10 SOCIAL MEDIA TIPS FOR RADIO STATIONS
1. You're an entertainer – show it! If your social media personality comes
across as boring, lame and "not getting it," people will associate your on-air
show and station with that same lameness.
2. Provide benefits, not commercials. Things people like: Download here,
Read this..., Post links, Post videos, Front row tickets in 10
minutes, Conversation starters - "How do you pack your kids for
camp?," Check out this contest online, Go here for free samples, Meet us
tomorrow @ ______ from 2pm-4pm - We'll have free _____.
3. Social media is a two-way street. Have a conversation with your listeners.
Pay attention to what people say. Reciprocate, respond, comment - like
their photos
4. Make it easy for your listeners to find you! Use your station website to link
them to your social media sites.
5. Don't let social media overwhelm your main job. What comes out of the
speakers should always come first!
6. Think about the content on your social media sites like you think about the
content on-air or on your station website.
7. Avoid liners/radio speak (not everything translates well to a 140-
character conversation). How you "read" it on the radio may be different
than how you "write" it in a social media post.
8. There is a difference between your personal page and your fan page. The
best rule of thumb is not to mix the two.
9. The content of your page must match the personality of the station
overall.
10. Make sure your social media sites are gateways back to radio’s core
audio content, rather than a distracting parallel activity.
