Notes de l'éditeur
- INTRODUCTIONSWhy are attending this session? We’d like to get a few responses on this…How many of you have had these thoughts about social media?It’s just a fad…It’s for consumer brands…We have more important things to focus on…We don’t have the resources...We don’t need social media to survive. You are not alone.
- If you think your college controls your message, you need to think again. Both your message and your brand are being controlled by your students and the general public. Not you. You have to be part of the dialogue to preserve and build your brand.
- How many colleges are engaged in social media?How many presidents are engaged in social media? Facebook? Twitter? Blogs?
- Social media is any online communication technology that allows individuals to interact with one another – often related to common interests, such as your colleges or higher education. It includes text, audio, video – any shared communications. We’d like to share a video to provide a better understanding the power of social media.
- Social media is many-to-many communication by individuals who share common interests Social media gives every participant an outlet to be heard in an online community they feel comfortable in. One of those common interests could be the education and training they seek from higher education.
- There’s a ton of social media platforms out there, but we’ll focus on just a few…
- Let’s take a quick look at five major social media platforms most commonly used by businesses and colleges...
- Social media is everywhere… Who is out there and what are they doing?The key message here is that four generations are using social media, which aligns closely with our student population.
- Here’s just a quick look at the growth of social media use by organizations…
- And here are the social media platforms most commonly used by organizations…
- You need to be part of the discussion online. You need to know who your friends are, and be able to identify when you have enemies so you can diffuse negative discussion about you. Pete Cashmore, editor of Mashable (a key information portal for social media services), suggests that your friends may become content curators for your consumption, filtering information such as movies, books and television shows and making recommendations for your leisure time online. The content of Websites can now be tailored to readers’ preferences, as defined by the preferences of their social networks and soon the web you see when you go online may be one that was shaped by dominant preferences in your social networks.
- Why wait? A common excuse for not engaging in social media is that it’s a fad. You can’t afford not to get into social media because it’s not going away. These are new major communication tools and this is how your brand is being discussed.
- No matter what social networking site you use there are a few ground rules that are very different from traditional media. Social media entrepreneur Peter Shankman spoke to NCMPR members last month and presented us with 4 Social Media Rules: Be Transparent 2. Be Relevant 3. Learn to Write 4. Top of Mind-make it about them At least half of what is discussed should be light, fun and frivilous, but it has to be about them in order to engage them.
- Here’s an example of how messaging moves through social media channels.The bullets on the left are what you want to be doing in social media and the flow chart on the right is how you should be doing it. This is all about developing relationships. You need to be useful and you need to be transparent.
- Barb Dreger will now show us how her college is using the various social media channels to engage the public in discussion, diffuse negative commentary and build brand value.
- We’re fortunate that we have a strong network within NCMPR to find our way through the social networking realm. NCMPR continues to grow as a result of valuable programming on topics like this (Summer Institute) If your institution isn’t already involved with NCMPR, we hope you’ll take a moment to stop by the booth and learn about the many benefits of being associated with this amazing organization. It has been an invaluable resource for me.At this time we are happy to answer any questions …Thank you!
- Hopefully, your view of social media has changed. How many of you feel your perceptions have changed?
