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.
Holding game watches around your school’s sports team can be a great way to meet alumni in informal, fun settings. It’s usually not too difficult to get a good following at your game watches if your school is nationally known for one its teams. However if you’re a small school or in the same state as your school, you can face some challenges in growing your attendance. Let’s take a look at some ways that you can get a strong showing at your club’s game watches.
A cool feature that most of the main social media websites have is the ability to share your post on another one of your other pages. This can be great for making your content go a little farther and to allow your followers on your other social media accounts to see the same content.
Like most alumni club leaders, you want to get maximum benefit any time you communicate with your alumni. But when you have a Facebook page, Twitter page, Instagram account, LinkedIn page and so on, WHEN do you find time to update them all? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve I’d like to share with you to make posting to all these social media accounts a little less time consuming.
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!
