WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA

​

 

Social media is web-based communication tools that are designed to allow people to share content quickly, efficiently, and in real-time.

 

Some suggestions to make your interaction on social media/website effective

 

  1. Make your message “short and sweet”.
  2. Be very active on your social media or you will lose your followers.
  3. Focus message on who you are trying to influence and not about you.
  4. Engage your audience to comment on your social media postings.
  5. Use a very catchy image to attract attention.
  6. You must always be aware of your brand and put your “best foot forward”.  Your message should always have a positive tone.
  7. Remember to keep your website current, relevant and interesting.

WHAT IS E-BLASTS

​

 

E-blasts are a District A16 Lions distribution list for Lion’s emails.  The email goes to all District A16 Cabinet members including Cabinet Chairs, District A16 Honourary Committee members, the President and Secretary of all A16 District Lions Clubs, and the Leo Advisors.  A new database is created each year once the District A16 Directory is developed.

 

Each Lions Club should have determined which person in their club would forward the eblasts to their club members in a timely fashion.

 

It is an efficient tool to have message sent out to all our members in District A16.

 

Remember this is just one tool in your marketing plan to get your information out.  Other tools such as website updates, social media, A16 calendar submission should also be used to get total coverage of your information.
