries, answer
any doubts, etc.
- Also, we will always approach the method of - Engage and reply first, ban later. If a fan is
repeatedly posting negative and misleading comments on the page, we can ban them.
- We will also be in constant touch with the Cuesent marketing team if there are
any serious issues and will work together to resolve them.
