Without further ado, here are 10 ways financial institutions can use social media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"men_tofc\">Table of Contents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"men_tofc wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#use-social-media-to-better-understand-your-market\">Use social media to better understand your market<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#track-trends-and-innovations\">Track trends and innovations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#identify-awareness-opportunities-before-the-competition\">Identify awareness opportunities before the competition<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#reach-your-audience\">Reach your audience<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#interact-with-your-audience\">Interact with your audience<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#share-content-with-your-audience\">Share content with your audience<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#leverage-influencer-marketing\">Leverage influencer marketing<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#provide-excellent-customer-service\">Provide excellent customer service<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#leverage-online-reviews\">Leverage online reviews<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#learn-from-your-competition\">Learn from your competition<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-social-media-to-better-understand-your-market\">1. Use social media to better understand your market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about using social media to learn about your audience is that people give unsolicited opinions. They speak their mind and share their thoughts candidly &#8211; this is the key to help any business to learn about themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They get to analyze their audience\u2019s challenges and goals without having to ask them directly or serve them time-consuming surveys and polls. What\u2019s more, we strongly believe here at Mention that you can only learn if you listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"track-trends-and-innovations\">2. Track trends and innovations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart financial brands are paving the way by being innovative in how they provide their services. This means that they invest heavily in transformational projects and technology. But this is the visible part of the iceberg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What financial institutions need to do, at first, is to identify key innovations to integrate to their ecosystem, to inspire the market, and to build and maintain trust. Nowadays, inspiration often starts with the ability to deliver a painless customer experience. For financial institutions, this also means mastering the latest technologies to guarantee that their clients are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a challenge that brick and mortar institutions face today when younger, innovative pure players completely disrupt the established industry. <strong>Using a monitoring tool, you could be alerted in real-time to stay on top of trends and topics that matter to you.<\/strong> Here\u2019s an example of an alert you could set up to keep an eye on the latest cybersecurity and data breach trends. To some extent, this could give you a significant advantage over your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"764\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-1024x764.jpg\" alt=\"Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation\" class=\"wp-image-37581 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-1536x1146.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-tool-alert-creation-1-2048x1528.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/764;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"identify-awareness-opportunities-before-the-competition\">3. Identify (and measure) awareness opportunities before the competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsoring events is one of the best ways to generate awareness around a brand, especially for FinTech brands. However, you need to make sure that you\u2019re investing your money in the right events, targeting the right audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to do it is to target those that your competitors have already sponsored in the past. Another way to do it is to measure the impact of events that could be of interest to you and analyze their online impact. Do they resonate with your values? Are they targeted at your core audience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a monitoring tool, <strong>you\u2019ll also be able to identify key events before your competition does<\/strong>, giving you a heads up to reach out and establish a relationship with the organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reach-your-audience\">4. Reach your audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing thousands of dollars in a TikTok promotional campaign just because it\u2019s trendy doesn\u2019t make sense if people don\u2019t care about what you have to say in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be where your audience is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, you can either spend a lot of time and investigate manually (and risk missing important data), or automate the process using a social listening tool. <strong>A social listening tool will help you to view your market as a whole and identify where the key conversations are happening<\/strong> \u2014 and, therefore, where you should be. What\u2019s more, you will never miss any relevant mention of your institutions, products, services, or competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"share-content-with-your-audience\">5. Share content with your audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know where your audiences are and what keeps them up at night, you can start sharing content that is relevant to them. A few examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Service updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temporary promotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry news<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corporate news<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fun facts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters is that you only share what matches your audience\u2019s needs and interests. If something is only of interest to you, it won\u2019t be valuable to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"interact-with-your-audience\">6. Interact with your audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media is a two-way street and you need to be interacting with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An IAB study (2013) revealed that 90% of consumers are likely to buy from a brand following a positive interaction on social media. Having regular interaction with your customers will have multiple beneficial effects on your institution including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Build an emotional connection:<\/strong> your clients trust you with their money. Given that changing banks, for example, has never been so easy, if you don\u2019t work on building stronger, human connections with your customers, they\u2019ll eventually leave you for another institution willing to do so. Having positive and regular interaction on social media with potential clients will put you on their radar and contribute to building long-lasting relationships with them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be seen as a thought leader:<\/strong> lastly, interacting with your community on social media will show that you care. Be helpful, transparent, and respond promptly, and you will score precious online reputation points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leverage-influencer-marketing\">7. Leverage influencer marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencers are social media content creators who are often dedicated to a niche market. They are usually compensated by money or other benefits to promote a brand. Many financial institutions are already