What’s Your Redemptive Metaphor?
Engaging current audience
We asked people who liked our
Facebook page or follow on Twitter
to post up images of their own
metaphor of redemption on
Instagram using the hashtag
#FallingPlates. Wasn’t engaged a
ton, but has potential.
Discovering new people
Instagram proved to be more
valuable in finding people already
talking about #FP. We were able
to thank them and encourage
them to share more.
This kid publicly professed to starting to follow
Jesus on Instagram. The new “walking the aisle”?
Someone posted this up that they saw it in a
Staples office supply store. We would have never
known this or been able to engage user if we
weren’t watching and listening to this channel.
