St. Jude- Social Media, Planning, Analytics

In regards to vanity metrics, St. Jude has 601,000 followers on Instagram and generates an average of 500-1,000 likes on each post. When they aren’t collaborating with a celebrity or brand, their posts often get less than 20 comments. On X (Twitter), they are approaching 415,000 followers. The posts have a sharp increase in likes compared to Instagram, with an average of 5,000-10,000 likes per post, still with lower commenting rates. They do not seem to use their account on this social media often. On Facebook, they have the largest following at 3 million, although their average like count per post is similar to their Instagram metrics. They often post fundraisers for holidays or children’s birthdays on this platform, but they rarely achieve their financial goals. However, most of their Facebook postings receive thousands of comments. The organization’s YouTube account has 114,000 subscribers, with an average viewership on each video being 500, occasionally reaching hundreds of thousands of users.

St. Jude has the potential to improve their brand’s metrics by engaging in more diverse storytelling and creating more engaging content. They could achieve this by posting about not only children’s stories and fundraising, but expanding content to boost stories of doctors and survivors, as well as discussing medical advances and the efforts to make St. Jude a global organization. Advertising helping children across the globe will not only help their inclusivity efforts, but also incline people of all kinds of demographics to support their efforts. This YouTube video entails a great start for St. Jude’s globalization efforts: https://youtu.be/waHRRhOeRZI?si=DLq2X7NASM7wfqnN

Content such as polls, Q&As, donation milestones, and gamifying efforts with achievement badges or stickers earned by donating or sharing fundraisers across all social media could encourage a younger demographic to get involved and spread their mission to new people. In addition, partnering with younger celebrities or influencers who can bring new people and ideas to the organization would be beneficial to earn the loyalty of a younger demographic, since this age group is the least likely to be involved and concerned about the initiative of St. Jude. St. Jude should also find new avenues similar to their Math-A-Thon to help young children fundraise for their differently abled or ill peers. Read more about their Math-A-Thon here: 

Advanced metrics are a complex measurement of behaviors, attitudes, and opinions of an audience, often going beyond standard calculations. One advanced metric system that I find very useful belongs to Instagram. Not only can you see your views and profile visits, but you can also use data to calculate a percentage follower growth rate between any given period. Whether St. Jude calculates their growth rate since a particular post, monthly, or yearly, advanced metrics could give them insight into how quickly their following is expanding over time. This could clue them into how often they should post, what they should post, and whether certain fundraisers or collaborations were successful and reaching as many people as they hope to. Here is a link to an Instagram post from St. Jude featuring mentions of iconic singer Selena: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIxVhsrsSwC/?hl=en&img_index=1. The exponential increase in likes and comments on this post indicates that the organization also likely gained many followers because of this collaboration.

 It could also help them decide whether or not they should put more effort into outreach. This would be especially helpful if they consistently measure follower growth and can compare their performance in certain months to the performance of said months in previous years.

Channel metrics analyze specific channels from a specific range of dates. One way St. Jude could employ the channel metric is through Instagram’s story feature. They could do this by posting several fragments to their Instagram story and seeing how many users clicked on the initial story compared to how many saw the entire story, comparing the views on the first post and the final post. This may suggest improvements needed to the level of engagement of their posts, as well as how cohesive and interesting the collection of stories is.

Behavioral metrics are a measurement of the actions or interactions users take that connect them to various initiatives, products and services, and communication objectives. A behavioral metric for St. Jude that comes to mind would be Facebook’s sharing feature. This feature helps track the extent to which followers are resonating with and ultimately sharing their content. This is very significant as it acts as a butterfly effect, spreading their content and messaging to all of the friends of each individual who shares a post. Having active followers to amplify your messaging is no small feat when the internet is as endless as it is. People sharing your posts indicate that they are engaging with the organization not only physically, but also emotionally.

Inspiring young females to be healthy and confident, while raising awareness of a great non profit.

I'm looking at a nonprofit in Rhode Island that has been helping young females called Girls On The Run Rhode Island. This nonprofit encourages participants to successfully navigate life experiences by strengthening physical, emotional, and social skills. They are centered around young females in grades 3-12. Their social media consists of a Facebook page, Instagram page, and a LinkedIn Profile. 