leveraging influencer marketing. It\u2019s an efficient strategy to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Build trust and gain credibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out to new audiences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share engaging stories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"534\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leverage-influencer-marketing-example.jpg\" alt=\"leverage-influencer-marketing-example\" class=\"wp-image-37594 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leverage-influencer-marketing-example.jpg 830w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leverage-influencer-marketing-example-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leverage-influencer-marketing-example-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/leverage-influencer-marketing-example-312x200.jpg 312w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 830px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 830\/534;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, brands using it right see, on average, a 7 fold increase in their ROI. In 2019 alone, it\u2019s estimated that brands spent over 8 billion dollars to have influencers advertising their products and services online (it is predicted to reach $15B by 2022). Now, we believe here at Mention that bigger isn\u2019t always better. More often than not, working with smaller influencers is more interesting as they have more focused audiences. Besides, they often are more involved with and dedicated to the brands they work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"provide-excellent-customer-service\">8. Provide excellent customer service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Banks, payment and insurance companies need to appeal to all types of customers. Part of this implies to have a comprehensive strategy \u2014 especially on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like it or not, social media isn\u2019t just for chatting with friends anymore. People use it to talk with the brands and companies they use. For instance, 80% of Instagram active users say they follow brands on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For brands, it\u2019s a premium channel to reach out and share valuable information. On the other hand, it opens a new public complaints Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, this means that your institution needs to be aware of all key conversations, be available to answer customers, and stay connected around the clock, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial institutions cannot afford to make compromises when it comes to customer experience and satisfaction levels. They need to earn and keep the trust customers place in their brand and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge that brands of all types currently face is the digitalization of customer service. After all, everybody\u2019s now talking online &#8211; and some of those conversations could very well be about you. Here are two scenarios that brands meet most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leverage-online-reviews\">9. Leverage online reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.feefo.com\/hubfs\/Feefo_-_Online_Reviews_Report_-_FINAL_with_about.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">94% of consumers check online reviews before they decide to buy something or subscribe to a service.<\/a> They need what we call social proof. It says that the more people say they use your service, the more it will look like a good service. In short, you need to show how happy people are using your service. But not all online reviews are positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, we find that financial institutions shouldn\u2019t ignore negative reviews. Instead, they should take the bull by the horns and turn them to their advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always respond to relevant complaints (and as fast a possible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take responsibility for what happened<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be helpful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2026and ignore trolls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example from Bank of America:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. They are directly @mentioned on social media<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"540\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service.jpg\" alt=\"Bank of America customer service example\" class=\"wp-image-37584 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service.jpg 628w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service-300x258.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 628px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 628\/540;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In this situation, brands are obviously expected to answer &#8211; and as fast as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. They aren\u2019t directly @mentioned<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"445\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bank of America customer service example 2\" class=\"wp-image-37587 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service-2.jpg 627w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Finance-Campaign-bank-of-america-customer-service-2-300x213.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 627px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 627\/445;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>No one expected Bank of America to jump on this conversation in which they aren\u2019t even tagged. And yet, they did. Chances are that, just like Bank of America, there are whole conversations taking place on social media about your brand, with nobody tagging you directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you identify posts like these today? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some situations, people will talk about your institution in conversations that have little value for your brand. In other cases, they will ask for your immediate help or, worse, start rants about your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By identifying these messages and acting quickly on it, you will potentially turn angry whistleblowers into loyal customers and, therefore, increase your retention rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, it all comes down to one thing: being able to provide the best service possible to keep your customers happy and prevent them from knocking on your competitors\u2019 doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learn-from-your-competition\">10. Use social media to learn from your competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last two decades, a marketer\u2019s daily life has greatly evolved. Most importantly, we now can measure everything we do, including the consequences of our actions on our business. Having said that, you can\u2019t evaluate how well you\u2019re doing without comparing against others. Truth is that 77% of businesses rely on social listening to keep an eye on their competitors. What this means is that 4 in 5 of your direct competitors are likely watching each and every single step you take. And you should do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd\" id=\"hs-cta-5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/1896803\/5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img lazyload\" id=\"hs-cta-img-5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/1896803\/5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd.png\" alt=\"Guide to Social Media Management for Financial Institutions\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(1896803, '5b73ac1f-bd0a-40d4-8c25-ad8049cbf4fd', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over to you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital transformation for companies is no easy task, especially when it comes to traditional industries like finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for finance companies to create a winning social media strategy, they must include social listening into their arsenal.
