Before we begin…
What’s on your mind concerning Social Media/Interactive?

RCRG Social Media/Interactive
Why Bother?
•Imagine there are 100,000 people standing on your porch•All talking to each other•Barely listening to the person to them,
This is where we are RIGHT NOW as media professionals
EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM MUST HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT! YOU CANNOT SELL A PRODUCT UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND IT (AT
LEAST THE FUNDAMENTALS) You cannot contribute in a meaningful way unless you are part of the
community.

In Social Media…
customers becomefriends
Top Four Reasons for using Facebook
Possibly the ONLY reasons for RCRG to create and maintain this product.
• 1) Increase Occasions for listening/Ratings - Programming• 2) Engage Customers – Programming/Promotions
– Comments, Shares, Links = Engagement! • 3) Generate Revenue - Sales• 4) Generate Hits Back to Station Sites
The Rules of Three (33%-33%-33%)
• Programming• Increase in Friends/Followers• Importance of Engagement (talking about/sharing)
• Promotions
• Events, before and after! • Marketing/Sales
• (legal) Revenue Opportunities
Avoiding Invisibility
Only 1% of your fans go to our Facebook Pages
• For WQMX that is 160 out of nearly 16,000• For WONE it’s 70 of nearly 7,000If a fan does not comment or share your post you will be chopped. Goal: Staying on Fan’s newsfeeds
The BEST posts are NOT about US, They are
about THEM! What MATTERS to our Friends
enough for them to SHARE with their Friends?
Can our Friends create a STORY From our Posts?
Who Am I?
Best Practices!Content – What should our posts be ABOUT?
• 33% ‒ of posts should be PROGRAMMING/PROMOTIONS/STATION RELATED – “Tune in in 5 minutes for your chance to win Bon Jovi Tickets
• 33% - Format/Music/Artist/Concerts/Reviews – Sandra’s Daily Buzz features Alice Cooper! Listen on WONE and (just to
make it easy) click here! • 33% - ENGAGEMENT! Intended to generate shares and likes
– News updates, funny photos, celebrity birthdays, Open ended questions, asks for opinions.
In a Perfect World, EVERY POST has a picture. If you don’t have a picture, find one*
*One more thing about Pictures: Source The Image! YOU ARE REPRESENTING THE STATION AND RCRG - Same standard as on air
in terms of content/language/visuals/gestures
• DO Sourcing: give credit where credit is due (don’t steal) • DO Keep posts SHORT • DO Link back to our websites• DO Think about relevancy – does it matter? • DON’T EVER Post Political/Religious views (save them for your
personal page)• DON’T Post personal stuff
Best Practices Cont.
Mistakes That Prevent Peoplefrom Sharing
1. Talking about yourself – being exclusionary2. Being too edgy or offensive3. Being too obscure or niche4. Asking for likes5. Posting too frequently6. Not posting Images7. Posting Images with too much Text
Images with Text
Images using more than 20% test of the image. Will not be approved for paid promotions by FB. And there is a good reason:
They’re annoying.
why friends shareWIFM
(What’s In it For Me)
• 68% share as an advertisement for themselves, to give others a better sense of who they are
• 73% say it helps them find people with common interests. • 75% say sharing helps them better understand and “process”
news they’re interested in • 85% say the responses they get from posting and sharing
provide more thought. i.e. make better decisions • 94% consider how helpful a link would be to another user
before posting it
Shareability: What the post does to people:
• GIVE: Benefits Adding to the Dream• ADVISE: Tips; Relationships; Health; Money• WARN: LOOK OUT! • AMUSE: Be Funny! • INSPIRE: Inspirational quotes • AMAZE: Amazing pictures or facts • UNITE: Enhance the Tribe! Rah! Rah!
Enough is Enough (Not Enough is an invitation to exit)
Promotion and Sales Minimum of Three Posts a day1 Sales (Max) Post –No Added ValueThere are sales/promotions guidelines that need to be recognized
2 Promotions Programming
Minimum of 3, ideally at least one per daypart
Contests
• To do contests ON Facebook, you MUST use a third party vendor, such as Woobox (WNWV has had success with this), at $30/mnth, built into a client cost. Stations should, if possible do a Woobox LIKE driving campaign a minimum of 4x per year to drive followers– Must be paired with a client that has a certain threshold of
followers already on FB– Client MUST agree to post on their page as well, or there is
no benefit for station
