Your Social Media presence doesn't need to stop because you are spending time on the beach and enjoying the summer break. With a little advance planning and scheduling your audience won’t even realise that you are on holiday.
It is so easy to book all your social posts in advance. You won't even need a third party app for most platforms - but they can be useful for streamlining your messaging across your social media accounts.
Facebook also has a great feature called Response Assistant, which lets you programme an automatic reply to any private messages your page receives. This means you keep your displayed business ‘response rate’ high even if you aren't checking your Facebook page.
If social media is a big part of your customer support you may want to designate a staff member or employ a VA to monitor it over the break, and respond to urgent comments and questions.
Awesome Apps: SproutSocial, Hootsuite, Future Tweets and Buffer.