While researching the nonprofit, I was a little surprised they did not have more of a social media presence, no Tik Tok (a huge, missed opportunity), no X (formerly known as Twitter), or even a YouTube. I'd be very curious to know the organization's social media plan and goals to know why they only utilize three social media platforms. 

I first went to Girls on the Run RI's Facebook page, which currently has 3,8K followers with 3,7K likes across the page. The page was created in 2011. I was very surprised to see the low number of likes and interactions on recent posts. The subject matter of the posts ranged from a call to action for volunteer coaches, a fundraiser scheduled with a local pizza restaurant in the area, and a thank you to a local bank for their generous donation to the program. These posts I thought were well written, with all the relevant information to engage the follower of the page. Each post had all the relevant hashtags as well. Being a nonprofit, it is easy to understand that a lot of followers to the page will be people who participated in fundraisers, active as a coach, or who were previously involved with the organization. But I have concerns about the low interactions. 

Although the posts are well written and the pictures are associated well, being a picture-based Facebook platform you can be stagnant in how you attract more interaction with your posts. They are not taking advantage of videos or reels that can increase their presence. The group has only two reels, and two videos in any of their posts. While their Instagram account has over 50 reels. More sharing of those reels to Facebook could help in interaction It is well known throughout the social media space reels and videos are becoming more and more popular, Quickframe.com reports how you can take advantage of these mediums on your social media in 2025. 

Also seeing the reviews page there has not been a follower or someone who participated in an event that has written a review of them since 2019. A call to action to have members recall positive and engaging experiences would also increase interaction. 

One channel metric I would suggest doing is studying the engagement rate, seeing where commenting and interacting with followers can be increased, starting a conversation within the post itself. A second one would be awareness, how to reach people passionate about the wellbeing of young females and how you connect to these people, through more mention of the website, your mission, to get people involved. A behavioral metric I suggest is to study the CTR, engage people coming from the social media platforms to the website to donate, sign up for events and volunteer. The advanced metric I would suggest is conversion.  

Of note, The Facebook algorithm has always been criticized, dissected, and written about. Facebook, and its sister Instagram, went through a focus metric change in 2024 that went away from variable metrics such as impressions, plays, and other metrics to a more uniforms views count.  

On to the organization's Instagram account they have 1,531 followers, they are following 757 people with over 2,312 posts since 2013. Same as the Facebook page they have very low likes on the pictures and media that they have posted. The media used is a combination of pictures from actual events to canvas, adobe like template-based images with information or call to actions. They do have separate sections for individual stories, which while defined well, there haven't been updates or new stories added to them in a very long time. Views on the reels aren't too bad, some in the hundreds, so the reels section seems to be the strongest views part of their account. I do also love the fact they have the live event pictures, which give you that true human element of positivity, seeing the smile on the children's faces. 

By making sure they post fresh, updated content to their stories and reels, they can maximize user engagement. My recommendations for the Instagram page are for behavioral, the number of shares on their content, to get followers more engaged. For channel metrics I would look at amplification rates and for advanced metrics I would again look at conversion. I think they do have a home run with their Instagram page. 

As I stated above, they should evaluate whether adding more platforms (Tik Tok, etc.) would fit into their social media portfolio. 

And finally, sensible.com has a great read that can help this nonprofit benefit from using social media to manage their social media platforms and get the most value to help support their mission.

CCAP or CCRAP- The Vanity Metrics of Comprehensive Community Action Program

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Comprehensive Community Action Program (CCAP), it is a private Rhode Island non-profit agency that provides a multitude of services to those in need. CCAP is a great resource for a vast majority of essential needs, including housing, healthcare, education, social services and more. Since late 1965, CCAP (formally Cranston Comprehensive Action Program) has been providing resources and benefiting the lives of thousands and thousands of Rhode Islanders. Taken directly from the CCAP website, their mission statement is boldly written, “to empower all people and communities, challenged by poverty as well as social and cultural barriers, through advocacy, education, and access to high quality health and human services” (https://www.comcap.org/about-us/history/).

