Six ways to say Thank You with Social Media

Who should you have thanked today?

A heart-felt “Thank You” means a great deal to the receiver. Even more so when you can make that Thank You a public mini-testimonial for the person you're appreciating. So here's six ways to say those two special words:

  1. Send an unsolicited testimonial on LinkedIn. This will be a permanent thank you that your colleague can display with pride on their profile. Remember to make it meaningful. Be specific in what they did for you, and the effect it had. Consider using the STAR format: Describe the Situation or Task, then the Action they took, then the Results this action delivered.

  2. Send a “Thank You” tweet through Twitter, and again, be specific about what they did, as this will help their followers understand how they can add value to their work. It will introduce them to your followers, too.

New social media courses and dates announced

Reach Further are pleased to announce a raft of new course dates coming up in the next few months. As well as the hugely popular LinkedIn and Twitter courses, there are courses to help with blogging and all aspects of social media.
