Is your school embracing social media in 2018?

By Creativeworld

20 Feb 2018

Another year has passed and what a year it was for social media. The question is though, is 2018 the year your institution embraces Social?

Why be on Social Media?

We’ve covered it before, there’s plenty of reasons to be on there from connecting with students or parents, engaging in conversation around your sector or involving your audience. However, what is stopping you from embracing it?

The Stats:

In case you’re thinking that social media isn’t the place for your institution and maybe even thinking ‘my audience isn’t there’. Here are just a few stats that may convince you otherwise:

There are 3.03 billion active Social Media users Social Media users grew by 121 million between Q2 2017 and Q3 2017 (that’s a new Social Media user every 15 seconds). Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp handle 60 billion messages a day 22% of the world’s total population uses Facebook There are 500 million Tweets sent each day. That’s 6,000 Tweets every second 77% of Twitter users feel more positive about a brand when their Tweet has been replied to There are 800 million Monthly Active Users on Instagram So how can this relate to my School?

When it comes to referring to ‘brands’ on social media, you need to start thinking of your institution as a brand and how traditional advertising methods are changing. With this in mind, how is your school keeping up to date with parents, students and stakeholders? You may have a school website which features a blog, but how does your audience know about your blog? When are they going to know there’s news on the school site? How are you going to draw in new students on open days? Through SMART social media advertising.
