Choosing Social Media Tools (WEBINAR)
Thursday and Friday, April 19–20 from 1–2 p.m.
You know you want to use social media to reach your constituents but aren’t sure what tools to choose. What is best for your organization’s style? How do you reach your intended audience? How do you choose tools that will be effective but that you can manage given the staff and time you have? In this webinar, we’ll discuss the various types of social media tools, including the pros and cons of each category, and we'll give you information to help you think about the trade-offs among time, intent, content, and manageability when it comes to social media tools.
