Is there space for Spaces? (are Audio Chat Rooms all they’re cracked up to be?)

Hitting the social, customer care sweet spot in retail
Physical retail stores are some of hardest hit businesses with the coronavirus lockdown restrictions. As 2021 continues to be ‘anything but normal’, we wanted to share five practical tips to help retailers maximize social customer care, to support operational efficiency.
Was 2020 just tactical firefighting on social media? (and why a social media framework is the fix)
In the face of widespread change and disruption, most businesses had to adapt how they worked in 2020. For social media teams this often meant focusing time on tactical communications instead of delivering against strategic plans. In 2021 strong social media frameworks will be the key for helping teams navigate the new normal without feeling like everything is reactive firefighting.