As a community program, CCAP benefits greatly from social media marketing and communication to make their programs well known. A vanity metric that is extremely easy to follow from CCAP is their Facebook page like and follow count. On CCAP's Official Learn to Earn Facebook account, they currently have 981 likes, and 1.4K followers. On CCAP’s second Facebook page Comprehensive Community Action Program, Inc., they have 3.3k likes, and 3.5k followers. Lastly, on Ccap’s (unlinkable) inactive account, they have 2.4K friends. On Facebook, liking a page is virtually equivalent to publicly showing your support for an organization or individual- therefore having roughly 4,281 public supporters on one platform alone, and over 7,000 friends. Beyond CCAP like and follower count, another vanity metric attainable via their Facebook is the number of shares and engagement their “flyers” receive. On popular program flyers, such as a “Paid Intro to Cosmetology Training” for individuals aged 14-17, it received 206 shares. Similarly, other flyers such as a WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) program received 130 shares, multiple summer employment flyers received up to 534 shares, and a “Free Teacher Assistant Training Program” gained a large traction, receiving over 1,300 shares (all of which is posted on CCAP Learn to Earn). Their other main social media platform includes their Instagram, comcapri, focused primarily on social services, events and resources. On Comcapri, they have a total of 388 followers, and on average receive under 20 likes per post. On their alternate employment, training and education based alternate employment, training and education based Instagram, they have a total of 271 followers, this page similarly receives under 20 likes per post. Other CCAP platforms include a inactive TikTok, with 555 followers and a total of 6,154 likes for, an inactive CCAP Youtube account, hosting 11 followers and a whopping total of 913 views within 10 years of uploading; as well as an inactive X (former Twitter), with 828 followers. Realistically, if all inactive page followers were added up, they would have at least 3,800 more people actively engaged. 

After studying the vanity metrics of a popular Rhode Island resource hub, concern has crept over me. With an agency that primarily communicates via social media postings, there are a ton of inactive accounts hosting hundreds of people. The issue with these accounts is the amount of people following them that may think CCAP is no longer providing resources. One way I believe CCAP can improve their metrics and overall communication process is to clean up their social media accounts. This can be done in two ways. The first way CCAP’s social media can be cleaned up would be by reactivating their accounts and using them all to post resources and information. With reactivating their The second way would be deleting their inactive social media accounts, or making a new post informing users to follow their active pages. This can channel some of their users on inactive pages to their newer platforms, therefore only having to focus on one account. With a minimal amount of active accounts, social media can become a priority again to CCAP, allowing information to be frequently updated and posted for all to see. With more emphasis on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, more information could be distributed. On both Facebook and Instagram, CCAP could incorporate Sponsored Posts, allowing for more awareness of the non-profit, as well as an increase of engagement and page views, ect. This is easy as both platforms are interlinked Meta platforms, allowing for both platforms to update simultaneously. According to SocialPilot in April of 2023, Facebook Ads alone had the potential to reach about 2.249 billion users- just imagine 2024’s user reach. With a larger outreach, this would increase views, likes and more- potentially increasing the metrics in a drastic manner. Should CCAP be incapable of increasing their metrics internally, another way to improve this could be CCAP hiring a social media analytics employee. An outsourced analytics specialist can study and advance metrics, in turn perfect platforms and increase the overall experience for CCAP and its community. With hiring from outside companies the nonprofit will spend more money, but may be able to expand their communication and allocate more resources to people in need. 

When we are studying metrics, the easiest source is generally the official website. The first source I will be using is CCAP's Official Website. Fundraising and donations- According to CCAP, their annual funding is estimated at about 41 million, accumulated from grants, government and several large donors. Just a few of which include Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, CVS Health, Navigant and Blue Cross Blue Shield. CCAP also asks for volunteers in many aspects, ranging from “gifts of stock”, hosting a house party, or forming funding via “dress down days” where donations are sent to CCAP. Channel metric: Website traffic- After opening quite a few accounts on various websites, I was able to get the website traffic information for the months of August and September of 2024. According to SEMRUSH, in August, CCAP’s website received 5.2k visits and in September they received 2.8k visits. This is a total loss of 2.4k within the span of two months. Behavioral metric: Closely related to the advanced metric example, my behavioral metric, bounce rate, was also sourced from SEMRUSH. The bounce rate, also known as the amount of users who leave a website with no action performed, is a rising concern for CCAP’s official website. According to August 2024, the noted bounce rate was 0%, then increased in September to 32.29%. This is an increase of 100% bounce rate.  My second platform I will be telling the metrics for will be CCAP’s most active Facebook, CCAP Learn to Earn. On this account, they consistently post advanced training opportunities to their 1.4k followers. Advanced metric: Customer segmentation is the act of putting consumers into separate categories to facilitate the market and speak to specific people. An example of segmentation for CCAP is the use of Tiktok. Tiktok is a social media platform used primarily by younger generations. It is perfect that CCAP uses this platform, as they offer many resources to people aged fourteen through twenty-six. Another segment that CCAP is easily able to market to is the older demographic of Facebook. With CCAP showing an abundance of information to the younger generations parents, aunts, uncles and family they are able to inform a lot of people about potential opportunities. Channel metric: The comments on platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok can be considered channel metrics. For example, you are able to generally gauge how individuals feel about certain posts and information given. For example, on various FB flyers, many individuals comment things like “@somebody 14-17!!!”, “@somebody Are you interested” and more. On Tiktok, comments read things like “This is great”. When we look at comments on these pages, we often see an abundance or a lack, however this is communication within itself. Closely related to channel metrics, we will be looking at user ratings and feedback for the behavioral metric. On CCAP Comprehensive Community Action Program, Inc. FB, we can see a public rating provided via their users showing a 94% recommendation. This 94% was generated from about 27 users. It may be noted that these may not be credible sources as Facebook ratings are usually plagued by scammers.

