Below you’ll find some advice: 

Make Sure Everyone Is On The Same Page

If you have multiple people use the social media accounts, ensure everyone is on the same page. Make sure everybody knows what sort of content they should be posting, what not to post, and even the type of voice to use. 

Watch What You Post

It’s so important to stay ahead of what’s going on so you can make sure your posts are well timed and beneficial. Make sure you don’t post anything that could be perceived as offensive, and listen carefully to your audience if they tell you something is. Apologize when you make mistakes. Own up – don’t pretend it didn’t happen.
