Social media tips

Okay, so you have started using social media to promote your club, now you need to monitor it and keep it going.

These are some basic and general tips, but things to remember all the same.

Remember:

• Keep your social media pages up-to-date with regular content, try and post weekly at the least, even if it's just a small update when you're at your weekly club night.
• Video is great content for social media and websites. Do you have someone in your club that shoots underwater video? If so, why not upload videos to your social media pages, and everywhere you can to get maximum exposure. Short and sweet is best. Short burst of just 15 seconds of anything that shows your club in its best light will be great.
• Don’t try and promote yourselves too obviously. There's a fine line between sales posts and self-promotion but try and tow that line.
• Advertise your social media pages where you can - on your main website and on any club leaflets, posters etc. Your free club banner has space for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram usernames so utilise this!
• Use social media to network with other clubs. There is always more to learn and you can pick up recruitment tips from other clubs too!
• Clubs have a high success rate when they answer messages from potential members quickly (within 24 hours is best).
• Use and share content from BSAC's social media pages (and check out your regional team pages too).