Tumblr Blog #2  #Vanity Metrics

It’s the vanity of it all.

In all businesses, whether they are corporate or non-profit, measuring success is defined by many diverse types of metrics. Metrics are used to assess, compare, and track progress towards employee or company goals. Freberg (2021) states metrics allow business to know what worked, what did not work and what to do differently next time. This information is needed so companies know how to  move towards success. While there are so many distinct types of metrics, we are going to focus on the pitfalls of utilizing vanity metrics in a non-profit.

Before we explain the pitfalls, what exactly are vanity metrics? Just like the definition  vanity, they give you false hope and they do not measure anything. According to Freberg (2021) vanity metrics are pretty to view and report but do not necessarily impact the business objectives or bottom financial line of organizations. In individuals, it equates to the number of likes, followers and comments on one’s Facebook or Instagram page. Most businesses like to have this quantitative information however it is for show and has nothing to do with achieving the company’s goals. 

And in the instance of the non-profit  JARCRI.org,  the vanity metric within Facebook is quite modest, however it doesn’t take away from the mission of ensuring that all who work do not live in poverty.  There are various reasons for the modest vanity metric, according to (Polaris MEP, 2023) they are new  to Rhode Island with  their grand opening just last year.  Nevertheless, their social media presence could be bigger. Forbes (2021) states that to gain followers, spread the word about company  mission, attract donors and keep existing donors engaged, non-profits should utilize social media. JARC-RI has social media for its three locations, but we are going to focus on the RI location.

Each of JARC- RI’s social media accounts have limited following. JARC-RI Instagram page has 157  posts; 157 followers and it is following 129. There are a few reels or videos that show daily life in the CNC world. JARC-RI ’s Twitter or X  is @JARC_RI, and it currently follows nine with twenty-two followers. The last post was 7/31/23 so it could benefit from daily updates. JARC-RI ’s YouTube currently boasts 109 views, twelve subscribers and the last post was over a year ago. JARC- RI frequently posts on Facebook, but it should post new material across all its social media boards. 

JARC-RI Facebook page has fifty-four likes; seventy-three followers and the last post was on August  5th. Very few or limited shares. The page details the success of its trainees and has the intro with the mission statement posted. They are following business appropriate contacts, however, there are only 6  listed. Rhode Island has an extensive manufacturing footprint, so it is wise that JARC actively seeks out those businesses to follow and engage with. There are photos leading up to the grand opening and since that day, posts are limited. 

My suggestion to improve JARC -RI’s Facebook page and to increase engagement is to add more videos of CNC machinist students interacting with trainers and pictures of completed projects. According to Later (2024), the addition of videos allow pages to receive more exposure and engagement because are videos are  popular and have a longer shelf life than pictures.  Videos are also a personable way to  appeal to Gen Z audience. And videos just make a plain page pop. It would also benefit the page to see who is engaging with the posts so it could be tailored. Facebook, (n.d.) uses Page Insights which allow you to track, adjust and increase your engagement from your audience. Page Insights is also a useful tool in understanding why posts generate more traffic than others. If JARC’s Facebook page had a feedback option, that could be used toward behavioral metrics. Lastly, they should post daily content, community giveaways, social engagements, milestones, latest trends, as frequently as possible. Our office is currently jumping on the TikTok trend to bring  community awareness to our mission statement after watching other videos go viral with over two million views. So, posting fun informational content could improve the vanity metric while also building up the company’s visibility. 

