So today for my lovely internship, I got to start another week long social networking campaign! As I mentioned before, we are trying to build up our number of Twitter followers, so the giveaways are being done through the campus dining Twitter account.
Today I went down to Starbucks to some pictures there to use for the post. The original plan was to use Java City, but Kasey said that we had some Starbucks stuff that we could make into a gift package to use to give away to the winner, so we went with Starbucks instead. Once I got the pictures, I worked on making the post. Make fun all you want, but I think that composing a 140 character tweet is absolutely a skill and something to be proud of. Especially since pictures apparently count as some of the characters in the tweet!! What the heck is that!? Anyway, I managed to make the tweet without any leftover characters to spare. Upon posting the tweet, I took a screenshot and posted that to the Instagram account so that the people who follow that account are aware that we are doing a twitter giveaway. It’s been a few hours and the tweet already has over 40 retweets and 40 favorites, not to shabby! Followers retweeting/favoriting the tweet is how they are entered to win the prizes for this campaign, since the winner comes from the list of those people.
After that, I brainstormed some ideas for things that we can do for the ‘pink out’ in the Commons that take place for a day in October. I think I have some pretty good ideas and I’m excited to share them with Kasey! Tomorrow I am picking the winner of todays giveaway and posting the next giveaway on the campus dining twitter.
