For

ttrraaiinniinngg,
social
media
is
both
a
blessing
and
a
curse.
On
one
hand,
it
makes
networking
easier,
providing
additional
tools
for
the
chamber
to
connect
with
its
membership.
On
the
other
hand,
those
same
tools
enable
potential
members
to
make
those
connections
on
their
own—without
the
chamber—much
more
easily
than
they
could
have
just
five
or
ten
years
ago.
When
used
correctly,
social
media
can
make
membership
in
the
chamber
of
commerce

What’s
the
trick
to
making
this
happen?
According
to
Frank
J.
Kenny,
a
social
media
expert
who
frequently
speaks
to
chambers
and
their
members,
the
chamber’s
social
media
efforts
must
be
primarily

This
makes
members
feel

and
shows
that
the
organization
cares
about
their
success.

in
the
U.S.,
the
staff
at
OOnnlliinneeMMBBAAppaaggee..ccoomm,
didn’t
evaluate
the
content
of
the
messages
being
put
out.
That
would
have
been
much
too
time-‐consuming.
Instead,
we
relied
on
numbers.
We
searched
the
most
popular
social
media
sites
and
recorded
the
number
of
followers,
likes,
pins,
etc.
for
around
550
chambers
of
commerce
that
met
our
minimum
requirements
for
consideration.
The
formula
we
used
to
compute
the
final
scores
was
designed
to
give
the
most
weight
to
the
social
media
platforms
that
were
most
frequently
used
by
the
chambers
on
our
list.

Social Media at Your Chamber: How Are You Doing?
There
are
thousands
of
chambers
throughout
the
country,
so
not
making
this
list
doesn’t
mean
you’re
doing
anything
wrong.
There
is
always
room
for
improvement,
but
that
doesn’t
mean
you
should
rush
out
and
set
up
new
accounts
without
any
sort
of
plan.
That
sort
of
thing
leads
to
a
string
of
abandoned
accounts
that
don’t
do
anyone
any
good.
First,
decide
what
type
of
stories
or
content
you’d
like
to
share.
Then,
determine
which
platform
is
the
best
ﬁt.
Make
sure
you
know
who
will
be
responsible
for
posting
content,
who
will
monitor
the
account
and
respond
to
comments
or
questions,
and
how
you
will
measure
the
success
of
your
social
media
strategy.
By
having
a
goal
in
mind
from
the
beginning,
you’ll
be
able
to
see
what’s
working
and
what’s
not
and
make
adjustments
as
needed.
Note:
Please
let
us
know
if
you
notice
any
errors
so
we
can
make
corrections
as
needed.
