Week 8 Post 2: Timing and Hashtags on Instagram

-
This week I concentrated and a few topics to keep the interest of my followers. Posting between 7am-11am or 4pm-7pm, I receive the most action on my posts. I believe this is because in the middle of the day people are enjoying their family or working. Capturing their attention when they are relaxing before bed or right when they wake up might be what is best for my Social Media pages. I have been alternating when I post (evening or morning) between our Facebook and Instagram. I also try to post different things (even though I know you can link it to post the same. I believe this keeps our followers interested.

 Togetherness

 I posted a group shot of our membership that was taken at our annual photo. This photo would have been taken this week for 2020. Many of our Hotel Concierge members have been laid off or put on furlough while we try to flatten the curve. Our hotels have closed and we are loosing hope in our industry. Posting this picture and stating that we can't wait to meet again, may encourage some to lift their spirits. I also added that they are in out thoughts... they are.

 Education

 San Diego Concierge Association is all about continuing our education. A personal development opportunity came across my email from Hilton Worldwide. I decided to share this wonderful educational moment with our membership and anyone in the hospitality field. Florida Atlantic University was offering an online certificate course in Hospitality & Tourism Management at no charge!
Hashtags used: none. This opportunity was limited so I didn't want to bring too much attention, just letting our membership and followers know. We had majority of our members join the certificate program. The university was expecting 20,000 sign ups... they received over 60,000! 

 Memories

 Monday I wanted to show color and a location on our feed. This month 3 years ago we were planning our largest event of the year, the Partners in Tourism Trade show. This event draws in over 450 people from the hospitality field in San Diego and Orange County. One of our locations was the monumental USS Midway Museum in the San Diego Embarcadero. I was able to quickly search my Google photos for this month, over many years. When these pictures were shown on my screen, I know they were perfect. They really paint a feel of San Diego and have clean blue skies... which we are missing this week!

Week 14 Post 2: Class Experience

-
CSIT 155 Class Experience Before this class I thought I had rhythm and a good idea of timing for my posts on social media and promotions. Then Covid 19 happened. People were looking on Social Media different times and literally all day long. I had felt that I couldn't post anything, because nothing was happening! I had been so focused on the now and didn't think outside of the box. Analytics have shown the the facts are in the numbers! Our Facebook account has been active for many years, well before I took over management of it 2 years ago. As a volunteer on a board of directors I just needed to report how many followers we had each month at our meeting. The primary focus before was to post pictures of us. I always thought... boring! Followers need to see a mix of pictures, videos, shared content, etc. Class has helped me create a color palate and uniformity to my posts. I want visitors to visit and say, oh that looks amazing. I can now, with the statistics, see when peopl...

Week 5 Post 1: Facebook Insights

-
Facebook Insights Post Reach and Post Engagement are both crucial to build a well rounding Social Media presence on Facebook. Post Reach keeps track of the unique number of people who saw your content post. If someone returns multiple times, they would only count as one. Post Engagement is the number of people being active in your post. The engagement would count the comments, likes, clicking into a link and even when sharing content. It is important to start your fan base with Reach. When you are trying to gain followers and likes to your page it is key to post articles, pictures or exciting interacting questions that will be seen. When someone likes what they see, they are more likely to have it pop up in their news feed. Once you capture that follower, you can start to work on engagement. Post Engagement actions will help build your relationships with your customers. This also builds loyalty with your company brand, in turn creates more views! You and your business page can us...
