I will be giving a workshop at the Alberta Camping Association’s Annual Conference on March 17th at YMCA’s Camp Chief Hector in beautiful Kananaskis Country! For more information on the ACA visit www.albertacamping.com.
The focus will be to educate camp directors and administrators on how social media and other online communications like a properly designed and written website, E-newsletter, and online blog can benefit the promotion of their organization. I would also like to encourage the membership of the ACA to connect with the online community, which includes other camps and related organizations, they’ve established and to grow together as an interactive network.
Although this workshop is built specifically for camps in Alberta and related organizations, it can be fine tuned and restructured for any business or organization. Online communications and Social Media is about people and personal interactions with your customers, prospects, staff and your community. If you are interested in providing a workshop for your employees or organization please contact me via email: amymariehancock@gmail.com.
All the best,
Amy
More about the ACA Conference Workshop:
Social Media and Online Communications for Camps:
Connect with campers, staff, alumni, and promote your camp through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Some of the Alberta Camping Association’s members are active members of this online community. Many are not!
Not sure where to start?
The session will go over page set up, using applications, incorporating other online communications like newsletters and blog articles, tips for daily postings and practices, and how you can use the Alberta Camping Association’s social media sites as a spring board for your own growing online network.
We will brainstorm topics of discussion that you can post, tweet, or blog about on your social media sites. I will also give you literal step-by-step instructions on how to post multi-media, how to reply and ‘retweet’ to interactions on Twitter (it’s a strange world out there on Twitter!), how to use a YouTube Channel to interact with other camps and organizations, and how maximize interaction and ‘impressions’ on your Facebook page. I will also have hand-outs with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube instructions.
This workshop will equip you with the basics for using one of the most interactive, cost effective, and fastest growing marketing tools of our time!
It is also my goal to connect as many members of the Alberta Camping Association with the ACA’s social media community and with each other. Together we can maximize the promotional potential, create an interactive hub for sharing with and supporting each other, and have a lot of fun doing it too!
