The Four C’s of Social Media
Content Consistency
Customization Community
• Content is king

• Don’t contribute to noise
• Consistency is better than rare moments of greatness
• Do not start and stop
• Posting/engaging should occur daily
• Customization is necessary
• Set yourself apart
• Community is success
• Identify your audience
• Build your community
… but what if no one is seeing it?
Content is king
Organic Reach Stats
Only 33% of Americans have followed a brand on social media
Facebook: Fan reach has dropped to 6.51% per post
Twitter: Organically reach 30% of your Followers in a given week
Pinterest: The average number of Repins is only 10
Content Lifecycle
We believe in making our content work overtime. We work overtime to give it our all, so why should we expect any less? The following outlines FSC Interactive’sapproach to the content lifecycle:
Start with an authentic glimpse of something unique to New Orleans that FSC team members catch while out on the street creating content.
Publish that photo on FSC partners’ websites to generate fresh, relevant content, excellent links, and boosted SEO.
Seek conversations and opportunities to share and interact with existing or potential community members to provide information and serve as a resource for New Orleans Tourism.
Post to Facebook or other social channels as relevant to the persona to encourage engagement.
Post to Pinterest, linking back to a website in order to drive traffic to the site, increase inbound links, and encourage sharing.
Provide the photo to our paid and earned media partners (360i and Search Influence) to spread the content to additional outlets.
