Business ‘Best Practice’ Guidelines for South of Seoul Facebook Groups

Defining a Business Post: A business post is any post made by the business owners, staff, family members, or affiliated people such as marketing support for the purpose of promoting a business.

1. Post Your Business in the South of Seoul App

All businesses who share information in the South of Seoul groups must be listed in the South of Seoul app. If you need help with this please message at southofseoul@gmail.com.

2. Add South of Seoul information to your posts

A version of the following text should be included in every post in the South of Seoul groups. Please 1) copy the following text, 2) insert your business information, and 3) add to your promotional posts in South of Seoul Facebook groups:

You can find (business name) in the South of Seoul app. Leave a review and save us to your favorites list. Our business hours are (business hours) You can find us on Naver Maps using this phone number: (business phone number listed in Naver).

3. Post only on Mondays

The South of Seoul community has responded very well to Business Mondays! Having businesses post once a week creates a smoother flow of information and helps the other days feel more welcoming and supportive of individual community posts.

In the past, we have seen groups ban businesses entirely, but South of Seoul sees this as a failure and not a solution. Instead, we found a way to keep us all living happily together as the communities grow. Of course, this does mean that businesses need to follow the group rules in order to maintain balance within the community.

** Businesses that do not comply with ‘best practices’ or group rules may experience one of the following moderation experiences 1) Reminder comment to post to comply with rules, 2) deletion of non-compliant posts, 3) posting restrictions, or 4) removed from the group. Once removed from the group, businesses may not re-enter.

4. Keep Your Content Interesting

If a business always shares the same posts with the same photos every single week, we will start to edit them out. Why do we do this? To save the business from itself. Our community is very active. When people see the same post for the 12th week in a row they either 1) stop caring 2) get irritated – neither are good responses for the business. We step in and try to save people from themselves.

** Businesses that do not comply with ‘best practices’ or group rules may experience one of the following moderation experiences 1) Reminder comment to post to comply with rules, 2) deletion of non-compliant posts, 3) posting restrictions, or 4) removed from the group. Once removed from the group, businesses may not re-enter.

5. Answer Community Questions

A great way to improve your customer relationships is by providing information to the community. Offer information and answers to questions unrelated to the business. Demonstrate empathy and humanity to build community.

6. Make the Community Feel Special, Offer Something

We welcome business members to offer specials and unique opportunities to community members. These can be posted any time you like. Be creative with this. Don’t bribe people with a “Food for posts” but offer something real and from the heart. We are all people who want to be cared for and seen. Members of our communities provide a lot of help to both businesses and incoming expats. Say thank you by:

  • Offering 10% off on for group members during a day you are normally slow.
  • Offer a free (cola, dessert, etc.) to the next 10 members that come by your business and spend —— won or more.
  • Invite them to a special tasting event for new menu items.
  • Post a poll about something you need to know and enter their name in a raffle.

7: Host community-building events and invite the community to come!

We allow businesses to post information for special events any day of the week. Events are huge community builders and we love them!! Keep those event posts coming.

  • Need community members to create a league of some sort? Post it.
  • Have an event coming up that socially benefits others in some way? Post it.

GENERAL RULES

Other than that we have some other recommendations and rules:

  • Keep it fun or funny
  • Keep it fresh
  • Keep it interesting
  • Keep in positive (No trying to bring anyone down)
  • Keep it community-focused

Русская информация

3. Делайте пост только каждый Понедельник

Сообщество South of Seoul отлично работает с принципом Бизнес Понедельники! Посты только один раз в неделю создают допустимую текучку информации и помогают делать другие дни более благоприятными и приятными для постов индивидуальных людей и сообществ.

В прошлом мы видели группы заполненные бизнесами, но South of Seoul видит это как развал а не решение. Вместо этого, мы нашли способ дающий нам возможность оставаться живыми и жить счастливо вместе с подрастающими сообществами. Конечно, бизнесы должны следить за правилами групп для того чтобы быть балансированными с сообществом.

4. Keep Your Content Interesting

Если бизнес всегда будет делиться одинаковыми постами с одинаковыми фото каждую неделю, мы начнем их удалять. Почему мы это делаем? Чтобы защитить самих бизнесов. Наше сообщество очень активное. Если люди будут видеть один и тот же пост в течении 12недель подряд то они 1)уже перестанут заботится об этом 2) начнут раздражаться- обе плохо влияют на бизнес. Мы вступаем и стараемся защитить людей от самих себя.

5. Отвечайте на вопросы Сообщества

Отличный способ чтобы улучшить отношения с клиентами это предоставление информации в сообщество. Предлагайте информацию и ответы на вопросы не связанные с бизнесом. Демонстрируйте сочувствие и человечество для того чтобы построить сообщество.

6. Дайте Сообществу почувствовать себя особенным, Предлагайте что нибудь

Мы поддерживаем членов бизнеса предлагать предложения и уникальные возможности для членов сообщества. Эти предложения могут быть опубликованы в любое время. Будьте креативными с этим. Не берите взятку как “еда за пост”, предложите что-нибудь реальное и от всего сердца. Мы все люди которые хотят быть в заботе и быть увиденными. Члены нашего сообщества предоставляют очень много помощи для обоих бизнесов и клиентов. Скажите спасибо такими способами как:

  • Предложение скидки в 10% для членов группы в дни когда вы обычно не заняты
  • Предложите бесплатный напиток(колу, десерты итд.) следующим 10 посетителям и потратившим ——-вона или больше
  • Пригласите их на специальное мероприятие для пробы вашего нового меню
  • Опубликуйте опрос о том о чем вы должны узнать и введите их имя в розыгрыше

These types of business posts can be shared any day of the week! ( Эти виды постов могут быть опубликованы в любой день недели.)

7. Проводите мероприятия для создания сообществ и пригласите сообщество прийти!

We allow businesses to post information for special events any day of the week. Events are huge community builders and we love them!! Keep those event posts coming.

  • Need community members to create a league of some sort? Post it.