Other suggestions include increased hashtags and bringing current relationships to the forefront. JARC should increase their visibility by being  photographed at all Polaris events to ensure all see the cohesive collaboration between the two. This would increase views  and benefit the channel metric. Fifty-four people liked the last picture, and it would benefit the company to utilize a program that assists with analyzing and digging  deeper within the vanity metric. This would satisfy the advance metric by using tools like Facebook insights. Also, this tool could help JARC track engagement and grow their page with that data. Insights is especially useful as it can be used to review who interacted with the website and why they are engaging. This satisfies the behavioral metric. In conclusion, the addition of videos, increasing visibility and using analytical tools could help JARC have numbers more like Apple.

JARC-RI Instagram page is 157  posts; 157 followers and it is following 129 and like Facebook, by adding in a few tweaks here and there, they could increase engagement their tool. Strategies there would include adding hashtags, participating in current trends, and updating the page daily with current information about the CNC world and what is new in the community. Or hiring a resolute social media intern or someone who is proficient in social media would oversee increasing the companies social media page views and that person would satisfy channel metric by reviewing and updating strategies. By having constant eyes on social media, they can modify and revise tools that do not help them measure engagement. Much like Facebook, Instagram also provides companies with Insight.  According to Facebook( n.d.)this tool provides views and profile activity that company posts got. There are other engagement and post interaction metrics, such as accounts reached. This measurement tool satisfies the advanced metric and the behavioral method by detailing the accounts reached. If a particular business  is posting, it would be wise for the social media person to engage with them. How many of us have been contacted about a liked picture, comment or thumbs up?

America Will Survive: The Myth of American Polarization

Making Wishes Come True

The national organization Make-A-Wish, is known for their sweet gestures of taking terminally ill children, and making their dreams come true, no matter how big. Their following on social media mostly consists of celebrities and people willing to make young kids' dreams come to life. There are definitely some missed opportunities to promote their brand and what they strive for. They are not just located here in the US, but are making dreams come true nationwide.

The first platform I decided to analyze was their X (aka Twitter) profile (specifically the international page). On their profile, they are constantly reposting about different events or charity streams that people/content creators will be hosting. At the moment they currently have 18.7K followers on their international account, which is a smaller following amount compared to some of their other official accounts. The amount of likes also varies as well, anywhere from 2 to 3 likes to the very low hundreds. While they may not have many likes, comments, or reposts, the view counts do sit at pretty high amounts (anywhere from low hundreds to mid thousands range). Their most recent post is from May 24th 2024, and it's promoting an event called "Night of 100 Stars" which is essentially a ball to get people together and raise money for the foundation. This could be a perfect opportunity to get the word out there to get more people to attend, but there is not much interaction with the post.

My suggestion for their Twitter would be to post more stuff related to the wishes that are being granted all over the world, to see if those will gain more traction. They could possibly reach out to celebrities with large followings to repost what they are putting online to make it more known what they're doing for people internationally, rather than what they're doing exclusively in one place (behavioral metrics). They should also track their conversion rate, (advanced metric), and their reach (channel metric). They definitely need to boost the interactions with their posts so that it lands on more peoples' time lines. All of these metrics go hand in hand with one another and it's important that the brand keep track of these in order to successfully boost the attention the organization gets. They should also post the results of how happy the children are when their wishes finally get granted, to motivate more people to donate so they can enjoy seeing more smiles on kids' faces.

The other platform I had chosen to analyze was their international instagram account. Their international account actually focuses more on wishes that are actually granted and people's own personal stories. As for their following, they sit at 21.1K followers which is quite a bit more than their Twitter account. They receive a significantly greater amount of likes and comments compared to their Twitter and they use a variety of different hashtags on all their posts.

My suggestion for their Instagram would have to be similar to Twitter, definitely keeping track of their reach (channel metric), and their conversion rate (advanced metric). For their behavioral metrics on the other hand, they should create a post on instagram that every time that designated post gets reposted onto someone's story, a dollar or amount of their choice would be donated to the organization (as many organizations have done this before). Doing that, the organization can also keep track of how many people are reposting it, which in the end it's good because it would be leading to more donations.
