More about online audiences
![Page 10: Social Media Marketing Tools and Strategies for Master Gardener coordinators](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5556d019d8b42abb428b56c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why should we care?
• “Cooperative Extension will continue to keep its
local community ties, but has and will continue to
grow an online presence. Cooperative
Extension’s online presence is not
a replacement for our local, face-to-face
contacts, but rather a way to build, maintain, and
strengthen these relationships.”
– Anne Adrian, Auburn University

Other considerations

news about your MG program (plant sales,
garden tours, other events)?

that are being used by your clientele.
