In September 2009, the VMCF started “listening” to how our community of supporters were following the VMCF online.
We had thewildersideofhealth, a webpage, were using Constant Contact and a flickr page, but didn’t really know how users were interacting with the content on website. We also knew that there were a lot of other ways out there to reach out and engage our donor base that we weren’t using.
B2B Social Media marketing was a developing field, and hospitals/non-profits were just starting to jump on the bus. Chris was identified as an innovator early on, so it seemed like a natural fit to explore how to fit our mission and unique messaging brand in to the world of Social Media
To help guide our efforts, we developed a set of goals and intended outcomes for a social media pilot.
Essentially, we wanted to “listen in” to how users were interfacing with our content
Expand our outreach based on our new understanding
And bring the who’s-who with us along for the ride
While Twitter is a great thing to Chirp on, we learned through Thewilderside that users respond really well to primary source information, especially when it is about them!
Enter VMCF Lifelines in February. We based the design and content idea on our former paper newsletter, Lifelines. Essentially, our blog is our REAL TIME Newsletter. Why wait?
The content is streamed to our .org, new content is posted multiple times each week featuring dynamic content, and whenever something is posted that is new, Tweet tweet, facebook, etc.
Facebook acts in similar way to twitter, but allows for more dynamic content. In just 6 months, we already have 401 fans of the VMC Foundation. Outside of our website, this is the main way that our demographic is accessing info on the VMC Foundation.
We are currently using this as a community bulletin board.
Twitter is the bellwether for real-time media messaging
From a business perspective It is an important way to link everyone to your mission through multi-media content snippets. It may be useful to you to think about Twitter as being the interesting everyday chatter you hear around lunchtime.
“I read this article, I spoke with so and so today and she said this, oh, andy groggel is so funny”
It gives those who are interested, mostly community/national org’s/influencers a way to listen into what we see as important.
87 followers
This is how users interact
Lets dig a little deeper into the numbers
These are very preliminary numbers, but
Visitor overview: our usage peaks are smoothing out, which indicates that the people who are visiting our .org are doing so more regularly, most likely due to the consistently updating content.
Where are people viewing our information from? OVERWHELMINGLY from County servers. This leaves a huge area for improvement on outside resourcing.
Facebook: shows demographics
