Social Media– it is a must have in anyone’s advertising toolbox. It is the place where people stay connected and find out what is going on in the world and what is happening in their local community. The perfect place for clubs to advertise what Toastmasters has to offer.
This year our goal is to grow our clubs and expose as many people as possible to Toastmasters. What better way then with Social Media. Some may think taking on Social Media is a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Just try one social media platform and go from there. One place to start is either Facebook or Instagram. These social media platforms give you the opportunity to show what makes your club unique in the form of personalized pictures. People are more likely to visit your club if they see who is a part of it. As they are able to better relate to the club. Facebook is also a great way that you can keep your members up to date with member achievements and more with a Facebook group.
Don’t forget about local online newspapers or event calendars. They are a great way to post upcoming events and meetings to the local community. More well known places are Snapd, Eventbrite or Meetup. If you are looking for possible guests in the professional realm why not try creating a LinkedIn Page. Here you are able to find people who are looking to improve their skills and excel in the work place and Toastmasters has the resources to do it.
Having all these social media sites are just the beginning. Now that you know where to advertise your club, what do you say on them? Knowing what type of club you have and who your intended audience will be is essential to attracting people to your club. Toastmasters is all about getting out of your comfort zone and embracing new opportunities. Here is your chance to embrace the endless possibilities of Social Media. Take a chance and watch your club grow with new guests and members. The more we use Social Media the more people know about one of the greatest programs in existence, Toastmasters.
