DJ Waldow's presentation at the 2010 eduWEB Conference. Universities have a potential audience of thousands at their fingertips. The hardest part is finding the best way to reach that audience, from getting their attention to encouraging them to take action. Enter email and social media. When used effectively together, email and social media can extend your reach, grow your audience, and pinpoint influential brand ambassadors. Students, prospective students, alumni — audience members of all ages - are using their social network of choice whether it’s email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or LinkedIn. How exactly can higher education marketers make the most of these channels? It all starts with community, content, and a killer campaign strategy. Attendees will learn: • Why email marketing is relevant to higher ed institutions and why it’s considered the digital glue of social media • How to integrate email & social media (the tactical, low-hanging fruit)• Strategies for using email & social media as complementary channels• How to optimize content to encourage sharing• Strategies for effectively building an online community using email and social media• Ways to incorporate email & social into your communication strategy with real world higher ed examplesFor more Blue Sky Factory presentations/webinars, please see http://www.blueskyfactory.com/webinars/
