Dear Ms. Bennett,
       The University of Kentucky Student Activities Board (SAB) has flocked to a new
virtual sphere where they tweet and FaceTime 24/7, in dorms, on sidewalks, in
restaurants, and any time of the day with net savvy students.
       The Internet capability and availability for students has increased substantially
and opened a new venue for marketing and promotion. Because SAB has an inherent
responsibility to be responsible in the administration of student-funded finances, enrich
students’ lives, and reflect their diverse interests, it was advantageous to explore the
potential of the utilization of social networking.
       The benefits of social networking, inclusive of it being inexpensive, the
convenience, the trendiness, and the student interest was researched was analyzed.
Surveys and questionnaires were conducted to ascertain the feasibility of utilizing social
media networking in promotional campaigns. SAB staff, advisors and faculty, after
reviewing the surveys and crunching numbers, collectively decided to adopt it as part of
its promotional campaigns.
       This new implementation of social networking by SAB is providing inexpensive
and very effective promotional strategies for their sponsored events and activates. Social
networking using platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Youtube, have been
instrumental in successfully connecting with UK students. This connection has generated
interest and resulted in an increased attendance at SAB sponsored events. SAB has
determined that social networking has been a successful promotional strategy and intends
to continue its utilization for future promotion campaigns.
Sincerely,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                       SAB Utilizes Social Media for Promotions



Lexington, KY (Dec. 14, 2012)- A mouse and a click transports students to a virtual

highway where they can transverse lanes of information. Because of the convenience and

the accessibility of the Internet, University of Kentucky Student Activities Board (SAB)

has decided to make interaction easier for all students anywhere an Internet connection is

available.

        SAB has initiated a new strategy of connecting with the student body. Students

have the opportunity to view all the SAB sponsored activities and it is not only

accommodating, but also effective, informative, and entertaining. Grace Hahn, a faculty

advisor and former member of SAB, is coordinating and supervising students in the new

endeavor.

        "We have opened a highway on the Internet,” said Hahn. “This will provide

students with an opportunity to decide their preference in regard to the proposed

activities."

        SAB began the strategy this fall in response to advanced technology and its

availability to an ever-increasing majority of the student body. The SAB promotions team

plans a reinvigoration of the promotion and marketing of events through the advanced

                                          -more-
technology available to students.

       "It is simple, we have the technology, the Internet, and we decided that we should

take advantage of it,” Emily Collier, director of public relations for SAB said. “The social

media promotions target a larger audience of students and proves to be cost-effective.”

       SAB has a long history of more than 70 years in the promotion of activities for the

enrichment of the student body. To continue the valued tradition of the events, it was an

inherent responsibility that new promotional efforts must be made.

       In the past, SAB has utilized promotions that are paper oriented, time consuming,

and sometimes inadequate in connecting with all of the students. The failure to connect

with students is reflected in the lack of interest generated and the low attendance of each

event and activity.

       “We have seen a decrease in interest and decline in attendance at some of the

most popular events,” said Hahn.

       By tracking attendance through event evaluation questionnaires, SAB confirms

the increasing necessity to reach students in innovative ways. Student responses recorded

in the questionnaires, reinforce the idea to build attendance, SAB needs to utilize the

Internet to promote events.

       “Questionnaires guide us in the direction the students want us to take,” said

Weston Dicken, director of marker research for SAB. “They speak and we listen.”

       For easy accessibility, students can simply click on the website and view all the

events. The improved social media allows students to coordinate their schedules with the

event by simply viewing the overall event calendar.

                                              -more-
In terms of financial benefits, SAB will be able to save substantial funds that

would have been utilized to purchase advertising materials, such as posters and handbills.

These savings can be reflected in more quality events and activities.

       “We’re lucky to have a substantial budget, funded through student fees,” said

Hahn. “We are always looking for new ways to improve the quality of our events and

saving money through social media allows us to do that.”

       The website can be designed with visual displays and affects to reflect the activity

or event in a manner that will best showcase it. This additional enhancement on posters

and handbills would constitute more financial investment, where as on the Internet

facilitated by the talents of the promotions team, it would incur no additional expense.

