Day 16: Monday July 8th 9am to 5pm
After sending some emails, finishing EITC packets, working on a project for the Young Leaders Board, and sending postcards to new members, Courtney, Ellen, and I had a meeting about social media. During this meeting, we talked about the best way to manage our social media outs, collect content, and organize that content. It was definitely a pretty stressful meeting. Ellen pushed me very hard to figure out the best way to layout the Communications Calendar and make it easy enough for other employees to understand and contribute to. On Wednesday, I spent much of the day putting this together.
Day 17: Wednesday July 10th 9am to 5pm
We ended up coming up with one Excel document, with several tabs. The first of which is the summary sheet. This has the dates running across the top and events and topics down the left side. Blocks of color are used to indicate on what date a specific topic or event should be promoted. The rest of the tabs are for the Constant Contact email, Twitter, Facebook, and the website. I had the liberty of setting up the Twitter and Facebook tabs.
On each tab the weeks are listed with the number of blank spaces for the amount of posts that should occur that week. Across the top are columns for date, time, topic, copy, graphics, and links. This basically keeps all of the information for each post organized and in one place. The Twitter and Facebook tabs look very similar.
We also decided in this meeting to start utilizing HootSuite more. This allows someone to spend one chunk of time per week to post all of the social media content and schedule it to come out when desired. It's really a great website to use for social media for an organization.
