• It’s changing the face of marketing and public relations and, more importantly, the way we communicate with each other.
• Social media allows for real-time conversations among many people.
• It allows you to build relationships.
• And, at a relatively low cost to the organization!
• Because the conversations are happening…with or without you.
Why should we care?

Things to note:Who has the time to manage social media?
There are lots of applications and tools that can make this manageable. Some let you monitor what is being said about your organization, some let you track how far your reach is and some help manage the time it takes to disseminate material through these platforms.
Won’t social media just allow people to air their negative comments about our organization?
A small fraction of your interactions will be negative. Having the ability to converse with someone who is upset or disappointed is positive!
But how will people know we’re on social media?
Promote it in your newsletters, on your website, in your email signatures, in your press releases and by word of mouth.

Questions that need to be asked before getting
into social media:Who is going to manage the social media
campaign and much time is to be allocated?
What is your response policy to questions/criticism/praise?
What are the benchmarks to measure usefulness/success?
