CHRISTELLE- talk about the different aspects of Twitter (likes, retweets, hashtags, followers, tagging a person/company). Also, touch upon the types of tweets there are, here’s a link regarding this: http://dashburst.com/types-of-tweets/
CHRISTELLE – these are the tweets that companies PAY for. They show up as “promoted tweets” and are targeted toward a specific demographic or toward people who like/tweet something specific. For example, Pepsi may choose to promote their tweet to people who use the hashtag #soda.
CHRISTELLE – watch the video and summarize before/explain why this was beneficial to loves. (They realized that a lot of people in their target didn’t have a car, so this was a way to get them involved with the brand) Here’s a link to an article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haTHa_M9pJY
CHRISTELLE – explain why these tweets aren’t good!
CHRISTELLEEstablish your brand voice and keep it consistentPost things that people will retweet or likeOnly use meaningful hashtags, don’t use them on every word… it’s annoying.Make sure that your audience is engaged. If they ask you a question or tweet something at you – make sure to respond!Using social media is pointless if you aren’t creating business with it. Always lead back to the source of the $$$$
LISA – overview of Instagram capabilities (like, comment, follow, hashtag, tag users). How are companies using Instagram?
LISA – Michael Kors was the first company to promote an Instagram photo. These are the photos that companies PAY for. They show up as “promoted” and are targeted toward a specific demographic or toward people who like/post about something specific. The TJMaxx photo is not paid for but it shows the hashtag #maxxinista that I know you are talking about.
LISA - Many companies have done campaigns similar to this Ford one. Watch the video so you can talk about it with the class.
This makes your instagram more engaging and lighthearted and means you’re more likely to retain followers. But be sure to make posts relevant to your brand and brand values.Following your followers back creates a closer relationship, you never know, you could learn from them!Creating photo contests gets users engaged. Using a unique hashtag spreads awareness for your business and makes it easy to find submissions. Use FB to promote the contest.Using videos is a great way to create interesting content, but don’t use them too often.
