1 Why automation and personalization matter

Automation and personalization are two key elements of effective social media customer service. Automation can help you save time, reduce errors, and handle high volumes of inquiries. Personalization can help you build trust, rapport, and loyalty with your customers. However, automation and personalization are not mutually exclusive. You can use them together to create a seamless and satisfying customer experience.

Before any automation is put in place, the target audience has to be researched first. What language do they speak in and what questions are they most likely to ask? Automation can certainly help productivity and help people to make better decisions quicker, but the user must not feel like they're in a machine-led process.

Everyone has heard, 'good organizations have a brand, great organizations have a personality'. You give your organization a character by auditing your brand and voice, and developing a content and style guide that manages how you want to be presented (how you want to sound, look, feel, etc.), provides information on why and how to convey this personality, and maintain this voice and look throughout your content. Your chatbot or other automated tools should reflect this voice and brand, and that can make them seem much more personalized and much more engaging.

2 How to automate your social media customer service

The first step to automate your social media customer service is to identify the common and repetitive tasks that you can delegate to a software or a bot. For example, you can use a chatbot to greet your customers, answer FAQs, provide basic information, and collect feedback. You can also use a tool to schedule your posts, monitor your mentions, and generate reports. However, automation is not a substitute for human interaction. You should always have a backup plan to escalate complex or sensitive issues to a real person.

Giving the bot or customer service program a personality that matches your brand and voice can make automation seem less so and dramatically improve engagement. Don't make automated features obnoxious and/or not useful. Don't have your bot chase people all over your website, interrupt their experience, and/or be annoying - it should be there waiting when they need something and then, it should be easy to use and easy to get rid of, and it shouldn't take more than a single request to get a real person.

3 How to personalize your social media customer service

The second step to personalize your social media customer service is to understand your customers and their needs, preferences, and emotions. You can use data and analytics to segment your audience, create buyer personas, and tailor your messages accordingly. You can also use social listening and sentiment analysis to track your customers' feedback, opinions, and moods. However, personalization is not a one-size-fits-all solution. You should always respect your customers' privacy, preferences, and boundaries.

As an organization, you need to figure out the personality of your brand and make sure it is reflected throughout your organization. Are you fun, witty, and brilliant? Or, are you serious, straightforward, and smart? Understanding your customers and your market, sectors, industries, competitors, and employees is essential. Take time to discover and assess your unique brand and how it fits into the greater market - competitive analyses, differentiation studies, client reviews, employee engagement, etc. Then, once you have an understanding of who the market thinks you are - is that who you want to be? Is that holding you back or helping you?

4 How to balance automation and personalization

The third step to balance automation and personalization is to find the right mix and timing for each situation and customer. You can use automation to handle the simple and routine tasks, and personalization to handle the complex and emotional tasks. You can also use automation to initiate the conversation, and personalization to continue and close the conversation. However, balancing automation and personalization is not a static or fixed process. You should always test, measure, and optimize your strategy based on your goals and feedback.

5 How to measure your social media customer service performance

The fourth step to measure your social media customer service performance is to define and track the relevant metrics and indicators that reflect your objectives and outcomes. For example, you can use response time, resolution rate, customer satisfaction, retention, and advocacy to evaluate your efficiency, quality, and impact. You can also use qualitative feedback, reviews, and testimonials to assess your reputation, trust, and loyalty. However, measuring your social media customer service performance is not a one-off or isolated activity. You should always benchmark, compare, and improve your results based on your industry standards and best practices.

6 How to learn from your social media customer service examples

The fifth step to learn from your social media customer service examples is to identify and analyze the successful and unsuccessful cases that showcase your automation and personalization skills. For example, you can use case studies, stories, and screenshots to illustrate how you solved a problem, exceeded an expectation, or created a memorable moment for your customers. You can also use mistakes, complaints, and crises to demonstrate how you apologized, compensated, or recovered from a negative situation. However, learning from your social media customer service examples is not a passive or individual activity. You should always share, celebrate, and learn from your team and peers.
