We just started implementing our social media policy, trouble is that our website isn’t ready (it’s currently being revamped) to integrate into our social media platforms. We’ve built our blog @ http://blog.211ontario.ca, started using Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/211Ontario and now are creating Mail Chimp e-newsletters. Lots of great resources out there to begin promoting our brand in the online realm, before we launch a highly improved website. We’re looking forward to helping out so many more Ontarians with all of the digital tools that we’ve implemented.

This book looks like a good overview of what we need in order to accomplish our goals! Thanks.

Great post. Integration of all marketing actions is vital to the success of the organization. I’ve found that the bigger the organization the more difficult the coordination is. Small business definitely has an advantage as they operate more as a team and the boss is often the marketing chief as well.

It’s possible to have your latest Twitter posts displayed automatically on your website as well. I’ve set up clients’ websites that way before. That can be helpful in compelling visitors to follow your Twitter account.

Kivi, great reminder of what I’ve been advocating for quite a while. Just received your new book – congratulations on its success.

Hi Beth,

found your article through a link shared on Twitter by TechSoup Canada, whom I follow. I also follow Kivi Leroux Miller and found her work to be an interesting resource many non-profits could/should use.

An aspect of my business is to try and help non-profits in our community establish up-to-date communication systems, which rightfully should include a web presence.

An example of this can be found at: http://www.lushvalley.org (The organisation is currently strapped for resources and haven’t been updating the system as much as one would like to see, but the website’s 2nd blog updates the Facebook page and the Twitter/YouTube accounts are active and ready for content.)

My recommendation for when you’re establishing your online presence is to have a clear picture of what and who you want to reach and then create a system that requires relatively little input and creates big reach for the message i.e. link your blog to your Facebook page via the “Notes” tab, then link your Twitter account to your Facebook page to do the same, set your YouTube notifications to update both Facebook and Twitter when you upload new clips and then link them all to your LinkedIn account. Or, whatever works for you really.

The next point to make is that this mycelium of social media channels need to point back to a place where all the information is available at once, generally your website. I get a lot of people who don’t know where to even start looking for ways to build a website and point them all in the same direction – Viviti.com. It is a versatile, easy-to-learn entry-level website building tool that offers very affordable hosting and domain registration options.

Hope this helps you or some of your readers. All the best.

Thank you for your reflections and ideas!!
I just wanted to add that what seems a proporcionate amount of posts or interventions in one social network, might seem as overwhelming amount of messages in another one…
Twitter seems to accept more messages before people start eraising you from their wall than Facebook, for example… And a Blog wouldn’t be able to offer any real usability if it was updated as often as Twitter!!

It is interesting to see how those platforms develope their own sense of rightness in communication behaviour!

Congratulations for your post here,
