Trihydro team of fers social media best practices during November chapter meeting

The regular monthly chap-ter meeting of the Wyoming Chapter of ARMA was held on Tuesday Nov 14 at the Wyoming State Library Presi-dent Carolynn Coy began the meeting by playing the begin-ning of the ARMA Web Ses-sion of the Month Social Business Assessment from ARMA LIVE 2013 Confer-ence Web Seminar

Below is a brief overview of the beginning segment

For individuals out-of-date social media ac-counts are not as critical but for organizations they can be riskier if you donrsquot know what ac-counts are out there you canrsquot apply retentionRM methods to the data and may have out-of-date dataincorrect infor-mation

Identify accounts by ask-ing people (internal re-view) external review (search social media sites and search engines) con-ducting surveys (anonymous may provide better results) and setting up alerts for new rogue account discovery

Vet and validate all found accounts

Reasons to use social media in support of busi-ness objectives include better customer service product development and community engage-ment Organizations should recognize social media as a reality and try to manage the risk and

opportunities involved

Following the web ses-sion Coy introduced guest speakers Jeff McDonald and Isabel Perez from Trihydrorsquos Business Development amp Marketing Department Tri-hydro is an engineering and consulting firm founded in Laramie

The presenters noted that social media is a powerful professional tool for building relationships networking marketing and recruiting however they acknowledge different tools are better for different services and organi-zations

McDonald offered the fol-lowing tips for managing an organizational social media presence

Be sure to add basic or-ganizational information

Manage content so it stays active and relevant

Frequency of posting should depend on how

much quality content you have to sharemdashyou may post some content on one site versus another

You can use social media tools for notification and post analytics (which can be useful metrics for boardsmanagement)

Perezrsquos presentation fo-cused on social media tools She advised that imagery can be used to grab peoplersquos at-tention and that varied im-agery is the best however the same images can be used across the page to increase consistency

In order to manage an or-ganizationrsquos various social media accounts there are platform managers available Perez recommended Hoot-suite which allows the user to schedule and manage posts to all social media accounts from one site

According to Perez Can-vacom is a free tool that can

be used to develop social me-dia content It even includes post templates

Tips were also provided by Perez on decommissioning social media accounts De-pending on the platform she said the account could be merged with another active account Often times the social media account will re-quire the account manager to have enough information to prove that this is your compa-nyrsquos account in order to can-cel it

No matter what the organi-zation is posting however McDonald and Perez stressed that the accounts manager must be aware that nothing disappears Content that is posted is a reflection of self and the organization and there is no confidential infor-mation online Proofreading prior to posting is a must

Following the presenta-tions the guest speakers an-swered group questions

Trihydro Corporation uses various social media websites including their Facebook

page pictured above to communicate with the public Members of Trihydrorsquos Busi-

Perezrsquos presentation fo-cused on social media tools She advised that imagery can be used to grab peoplersquos at-tention and that varied im-agery is the best however the same images can be used across the page to increase consistency

In order to manage an or-ganizationrsquos various social media accounts there are platform managers available Perez recommended Hoot-suite which allows the user to schedule and manage posts to all social media accounts from one site

According to Perez Can-vacom is a free tool that can

be used to develop social me-dia content It even includes post templates

Tips were also provided by Perez on decommissioning social media accounts De-pending on the platform she said the account could be merged with another active account Often times the social media account will re-quire the account manager to have enough information to prove that this is your compa-nyrsquos account in order to can-cel it

No matter what the organi-zation is posting however McDonald and Perez stressed that the accounts manager must be aware that nothing disappears Content that is posted is a reflection of self and the organization and there is no confidential infor-mation online Proofreading prior to posting is a must

Following the presenta-tions the guest speakers an-swered group questions

Trihydro team of fers social media best practices during November chapter meeting

The regular monthly chap-ter meeting of the Wyoming Chapter of ARMA was held on Tuesday Nov 14 at the Wyoming State Library Presi-dent Carolynn Coy began the meeting by playing the begin-ning of the ARMA Web Ses-sion of the Month Social Business Assessment from ARMA LIVE 2013 Confer-ence Web Seminar

Below is a brief overview of the beginning segment

For individuals out-of-date social media ac-counts are not as critical but for organizations they can be riskier if you donrsquot know what ac-counts are out there you canrsquot apply retentionRM methods to the data and may have out-of-date dataincorrect infor-mation

Identify accounts by ask-ing people (internal re-view) external review (search social media sites and search engines) con-ducting surveys (anonymous may provide better results) and setting up alerts for new rogue account discovery

Vet and validate all found accounts

Reasons to use social media in support of busi-ness objectives include better customer service product development and community engage-ment Organizations should recognize social media as a reality and try to manage the risk and

opportunities involved

Following the web ses-sion Coy introduced guest speakers Jeff McDonald and Isabel Perez from Trihydrorsquos Business Development amp Marketing Department Tri-hydro is an engineering and consulting firm founded in Laramie

The presenters noted that social media is a powerful professional tool for building relationships networking marketing and recruiting however they acknowledge different tools are better for different services and organi-zations

McDonald offered the fol-lowing tips for managing an organizational social media presence

Be sure to add basic or-ganizational information

Manage content so it stays active and relevant

Frequency of posting should depend on how

much quality content you have to sharemdashyou may post some content on one site versus another

You can use social media tools for notification and post analytics (which can be useful metrics for boardsmanagement)

Perezrsquos presentation fo-cused on social media tools She advised that imagery can be used to grab peoplersquos at-tention and that varied im-agery is the best however the same images can be used across the page to increase consistency

In order to manage an or-ganizationrsquos various social media accounts there are platform managers available Perez recommended Hoot-suite which allows the user to schedule and manage posts to all social media accounts from one site

According to Perez Can-vacom is a free tool that can

be used to develop social me-dia content It even includes post templates

Tips were also provided by Perez on decommissioning social media accounts De-pending on the platform she said the account could be merged with another active account Often times the social media account will re-quire the account manager to have enough information to prove that this is your compa-nyrsquos account in order to can-cel it

No matter what the organi-zation is posting however McDonald and Perez stressed that the accounts manager must be aware that nothing disappears Content that is posted is a reflection of self and the organization and there is no confidential infor-mation online Proofreading prior to posting is a must
