IF YOU MISSED OUR LAST MEETING...
Make sure to check out our google community for handouts on engaging with your online audience, working with Artober Partners to expand your reach, and how to build your audience in new, fun ways.
Schedule Ahead - the most common question asked about social is “how do I do the most with the least amount of time?” I’d say shift that focus and go ahead and capture as much as content as possible ahead of time and schedule it into a platform.
Find Your Rhythm- sometimes it’s difficult to think about what you want to say, when you want to say it. But if you have a cadence for when and what you are posting, it can lessen the anxiety. Consider: Monday motivation (or musings), Share talent Tuesday, Wednesday Wisdom, Throwback Thursday OR think about industry news; staff, partner or volunteer spotlights; and sprinkle in some kitty’s.
Curate - you can curate some of the great things that already exist on social, instead of constantly creating new content. Share what others are saying, especially if it fits into your rhythm. Just don’t forget to give the original poster some love by tagging them.
Don't Just Talk, Listen Too - on social media, everyone is sharing so much about themselves. To cut through the noise, aggregate who you want to listen to by creating specific lists and by following hashtags that are relevant to your organization.
Make it Simple for Your partners - use the partner guide to help you share the exact information your partners will need to share your messaging. Give the highlights and share links for digital assets. (And send us that information -- we'll post about the great things you are working on for Artober).
Metro Arts has free giveaways to support your Artober Nashville event - including window clings for box office windows, stickers to bribe good behavior from school groups, and banners to add a little extra signage to your event. Contact shaina.strom@nashville.com for more information.
