Venue: Online Webcast
Location: Online Webcast, United States
Event Date/Time: Feb 01, 2011 |
Description
Though colleges and universities are flocking to social media websites such as Facebook, many are unaware of simple strategies that can increase community membership, fan base, and "likers" of their institution. Although Facebook has proven to be an effective platform for communicating with alumni and current students, if your community is small, then your messaging reach will be as well. However, Facebook's ad feature is an inexpensive way to boost online alumni attention and philanthropy with a minimum impact on your overall budget.
Join us to explore strategies for improving your advancement work using Facebook advertising.
