Here are 4 tips that can help you manage your school's social media:

1. Service framework: Avoid improvising when answering messages; you can have a bank of questions and possible generic answers that will help you respond.
   Another idea is to create a “flowchart” style framework, mapping out a path of the questions and the answers that correspond to each question.
   
   
2. Communication style: Whether your school communicates without technical jargon, very formally, or in a super relaxed way, reflect this in your messages, although we recommend trying to adapt to simple, friendly language.
   
   
3. Creativity: This is your moment to use the catchphrases you have in your language when communicating in person, whether it's a word that represents you or some abbreviations, and don't forget emojis; remember that they can help you give context to digital communication.
   
   
4. Contingency plan: Mistakes are super common, from spelling errors to messages that can't be understood or designs that don't match your brand identity manual.
   You need to know how to act in the face of any mistake; if the mistake turned into something fun within your community, take advantage of it. Remember that we learn from mistakes.
