3 What is Social Media Marketing? Opens doors for organizations to increase their brand awareness and facilitate conversations with the customer. Provides an organization with direct feedback from their customers and targeted markets. Contains content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. Uses Web 2.0 technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. It is a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access.

Talk to their Web Content and/Infrastructure Coordinator, Step 3. Along with their Web Content/Infrastructure Coordinator, meet with OEA (Kay) and present a business need for the use of the site.

6 Marketing a Successful Social Media Web Site Create new content that serves your customer base. Continually interact with the people you want to reach. Include material that is truly relevant to the people you are trying to interact with. Dedicate people and resources to create products (i.e., story-based articles, fact sheets, audio and video). Create a site that is friendly, engaging in content and style and approachable. Make it easy for people to get the information they need.

7 Search - Finding information through keyword search. Links - Connects information together into a meaningful information ecosystem using the model of the Web, and provides low-barrier social tools. Authoring - The ability to create and update content leads to the collaborative work of many rather than just a few web authors. In wikis, users may extend, undo and redo each other's work. In blogs, posts and the comments of individuals build up over time. Tags - Categorization of content by users adding "tags" - short, usually one-word descriptions - to facilitate searching, without dependence on pre-made categories. Widgets and Extensions - Software that makes the Web an application platform as well as a document server (i.e., software like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash player, Microsoft Silverlight, ActiveX, Oracle Java, Quicktime, Windows Media, etc.) Alerts and Signals-Using syndication technology - RSS to notify users of content changes. Key Web 2.0 Application Features A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community.

Include a link to your page or Facebook event. Reach out to specific individuals who may be connected to your event topic. Use Facebook to create a destination for engagement.

13 Twitter Use Twitter to generate publicity and allow your attendees to connect more fluidly. Create an event hashtag and promote it. Designate the hashtag early in the process to claim your space. Publicize the hashtag in advance across all channels - your registration page, website, and in every single Twitter post. Promote it repeatedly - in signage, printed programs, and from the stage. Get every tweet about your event to contain your hashtag. The hashtag will aggregate all Twitter conversation around the event and help attendees connect and spread the word. Create a Twitter profile. Use a personal profile to promote your event. Include a human touch - attendees might like to see the face behind the event and connect directly with you as the organizer. Create a dedicated Twitter profile. Share event information as it unfolds to engage attendees. Reach out to stakeholders and people with influence to help spread the word.

15 Summary Choose a social media strategy with frequent postings. Develop a simple word-based website. Use a dot gov address whenever possible. Build your social media presence within the framework of an older, existing site. Have a content approval process that works quickly and efficiently. Add outreach and marketing material frequently. Post items based on target audience needs. Make it easy to locate (create and post categories at the top of your site). Post material in a variety of formats (audio, video, fact sheets, and story-based articles). Place your content on Facebook, Twitter, authorized professional collaboration sites (or sites that cater to your audience). Create fact sheets on key topics based on user requests.
