W2W: Conquering
communication and the great
(gender) divide
Social Media Messaging & Targeting
Aja J. Williams
Role of social media
Brand Messages
• There are a number of
ways to communicate a
specific message to
people.
• Emails
• Newsletters
• Phone Calls
• Flyers/Posters
• Text Messaging
Extend Your
Messaging
Choosing all or 1 platform?
• Social media is an extension of your messaging, but
what platform works best for you?
• Who is your audience? (Younger, older, more affluent,
etc.) Where is that audience?
• What is it that you’re intending to do?
• When starting out, start out slow, choose one and
learn how to do it well before moving to the next
one.
So what now?
So what now?
• Let people know about a social media
account.
• Include it in all of your other messaging.
• Then use it!
• Post about the day
• Share news and information
• Interact
• Don’t forget to respond
• Capitalize on popular hashtags relevant to you
Avoid the #fail
Avoid the #fail
• Be mindful of what you’re posting
• Pay attention to trending topics
• Don’t automate your social media
• Don’t force it
Pay to play
• Social media is increasingly becoming more about
pay to play. They want your money to reach the
people you want to reach.
• If it’s an affordable option, it allows you to target the
people you want to reach.
• However, just because it’s targeted doesn’t mean
people will respond.
Last thoughts
• Social media is all about the connection and
engagement.
• Be Human!
• If timing of social media becomes an issue, think of
a volunteer or an intern.
• Remember to play to the strengths of the social
media platform, which will be your greatest asset in
reaching more people.