       In addition to the main website, SAB has established Twitter and Facebook

accounts as a means of promoting their activities and events. SAB is promoting these

social networking websites through contests under the guidelines, when the number of

"likes" reaches a certain milestone, a winner is chosen and is awarded a prize.

       "I am confident that this new strategy of utilizing the Internet will enable SAB to

move forward into an advanced technological era," said Collier.

       Before deciding to begin this new venture, SAB did an informal survey to

determine the availability of computers, smart phones, and E-Reader devices. It was

determined that more than 80 percent of University of Kentucky students had personal

Internet capability and those who did not, could access it through the library, friends, or

in computer labs.

       The survey was also utilized to determine the amount of time and how often

                                           -more-
students were surfing the Internet, specifically UK websites, Facebook, and Twitter. The

analysis of the survey supported the theory that social networking was a viable option as

a facilitator for the promotion of SAB events.

       “Students are busy, hurrying from class to activity, and no longer paying attention

to posters hanging in Whitehall or in the gym, but now they are spending all their free

time online,” said Collier.

       SAB is the first of many student organizations taking advantage of the upsurge of

social media promotions. Student Government, Center for Community Outreach, and

Alternative Spring Break are also incorporating some of SAB’s methods for promotions.

       “We strive to be at the head of the curve and we pride our reputation on being

cutting-edge on our promotions,” said Hahn.

       As SAB looks to the future of promotions for events, the question that remains is

not if they will promote, but how they will promote. Through continued research,

groundbreaking analysis, and personal investigation, SAB moves forward in the next

stage of technological advances without hesitation.

       “Don’t stop looking for SAB any time soon,” said Collier. “There’s always

something going on and there will always be a way for students to find out about it.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    Social Media is a new Promotional Phenomena


     Lexington, KY (Dec. 14, 2012)- An evolution has occurred in marketing and

promotion, and this can be attributed to the inception of social media. Technology has

made rapid advancements and the Internet has become available to most people, making

Social Media a new way to connect. Business, corporations, advertising firms, and

promotional agencies are becoming more aware of the options and benefits through the

utilization of Social Media.

  At the University of Kentucky, the Student Activities Board has expanded their

promotional plans to include Social Media. According to Emily Collier, Director of

Public Relations at the Student Activities Board (SAB), social media has proven to be a

great promotional strategy. Before SAB implemented social media in their promotional

plans, according to Collier, the staff researched, analyzed, brainstormed and then

developed a plan.

       To follow Collier’s advice, the first step in the successful utilization of social

media is planning. You need a road map or GPS (good planning strategy) so you won't

get lost. To make sure that your contents are presented in a unique manner with videos,

information graphics, and informational text, you have to decide on an appropriate

platform.

       Different platforms can be utilized in social media marketing. To be effective the

                                           -more-
unique environment of each must be considered when developing a technique for

utilization. Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube are some of most popular

social media platforms.

       Facebook is an interactive platform where people chat informally. Your brand

must create a Facebook Business Fan Page, and be aware that the visual aspect is key

with Facebook. By constructing a layout that gets attention while remaining consistent

with brand image, Facebook will provide your brand with a valuable marketing tool.

       Another interactive social marketing media tool is Twitter. It is a great tool

because it allows you to send instant tweets (messages) across the web. Remember to

garner traffic, these tweets should not only be about your brand, specials, updates, but

also entertaining, quirky, and fun. Twitter's focus is conservation and it is interactive so

always interact, answer tweets, or respond to compliments or criticism.

       Google is the next platform to consider where the atmosphere is casual. A Google

circle is also helpful, which allows you to block certain information from unfriendliness

and competitors, or create a super fan circle to offer exclusive discounts to some frequent

friendly users. Google Hangout provides your brand the option of hosting

videoconferences for expanding client or customer base, such as a how-to session or

video chats.

       Pinterest is a platform where the main marketing strategy is image not messaging.

Pinterest can be a beneficial tool in where your brand can showcase its product while

establishing a personality with its own pin boards. Pinterest is a valuable tool for retail

marketing utilizing images. Another social media imaging tool is YouTube.

