But it’s not enough to throw out the occasional tweet or an Instagram story. You need an ad plan focusing on a specific target audience, as well as a way to track your progress.

The district retail manager wears a lot of hats — manager, sales associate, customer service representative, mentor, social media manager, boss, disciplinarian, website editor, etc. — and they can make all the difference in the stores they oversee, creating a better working environment that elevates the team, the company, and the sales.

One of the rules of retail is that the customer is always right — even when they’re technically wrong. Your customers are the reason that you’re in business, so it’s important to listen to them when they have a complaint. And those complaints happen in all shapes and sizes in every single business.

Dealing with customer complaints takes a certain amount of tact and sensitivity, and ignoring the bad that comes along with the good can not only hurt your bottom line, but also your reputation.

As an eSeller, you’re always looking for ways to maximize your marketing dollars. Social media can provide a powerful return on investment for eSellers looking to leverage the latest platforms, techniques and strategies.

Every business, no matter the industry, is going to have the occasional unhappy customer, and most customer complaints can be settled quickly and efficiently through a phone call or email. But the situation becomes increasingly complicated if the customer isn’t satisfied with your resolution and they leave negative feedback about your business online.

Establishing a reputation management strategy before a problem occurs allows you to effectively respond to complaints without having to worry about how they will impact your bottom line.
