Member Love Stories
Is it February already! Wow – 2016 is already whizzing past us! February is such a LOVE-ly month and I know many clubs gear up for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner at the club. What new and creative ways are we promoting Valentine’s Day?
Maximize Every Message
During my preparation for a webinar with the PCMA, I captured many examples of how private clubs are posting information online. I wanted to share these three examples with you because while these clubs are making a great effort in the social space, there is room for improvement with these specific posts. These examples are being shared with you so that we can learn to maximize every post – make it as engaging as possible, provide all of the information and add value for the members.
Serving as a Source for Information
So often I hear the question, âWhat should we be posting on social media?â This is a very good question and also a very easy one to answer as there are so many topics you can cover.
One way to think about this is to position the club as a source of information for Members. You may choose to focus on the specific activities in your club, like golf or tennis, or whatâs happening in your community or how your committees are influencing club activities. All of these topics can lead to members turning to the club as a resource for learning about these topics.
How to Use Hashtags Every Day of the Week
Today is Wednesday, but in the social media sphere, it is #WineWednesday and #WeddingWednesday. Are you posting something relative to these themes? You should! Weâre lucky in the Private Club industry that so many of the recurring hashtags are a perfect fit for our clubs. Here are some we can take advantage of, and some that our members are already using with enthusiasm!
Take Advantage of #TBT
Hopefully, youâve come to love Thursdays and all of the âThrow Back Thursdayâ (TBT) activity across social sites. I have a few friends on Facebook who routinely post awesome (and embarrassing) photos from our school days. Professional sports teams use the trend to share historical and âwowâ moments. The TBT posts are some of my favorites. I want to help you develop a strategy around this popular trend.
