Engagement Rate
Quarterly engagement rates have
been performing extremely well.
Between Q3 and Q4, we grew our
follower base. The drop in
engagement rate in Q4 is natural
in periods of follower growth and
was also impacted by the annual
year-end holiday season.
Our annual engagement rate
average of 0.88% is significantly
above average when comparing
against industry averages of well
known nonprofit organizations who
collectively average 0.44%.

39. Video continues to be king. Even if we have still images, we should consider how we can give it movement.
- Action: Develop more GIFs and videos, as they continue to resonate well. This will be complimented by
the release of “Testimonial” content.
Our boosted posts are top performers, driving engagement and follower growth at minimal cost.
- Action: Increase boosted posts, identifying more opportunities to extend the reach of our content.
Themed toolkits are working. There’s been a marked uptick in engagement and reach, and it broadens our
follower base.
Social is a critical driver to the website and for enrollment (currently 20% of website traffic comes from social).
Getting “Social” - Twitter’s engagement rate is an example of lack of latitude in community engagement on
platform.
Set annual benchmarks based on goals for 2019.