                                           -more-
YouTube is video-centered and business find this social media platform to be

valuable in marketing brands through instructional "how to videos" or in describing their

brand. People are geared for visual advertising because of advancements in media

orientation so YouTube provides a way to connect with those who want information

presented in a quick, easy, and entertaining format.

       The factors that make Social Media Networking worthy of exploration and

eventually implementation are Internet capability to reach a larger audience, it being

inexpensive in its utilization, and the ease of developing an effective, appealing, and

memorable advertisement. These factors combined with the availability of Internet are all

conducive to Social Media as a vacillator for promotions and advertising.

       Several items must be considered in the process before implementation of social

media as a promotion tool. The first of which is content or brand image and commitment

to consistency in its portrayal. Your targeted audience should be able to identify your

company immediately, so make sure that the image projects your brand.

       After deciding on platform utilization, (which ones to incorporate in design), and

brand image, it is time to get the word out. The social marketing tool that is perfect for

this is a blog. The blog will allow your company to share information about the most

recent events including the implementation of social media. One of the best features of a

blog is that it allows your brand to brag about its benefits.

       Social media marketing is not the time to be shy. Your company needs to start

linking with other sources that contain relative or enjoyable information about your

                                           -more-
company. This will improve develop your reputation as being reliable and trust worthy.

Eventually your brand may even get some links in exchange. Other brands on the Internet

are constantly aware of what new brand is trending and if there is a threat.

       In social media marketing, as in all areas, always be vigil about competitors. If

they have better links or better techniques, copy but improve and stay ahead in the game.

To determine if your social media networking is successful, attach tracking tags to

campaigns so that they can be monitored.

       Collier was very satisfied with the utilization of social media as a promotional

strategy at the University of Kentucky SAB. Collier reiterated that the students are

enthused about how easy it is to connect with SAB and that there is a dramatic increase in

attendance during their sponsored events.

       This new strategy of promotion is inexpensive, easy to implement with a good

strategy plan. Several social media platforms are available, interactive, image focused,

and combinations there of, that can be implemented in the plan. Social media is here and

in order for a brand to be competitive, stay trendy, and succeed, it should be explored to

be implemented in future promotional plans.

