Activities 3/29-4/5

  • Emailed Jennifer Follis about possibility of posting on her compass page about our platform and making an in class announcement (awaiting response)
  • I made a qualtrics survey to test certain tweets and see how people feel about them. Here is the link: https://mediaillinois.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0d3UtNHqVJq4gp7
  • Checked the Facebook page’s activity. While the page visits went down. The reach and number engaged increased by over 250% and we got 20 more likes.

  • Final goal ideas
    • For our ultimate goal at the end of the semester, I feel as if our main issue is that some people do not do their tweets and the pages aren’t as popular as expected. While it takes time for social medias to pick up and it has been over the weeks, we do need to reach more. We should push more announcements rather than just posters.
    • People should try to get their certain RSOs to follow us to get numbers up and help our interactions
  • Techniques to better
    • Photoshop
    • HTML

Messaged the Daily Illini twitter feed asking for a shoutout to gain more followers

Got a like from the University of Illinois twitter page after tweeting at them for recognition

Placed more flyers around campus

Emailed Terry Cole regarding sending out a mass email or other people to talk to in order to spread the word and get more recognition and followers for our account

Week of March 8th Contributions

Tweeted at UI twitter page asking for retweet/shoutout (they liked the tweet much to my surprise, not sure if they’ve done anything after)

Thinking that a good way to get more recognition for our pages would be to get shoutouts or retweets from bigger pages like done above in order to get some base for more followers and such.

Left flyers at various places around campus (English Building basement, Foellinger, Greg Hall library, ect.)

Stayed on top of various tweets I was scheduled for. They come as followed:
