"It's not enough to be satisfied that
your school is on Facebook,
students will make a judgment
about the university if it is not
current and responsive online.
When their post doesn't get
answered, they are not interested
anymore.”
- Nora Barnes, Director of the Center for Marketing Research

reuse across different channels
EG. A video can be shared on Pinterest,
Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Blog, YouTube
Consider how to get more by periodically
re-promoting your best content
Customize your posts for each channel
Don’t automate unless you really have to
Build a PLAN and a content calendar

Be Strategic
Who is the audience?
Is each audience unique?
Are they looking for something different?
What am I providing that has value?
Who will manage it?
Will they keep it up to date and apply best
practices?
Is there a policy for what they should/should
not respond to?
Who will govern it?

this?