                                            ###

  • 1. December 14, 2012 Katy Bennett Marketing Specialist University of Kentucky Public Relations and Marketing 1C Matthews Building Lexington, KY 40506-0047 Dear Ms. Bennett, The University of Kentucky Student Activities Board (SAB) has flocked to a new virtual sphere where they tweet and FaceTime 24/7, in dorms, on sidewalks, in restaurants, and any time of the day with net savvy students. The Internet capability and availability for students has increased substantially and opened a new venue for marketing and promotion. Because SAB has an inherent responsibility to be responsible in the administration of student-funded finances, enrich students’ lives, and reflect their diverse interests, it was advantageous to explore the potential of the utilization of social networking. The benefits of social networking, inclusive of it being inexpensive, the convenience, the trendiness, and the student interest was researched was analyzed. Surveys and questionnaires were conducted to ascertain the feasibility of utilizing social media networking in promotional campaigns. SAB staff, advisors and faculty, after reviewing the surveys and crunching numbers, collectively decided to adopt it as part of its promotional campaigns. This new implementation of social networking by SAB is providing inexpensive and very effective promotional strategies for their sponsored events and activates. Social networking using platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Youtube, have been instrumental in successfully connecting with UK students. This connection has generated interest and resulted in an increased attendance at SAB sponsored events. SAB has determined that social networking has been a successful promotional strategy and intends to continue its utilization for future promotion campaigns. Sincerely, Gabrielle Dudgeon
  • 2. ITP Feature Story 10/252012 Thursday Contact: Gabrielle Dudgeon FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAB Utilizes Social Media for Promotions Lexington, KY (Dec. 14, 2012)- A mouse and a click transports students to a virtual highway where they can transverse lanes of information. Because of the convenience and the accessibility of the Internet, University of Kentucky Student Activities Board (SAB) has decided to make interaction easier for all students anywhere an Internet connection is available. SAB has initiated a new strategy of connecting with the student body. Students have the opportunity to view all the SAB sponsored activities and it is not only accommodating, but also effective, informative, and entertaining. Grace Hahn, a faculty advisor and former member of SAB, is coordinating and supervising students in the new endeavor. "We have opened a highway on the Internet,” said Hahn. “This will provide students with an opportunity to decide their preference in regard to the proposed activities." SAB began the strategy this fall in response to advanced technology and its availability to an ever-increasing majority of the student body. The SAB promotions team plans a reinvigoration of the promotion and marketing of events through the advanced -more-
  • 3. technology available to students. "It is simple, we have the technology, the Internet, and we decided that we should take advantage of it,” Emily Collier, director of public relations for SAB said. “The social media promotions target a larger audience of students and proves to be cost-effective.” SAB has a long history of more than 70 years in the promotion of activities for the enrichment of the student body. To continue the valued tradition of the events, it was an inherent responsibility that new promotional efforts must be made. In the past, SAB has utilized promotions that are paper oriented, time consuming, and sometimes inadequate in connecting with all of the students. The failure to connect with students is reflected in the lack of interest generated and the low attendance of each event and activity. “We have seen a decrease in interest and decline in attendance at some of the most popular events,” said Hahn. By tracking attendance through event evaluation questionnaires, SAB confirms the increasing necessity to reach students in innovative ways. Student responses recorded in the questionnaires, reinforce the idea to build attendance, SAB needs to utilize the Internet to promote events. “Questionnaires guide us in the direction the students want us to take,” said Weston Dicken, director of marker research for SAB. “They speak and we listen.” For easy accessibility, students can simply click on the website and view all the events. The improved social media allows students to coordinate their schedules with the event by simply viewing the overall event calendar. -more-
  • 4. In terms of financial benefits, SAB will be able to save substantial funds that would have been utilized to purchase advertising materials, such as posters and handbills. These savings can be reflected in more quality events and activities. “We’re lucky to have a substantial budget, funded through student fees,” said Hahn. “We are always looking for new ways to improve the quality of our events and saving money through social media allows us to do that.” The website can be designed with visual displays and affects to reflect the activity or event in a manner that will best showcase it. This additional enhancement on posters and handbills would constitute more financial investment, where as on the Internet facilitated by the talents of the promotions team, it would incur no additional expense. In addition to the main website, SAB has established Twitter and Facebook accounts as a means of promoting their activities and events. SAB is promoting these social networking websites through contests under the guidelines, when the number of "likes" reaches a certain milestone, a winner is chosen and is awarded a prize. "I am confident that this new strategy of utilizing the Internet will enable SAB to move forward into an advanced technological era," said Collier. Before deciding to begin this new venture, SAB did an informal survey to determine the availability of computers, smart phones, and E-Reader devices. It was determined that more than 80 percent of University of Kentucky students had personal Internet capability and those who did not, could access it through the library, friends, or in computer labs. The survey was also utilized to determine the amount of time and how often -more-
  • 5. students were surfing the Internet, specifically UK websites, Facebook, and Twitter. The analysis of the survey supported the theory that social networking was a viable option as a facilitator for the promotion of SAB events. “Students are busy, hurrying from class to activity, and no longer paying attention to posters hanging in Whitehall or in the gym, but now they are spending all their free time online,” said Collier. SAB is the first of many student organizations taking advantage of the upsurge of social media promotions. Student Government, Center for Community Outreach, and Alternative Spring Break are also incorporating some of SAB’s methods for promotions. “We strive to be at the head of the curve and we pride our reputation on being cutting-edge on our promotions,” said Hahn. As SAB looks to the future of promotions for events, the question that remains is not if they will promote, but how they will promote. Through continued research, groundbreaking analysis, and personal investigation, SAB moves forward in the next stage of technological advances without hesitation. “Don’t stop looking for SAB any time soon,” said Collier. “There’s always something going on and there will always be a way for students to find out about it.” ###

