C – connect with an audience based on their
values
R - reward your audience
A - ask for a specific action to get that reward
M - make it memorable
15. What is your conversation policy?
“We are no longer the Mission
Control of our message.
Our supporters are building
their own centers of control.
When they talk about us, act on
our behalf, or
increasingly, raise money for
us, they are creating millions
of message outposts for our
mission online.”

Editor's Notes
There are lots of ways to engage social media. We’re going to focus on the biggest social media tools and try to make them easy and approachable.
A Facebook ‘like’ is the beginning of a relationship, not the end goal. Someone likes you on Facebook, they’ve just agreed to have coffee with you. What kind of conversation will you have in order to get them to agree to a second date? Would you talk about yourself the whole time?
Caveat emptor - Beware promises of instant success. Relationships take time.
Do you have a social media strategy, or did you just create a facebook page because you felt like you had to?Seriously, do you have a written document detailing your social media strategy?Our strategy includes what you see on the screen, plus a commitment to respond to every interaction.
Two rules: 1. Who you are online should match your offline persona and communications.
Rule 2. Focus on what you can handle and do well at. Don’t try to be all things to all people.Marion-Polk Food Share has chosen to work on just a few social media platforms
