Facebook, Twitter, You Tube Oh My!
Social Media
• There are a plethora of social media platforms now in existence
• No single person or organisation can be on all of them
• Each is different and engages people in different ways
Social Media to the Rescue!
← please excuse the grammatical error!
Social Media
• The challenge for businesses, including NFPs is to know what platforms your “customers” and potential “customers” are using and…
• … which platforms you should invest in to provide the greatest level of engagement with your brand
