Personally, my family will be out and about most of the month of June, so I thought this would be a perfect piece for all of you other marketers out there wondering how to manage the chores of marketing \u2013 plus keep it seamless like you never left. Shall we begin?<\/p>\n<h2>How to Keep Your Social Media Marketing Going During Vacation<\/h2>\n<h3>Choose Your Social Media Marketing Methods<\/h3>\n<p>So, first things first, you need to decide how you are going to handle this being-out-of-town business. There are a few methods. If you work inside a smaller agency there may be someone there who doesn\u2019t have a family or just chooses to keep working through the holiday vacation season, or perhaps you have an intern to delegate to. Or &#8230; maybe you work from home because you are the owner and operator, and when you go on a vacation the world comes to an almost complete stop! I know some of you are thinking \u201cVacation? WHAT vacation!\u201d I get it \u2013\u00a0but think about that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alicegwalton\/2016\/12\/23\/want-mental-health-for-the-holidays-take-a-break-from-facebook-study-says\/?sh=9353dc85ce6e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work-life balance<\/a>, OK?<\/p>\n<p>So, whatever position you are in, let\u2019s figure out what method you\u2019ll be using to take care of business while you\u2019re AFK (away from keyboard).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Managing Social Media in an Agency<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_24303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24303\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Roxanne Social Media 2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-2-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ESB Basic\/shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>So, you work in an agency. Ask someone to step in to double-check everything for you while you\u2019re away. Set it up like this: You\u2019re going to get everything scheduled for them. You\u2019re going to write the blog and set the posts to go out using your favorite method (native scheduling, Buffer, HootSuite, TweetDeck, etc.), but you\u2019re going to ask your new best friend to check on any questions or comments that may come in while you\u2019re gone, so there\u2019s no hitch in your giddy-up.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure this person knows the parties to contact in case of an\u00a0emergency, such as a question they can\u2019t answer or a very displeased customer. If it\u2019s you, then it\u2019s you. If it\u2019s someone else, be sure both parties are aware that you will be unavailable and resolution is in their hands.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Interns<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_24304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24304\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-3-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Roxanne Social Media 3\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-3-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-3-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">fizkes\/shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you have interns or an intern at your disposal, use them for these tasks. Same as above: you control the content by scheduling ahead of time, and make sure your intern is very aware that they must check on any notifications that come in. Also as above, be sure you have spelled out \u201cin case of emergency\u201d contacts. Make sure they understand that an emergency does not mean any question that comes through if it\u2019s one they can answer themselves!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Social Media Management for the Single Business Owner<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_24305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24305\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-4.jpg\" alt=\"Roxanne Social Media 4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Roxanne-Social-Media-4-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monkey Business Images\/shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re a business owner that either 1) has employees that are also going on vacation or 2) has no employees, then this is a question that only you can answer.<\/p>\n<p>What is right for your brand? If no one can be the man behind the scenes while you\u2019re away, then the question becomes do you 1) post something letting everyone know that your business will be closing for a short time while you are taking an awesome vacation, or 2) take the hit during your vacation and be sure to check in even while you\u2019re away, \u00a0or 3) partner up with another marketer that does what you do, <strong>that you trust<\/strong>, and ask them to manage the work (if they can) while you\u2019re away? And always, always let your client(s) know, as transparency is an important part of trust.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">What this Social Media Marketer Does<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I am a one-man shop, single business owner, and I have decided that for my brand, if I don\u2019t have someone inside of the client\u2019s team that can take over while I\u2019m away (like in the scenarios above), I send a nice message to the client and let them know I will be away, and that I can schedule some content, but will be unable to stay abreast of any questions or communications that come from that content \u2013\u00a0or I can simply abstain from posting for a short time, and it is their choice.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time clients understand \u2013 it\u2019s great that we are all human, right? Most have no problem having me schedule things, and addressing or answering anything that comes through until my return. Others tell me to simply hold off and have a nice trip!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">How to Choose What to Do<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The trickiest part about this choice is that 1) it\u2019s definitely about your brand and 2) it\u2019s definitely about your customers.<\/p>\n<p>See, if you choose your customers poorly, or if your customers are simply in no mood for this vacation nonsense, then you may have to make those sacrifices. I choose to make sure that my customers understand I have a family, and my family will always come first. Before their business, before their money, before my business. My family is more important, and I\u2019ve never had a client disagree with me or have an issue with me taking time away.<\/p>\n<p>The choice is yours and depends on the options you have available, but just remember, time away is important to everyone\u2019s health, and you should never feel bad for taking a!
