Social Media Monday (Vol. 5, No. 7)

March 16, 2015

The Maryland Department of Agriculture Needs YOU!

THIS WEEK (March 15-21) is #NationalAgWeek and March 18 is #AgDay2015. Please help us promote Maryland Agriculture by sharing our state ag news on your social channels. Here is a news release with ideas that could be promoted, but anything that pushes out agriculture would be greatly appreciated.

Reach out to Vanessa Orlando (vanessa.orlando@maryland.gov) with any questions and thank you!

HootSuite Tabs & Streams

Organizing your HootSuite dashboard will make your every day social media life much more productive and the job of managing your various social networks a breeze. Begin by getting to know the features of your dashboard including the all important Tabs and Streams. Click here for a quick reference guide and a few short videos on how to add tabs and streams and then begin to create your perfect workflow dashboard. Remember that nothing is set in stone and you can always reshuffle and fine-tune the streams to discover the perfect setup for you.

Please remember to NEVER add your personal social media accounts to your state HootSuite Enterprise dashboard.

Extend Your Reach By Sharing Your Campaign Information Here

Remember that Social Media Monday is the place where you are able to share important agency campaigns with your fellow state social media managers. Many of our communication teams are unable to carve off funds for social ad campaigns so our combined efforts becomes a powerful tool to gain organic reach.

Send me the details of the campaign along with links and suggested posts as early as possible so that we can disperse the information early and often.
