WHAT’S IN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLBOX?
HERE ARE SOME TOOLKIT’S I’VE USED AND WORKED!
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social Media is all around us. Now a days a regular
website is not enough to gain exposure on the web.
Different social media sites help drive traffic to
your websites and help increase awarness of what
is happening with your company.
Facebook: Can create groups and fan pages.
Twitter: One liner quotes to feed out fast
information. Search engine friendly.
Myspace: A great way to connect to those
who are fans, but not on other social media sites.
Great way to reach the younger audience.
Linkedin: Professional network for groups.
An area for employees and sponsors to be
more involved and other professionals to provide
feedback.
Flckr: Helps store multiple photos in one place and
uploads quickly.
Upcoming: Calendar site that can be linked to all of
the other social media pages.
• A variety of social media sites help distribute information about events, promotions, tickets and sponsorship.
• Helps both clients and fans to stay informed with the latest information.
• On each of these sites you would be able to highlight games, tickets, sponsors and promotional events.
In this presentation I have attached other examples of how social media has helped
increased communication and awareness with the past events I have been involved with.
R3FESTIVAL.COM
A small group and The La Pine Parks and
Recreation board members helped organize a first
year music festival to help bring more activities to
the city of La Pine and community awarness to put
the Parks and Recreation on the ballot to start earn-
ing a tax base.
Following social sites used:
Myspace.com/r3festival
On the myspace page you can easily view
pictures and blogs of recap from the festival.
42 local bands from the Pacific Northwest
participated and more than 500 people
came to the festival in the two days combined.
Plus a handful of volunteers and community
members help support to put on the festival
as well.
• Primary source of advertising was using myspace to help keep bands informed and spreading the word about the festival.
• The myspace was also a great source on finding and communicating with bands to play at the festival.
• Radio, newspaper and a primary website advertising was also used to help promote the event as well.
The event did break even and no direct profit of money was made to give to the La Pine Parks and Recreation.
They did receive a lot of kudos and free publicity to help raise awarness. They did achieve their goal to get on
the ballot for the tax base to help keep the receration center going for the community.

Along with the AIGA board members and myself as
