presence on Instagram, specifically (Instagram is my biggest platform, so I

18. 8: Social Media Policy
In today’s world, it seems like we spend more time interacting
with people online than we do in person. That being said, it’s
important to treat online environment much like you would treat
real-world interactions. To be sure I engage appropriately, I will
follow these simple guidelines:
Be compassionate and sympathetic
• Always kill people with kindness. The one’s who least
deserve it, sometimes need it most.
• Be respectful with the content I post
• Be polite, not rude or insensitive
• Be a friend and a role model, not a celebrity
• Be a shoulder to lean on
• Strive to inspire others
19. 9: Critical Response Plan
Scenario 1 – Inappropriate Instagram post sent accidentally on
@ThatPineappleGirl page
1. When I realize that I posted the wrong photo or that somebody
has taken my phone and posted the wrong photo:
1. Take screenshot
2. Delete Photo
2. I I accidentally posted it, make sure I reread my brand mission and
goals, and ensure that I will be way more cautious when using my
biggest social media platform.
3. If someone else has posted the photo using my phone, sit them
down and have a serious conversation, letting them know that what
they did was extremely unacceptable and put my brand at major risk.
4. If media has picked up the photo, immediately contact media
organizations to discuss options.

10: Measurement and Reporting Results
As of October 1, 2017
21. 10a: Measurement and Reporting Results
My Instagram following has grown 3k followers in the past 3 months, and my
engagement and reach also increased by 2k and 4k, respectively. I also upped my
posting to 7 times per week.
Although my Facebook page did not grow significantly, only a few hundred in
following, engagement, and reach, I believe it’s a step in the right direction. As I
continue to grow my main social media page, Instagram, I will continue to drive more
traffic towards my Facebook. I also upped my Facebook posting from 1 to 3 times per
week.
A key tactic to this growth was the increase in quality and quantity of content I
posted. I posted more regularly, and I made use of the Live Stream tool on my social
media, driving more conversation on my page. My use of music/lifestyle related
hashtags like the ones I mentioned earlier in this presentation helped tremendously
in driving traffic to my videos and photos.
I will continue to post more regularly, use Live Streaming, and use hashtags.
