TIPS FOR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL MARKETING

When considering social media as a marketing tool for your personal brand or that of your business, remember thatthe Internet is forever. You cannot delete inappropriate material and hope that it goes way, so you need to be proactive rather than reactive. Here, Rosemin Manji gives her three tips for a positive and productive digital footprint.

1. STRATEGIC ONLINE RELEASE OF YOUR MATERIAL
"Social media is a great tool to express yourself and give the client a visual glimpse in your world. I rarely post immediately. I usually take time to find a photo I want to share with the world. I never rush to upload. Always ask yourself, "Does this photo reflect me? Whatmessageam I sending?'"

2. USE YOUR ONLINE INFLUENCE TO SUPPORT CAUSES
"I do a lot of work with breast cancer awareness and social media has allowed me to share my message of the benefits of early detection as my mom is a survivor. Most recently, Ralph Lauren and I teamed up for an event where I hosted the Ralph Lauren Ricky World Tour for my VIPs, and Ralph Lauren generously donated to Pink Caravan charity."

3. ESTABLISH GUIDELINES FOR ONLINE MATERIAL
“我与高净值客户和贵宾the way I present myselfis very important and I do consider myself a brand. I mean my name is on my company -Rosemin Ratanshi & Co otherwise known asRR&Co.- so brands are investing in me to represent them in best way possible. I have made a conscious choice to keep my family away from social media; I want to separate that part of my life and keep my private life private. I don't want holiday photos of me in a swimsuit to appear online, nor do I want personal family photos or intimate and special memories. Remember that not everyone wants to be in the media or have their images up for public display, so be considerate as well."
