and not…
Impersonal Controlled One-sided Exclusive Structured
What’s with this whole social media business?
A good social media strategy will guide you in selecting…
media channelspeople to engage
conversations to join
A Social Strategy …hmm Sounds Familiar
Think of it in terms of having a conversation. The key to any good conversation begins and ends your ability and willingness to LISTEN.
What Tools Do You Use Now?
Websites Direct Mail E-mail Newsletters Phone campaigns Member outreach
Listening Mentions of your
organization Industry sites Selected News sites The blogging world Other organizations
like yours
What you might learn..
Better understanding of your brand New online communities you should join People you should engage Organizational values you should promote Attitudes you might have to change
Ask yourself…
What sites have the most activity related to my organization?
What kind of people do the most posting? What other organizations and issues are
these people connected to? What opinions exist about my organization
(positive or negative)?
Things to Consider
Size and technical experience of staff Volunteer base (long-term vs short term) Time staff and volunteer members can/are
willing to devote to social media Content already produced that can be
used on social media sites
This keeps your strategy..
Realistic Manageable Achievable Efficient And not the source of frustration and
staff discontent
Think backwards
Go where the people are online You don’t have to always create on your
own
NACUBO found sites already existed on LinkedIn and Facebook without our knowledge
Key Member Engagement Concepts
See who I am
See what I like
See who else is like me
Give me something special
What Do You Want to Achieve?
Relationships? Awareness? Increased web traffic? More members? Call to action? Donations/sponsorships?
Is it Measurable?
Relationships? (numbers of people) Awareness? (comments and links) Increased web traffic? (web stats) More members? (numbers) Call to action? (response rates) Donations/sponsorships? ($$$)
A Few Simple Rules Transparency is Important Be Conversational – a blog or forum post is not an
annual report. Stick To What You Know
Organizational issues that position you as an expert Try to add knowledge rather than opinions
Mistakes Happen! – Deal with them and move on. Embrace the Malcontents
It is a chance to turn critics into supporters Be courteous and understanding in responses
