Admission Office Facebook Strategies

Take Your Admission Office's Facebook Page to the Next LEVEL!

 

Major changes in the Facebook Public Profile page = NEW opportunities…

 

 

Join Nick O’Neill editor of the blog AllFacebook.com to learn what these changes mean for your admission office and how you can use them to increase the number of prospective students who connect and engage with you!    Nick has a pipeline direct to Facebook, so bring your questions!

 

You call it your "Class of 2013" fan page Facebook calls it their new Public Profile Page...

But with major new differences!

If your admission office has a Facebook "Class of 2013" page you have an opportunity to take it to the next level to increase the number of prospective students using it, increase communication and engagement.  Facebook is moving toward giving you more control, options and connecting points with your prospective students. 

 This is great news for your admission office!

Your old page still works and you don’t really have to do anything right now.  If you are like most admission offices however, you probably would like to increase participation.

The new changes Facebook implemented in the last month (we expect to see more changes by the time we hold the Webinar) will give you the ability to take your FPPP to the next level.

Chances are you’ve already noticed that your Public Profile page acts much like your personal profile page and includes your Wall, Info, Boxes, Discussions and Photos.  The changes are more intuitive and will make it easier to administrate and maintain. These changes will enable you to effortlessly insert audio, video, photos and links into your status and wall comments.  Your message will get out to more people, with less effort faster! 

But the REAL neat changes are, in many cases, behind the scenes.   That’s what we’ll be digging into.   For example, did you know that you can:

  1. Have your prospective students invite 1 or all of their friends to become a fan of your Class of 2013 Public Profile page?  This one change will rapidly increase the number of friends and participation on your page.  (this feature just went live - last week)
  2. “freeze” your status update to promote events, deadline, activities
  3. Use your mobile phone to update your Facebook Public Profile status from an event or game  (give realtime coverage)
  4. Encourage prospective students to text “fan yourorganizationame” to FB 32665 from their mobile phones to be added as a fan instantly
  5. Import a blog into your Facebook Public Profile page so your stories show up automatically in your “fan” feeds

This is NOT a power point presentation. 

Nick will spend the hour showing you the changes, offering tips and advice on how you can integrate the changes in your page, and answer your questions.  Send your questions ahead of time or ask during the presentation.  Also if you are proud of your organizations Public Profile page, tell us about it so we can show it off!   (Twitter @Philabaum, email don@isgzz.com)

You’ll see examples of other organizations that are already championing these changes and effectively implementing them on their page.  With new opportunities come new issues.  We’ll discuss issues you will face and solicit thoughts from others on how to work around them.

You’ve already invested time in developing your Facebook Public Profile page for your organization.  Join us for this workshop to learn how you can immediately begin to take your "Class of 2013" Facebook  Public Profile page to the next level!  

One Last thing!

John Maver - Co-Founder of Thoughlabs

John's firm will be doing an organization page - "makeover". If you are interested in having your alumni association's Facebook page included in the drawing to have the "makeover", email phyllis@internetstrategiesgroup.com and just put "Facebook Makeover" in the subject line! John will show attendees the page before and after his firm implemented changes. He'll also explain what they did to improve the look, connectivity and participation.

The ideas you take away from this Webinar can be implemented by you or your team immediately!
