Communication about choice in your district.
So much time and effort goes into planning a great Choice program. Be sure to have a plan to share all of the awesome happenings with your community and families!
Let's get started!
Your social media efforts may be the primary way you engage your community when marketing your Choice efforts. Be creative in your outreach and make an extra effort to ask community partners to help promote your posts or activities planned.
Tips for getting social
1. Create a Choice Program hashtag to collect all relative posts
(be sure to share across all your communications!)
2. Use your Choice Calendar as a starting point to select dates to share social
media posts. Once you have your important dates mapped out, begin to plan
what other information you will share.
3. Highlight individual programs with a Weekly Spotlight.
4. Let your audience go behind the scenes of individual programs with a Social
Media Takeover.
5. Remember to include your Program Choice website url (or another resource) for
families to learn more!
Social media best practices
Social media is a visuals-driven medium regardless of the platform. Along with important dates and
information, be sure to include eye-catching photos or graphics to catch your audience's attention.