  • 7. Service Journalism Article Contact: Gabrielle Dudgeon FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Social Media is a new Promotional Phenomena Lexington, KY (Dec. 14, 2012)- An evolution has occurred in marketing and promotion, and this can be attributed to the inception of social media. Technology has made rapid advancements and the Internet has become available to most people, making Social Media a new way to connect. Business, corporations, advertising firms, and promotional agencies are becoming more aware of the options and benefits through the utilization of Social Media. At the University of Kentucky, the Student Activities Board has expanded their promotional plans to include Social Media. According to Emily Collier, Director of Public Relations at the Student Activities Board (SAB), social media has proven to be a great promotional strategy. Before SAB implemented social media in their promotional plans, according to Collier, the staff researched, analyzed, brainstormed and then developed a plan. To follow Collier’s advice, the first step in the successful utilization of social media is planning. You need a road map or GPS (good planning strategy) so you won't get lost. To make sure that your contents are presented in a unique manner with videos, information graphics, and informational text, you have to decide on an appropriate platform. Different platforms can be utilized in social media marketing. To be effective the -more-
  • 8. unique environment of each must be considered when developing a technique for utilization. Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube are some of most popular social media platforms. Facebook is an interactive platform where people chat informally. Your brand must create a Facebook Business Fan Page, and be aware that the visual aspect is key with Facebook. By constructing a layout that gets attention while remaining consistent with brand image, Facebook will provide your brand with a valuable marketing tool. Another interactive social marketing media tool is Twitter. It is a great tool because it allows you to send instant tweets (messages) across the web. Remember to garner traffic, these tweets should not only be about your brand, specials, updates, but also entertaining, quirky, and fun. Twitter's focus is conservation and it is interactive so always interact, answer tweets, or respond to compliments or criticism. Google is the next platform to consider where the atmosphere is casual. A Google circle is also helpful, which allows you to block certain information from unfriendliness and competitors, or create a super fan circle to offer exclusive discounts to some frequent friendly users. Google Hangout provides your brand the option of hosting videoconferences for expanding client or customer base, such as a how-to session or video chats. Pinterest is a platform where the main marketing strategy is image not messaging. Pinterest can be a beneficial tool in where your brand can showcase its product while establishing a personality with its own pin boards. Pinterest is a valuable tool for retail marketing utilizing images. Another social media imaging tool is YouTube. -more-
  • 9. YouTube is video-centered and business find this social media platform to be valuable in marketing brands through instructional "how to videos" or in describing their brand. People are geared for visual advertising because of advancements in media orientation so YouTube provides a way to connect with those who want information presented in a quick, easy, and entertaining format. The factors that make Social Media Networking worthy of exploration and eventually implementation are Internet capability to reach a larger audience, it being inexpensive in its utilization, and the ease of developing an effective, appealing, and memorable advertisement. These factors combined with the availability of Internet are all conducive to Social Media as a vacillator for promotions and advertising. Several items must be considered in the process before implementation of social media as a promotion tool. The first of which is content or brand image and commitment to consistency in its portrayal. Your targeted audience should be able to identify your company immediately, so make sure that the image projects your brand. After deciding on platform utilization, (which ones to incorporate in design), and brand image, it is time to get the word out. The social marketing tool that is perfect for this is a blog. The blog will allow your company to share information about the most recent events including the implementation of social media. One of the best features of a blog is that it allows your brand to brag about its benefits. Social media marketing is not the time to be shy. Your company needs to start linking with other sources that contain relative or enjoyable information about your -more-
  • 10. company. This will improve develop your reputation as being reliable and trust worthy. Eventually your brand may even get some links in exchange. Other brands on the Internet are constantly aware of what new brand is trending and if there is a threat. In social media marketing, as in all areas, always be vigil about competitors. If they have better links or better techniques, copy but improve and stay ahead in the game. To determine if your social media networking is successful, attach tracking tags to campaigns so that they can be monitored. Collier was very satisfied with the utilization of social media as a promotional strategy at the University of Kentucky SAB. Collier reiterated that the students are enthused about how easy it is to connect with SAB and that there is a dramatic increase in attendance during their sponsored events. This new strategy of promotion is inexpensive, easy to implement with a good strategy plan. Several social media platforms are available, interactive, image focused, and combinations there of, that can be implemented in the plan. Social media is here and in order for a brand to be competitive, stay trendy, and succeed, it should be explored to be implemented in future promotional plans. ###
