Helping alumni club leaders and alumni relations professionals manage their local chapters
Hey Facebook Group users, you can now schedule posts! And that’s a good thing. Scheduling a post allows you to plan out some of your content in advance so you can keep the content flowing even when you’re too busy to do it manually.
As an alumni chapter leader, we’d always like to know what’s on the minds of our alumni. What kind of events they’d like to see, how they would like to be engaged with the University’s mission and so on. Since it isn’t possible to speak with everyone, surveys and polls can be useful tools to get this information.
If you use Facebook Group for your club’s social media channel then you may know that you don’t have some of the bells and whistles that Facebook’s Pages functionality has like allowing you to create a call to action button. Never fear! You can make your email sign up form available on your page.
Facebook will be investing in their platforms which help to bring people together. What does that really mean? If you have a Facebook Groups page, you’re about to get a few upgrades!
There are so many options when it comes to selecting the right social media platform(s) for your club and so little time to manage them all. That’s why the key is to pick the ones that make the most sense for your group. This is the 1st of four posts on using social media platforms to engage your alumni.
