Editor's Notes
- “I” sitestalk about themselves and connect with friends, and social media web sites such as Flickr, wikipedia, and YouTube where individuals cluster together because of shared interests in content. Now explore how you can use them at your museum. You will learn what audiences use these sites, how other museums are using them, and ideas about how you can or should use these web sites to support your mission - considering your limited resources and IT support.
- Like any good presentation, we’re going to discuss the 5 W’s what (goals), why (results), who (audience), where – well that is BEING THERE where the audience is, and how social media tools can help you engage your audiences and how other museums are using them. What I won’t cover is the When. That is for you to decide based on your abilities to do this.I’ve given you a copy of a Museum Social Media Strategic Planning Worksheet. The worksheet provides the some of the concepts and examples I’ll speak about today. It is meant as a tool for you to write down your brilliant ideas today as you listen to this presentation, and to use it later when thinking through your social media communications plan.The worksheet is based in part on information provided at WeAreMedia.org, a community of people from nonprofits who are interested in learning and teaching about social media strategies and tools.
- What are we trying to do? Big ShiftFrom speaking to mass audiences as the institution about programs, exhibits and collections …To speaking with niche audiences as the attraction, about their experiences. Andlistening the same way.

- What are we trying to do? This is the most important component of a good plan and needs to be as specific as possible. Goals: Your goal is not your mission. Your goal is what you want to change. Make sure this is an appropriate goal for a social media strategy. Results: A good way to determine if our goal is specific enough is to chart how we will measure our progress.
- Indicate Audience Size<17 not as active probably because txting .. But twitter growth is on the rise18-34 – sweet spot is Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube35+ 1/3 of social media media traffic is adults50+ Inside Facebook April 09: now about 1.5 million female users older than 55 on the site – roughly a 550 percent increase over six months ago.
