Fall Week 14

Over this past week, we have been wrapping up this semester as it comes to a close. Our Facebook page is seeing much improvement, I believe the class helping with sharing and liking the posts has really given them a boost. Our thanksgiving animation was able to reach over 700 people! That is crazy compared to our past posts. And already with the start of this week, our Monday post reached over 300 people. So it seems as long as I keep up the schedule for when the class needs to share/like, that our page will see increases across the board. I am thinking about also using the next animation on Instagram also, I'll have to work with it and see what I can do. Over the holiday break I plan to continue research with social media. I recently read an article by Working Films, called "Maximizing a Film's Outreach with Social Media." This was an interesting read, though dated a little bit (MySpace was included), but it discussed using a website and also the beneficial apspects of social media and blogs. These tools can be used to create a following over time, and I felt that this could relate to Visions. On another note, I will be assisting Zoe with the op-Ed piece and giving it final editing for publishing. Zoe and I will also be meeting near the end of the week to work on our manual updates. We've learned so much this year and feel that we can greatly improve the marketing manual for next years group.
