Why Facebook? • Allows us to reach our intended audience very specifically. (i.e., 17 – 24 years old MSU students) • They don’t have to come to us in order to see the message. (Even if students are not our Facebook Fans, they will be exposed to the message) • Synergistic and complimentary to “ground” campaign. • Resources, time and staff expertise . • Cost: 1 newspaper ad = 1 month of Facebook ads. • Strengthens social collaboration and networking.
How We Use Facebook • Generate enthusiasm for new campaign products being released. • Provide information about the campaign and when events and/or give-aways will occur. • Provide information about other events and opportunities on campus. • Support school pride and cultivate affiliation. • Publically recognize our social collaborators. • Expand social norms messaging. • Let students know we like them and think highly of them. We are worth each others social time.
