Follower Milestone

I don't usually notice my follower count, which means milestones fly past me before I spot them, but I happened to glance at it today and, uh...

How are there almost 500 of you!?

It's giving me the urge, for the first time, to do some sort of celebration. No idea what though, I'll have to give it a think.

If you've got any idea's, feel free to drop them in the comments/reblogs, or shoot me an ask! Most follower celebrations I see are art based, and I give stick figures a bad name so that's not going to fly I'm afraid.

Regardless of whether I can think of something, thank you all for being here. <3

Johnny Cake Center, and Non Profits

For those unaware, Johnny Cake Center is a non profit organization that allows you to donate items to them, which will then be distributed to those in need, aswell as operate a thrift store with cheap prices that allow you to purchase used goods.

Johnny Cake has its own website, that is well made, but it does not have a large social media presence. The Johnny Cake Center of Westerly, which you can follow here: https://www.facebook.com/JonnycakeCenterWesterly/

Has at the moment of writing this, only 16k likes and 27k followers. They mostly post regarding deals and price drops on their thrift store, but they seem to not have any sort of social media presence outside of the business end of things. If they were to showcase specific items of interest that are available, I would expect them to receive more interaction on Facebook.

Similarly to facebook, They have a Instagram which can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/thejonnycakecenter/

similarly to Facebook, the majority of their posts do not receive much traction, as they only post about deals and prices, and I think instagram would be the ideal place to advertise the type of products they are selling, as well as interacting with the thrift community, now that it is becoming trendier.

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

Heck, it’ll even thrive. The Democrat Party, not so much. For the last several years there has been an incessant drumbeat of polarization. Turn on any outlet, major, minor or just some guy on YouTube and all you will hear is how polarized the US has become. The events of the last three weeks seem to seal the deal for many people. But it’s still not true. America remains as insanely centrist as…

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.

Paid Advertising Metrics:

Digital advertising platforms, such as Google Ads and social media advertising platforms, offer a range of metrics to measure the performance of paid campaigns. Metrics like impressions, click-through rates, cost per click, and return on ad spend provide businesses with valuable insights into the effectiveness of their advertising efforts. These metrics help businesses optimize their ad campaigns, allocate budgets effectively, and achieve better ROI.

Attribution Modeling:

Attribution modeling is a technique used to assign credit to different marketing touchpoints that contribute to a conversion. It helps businesses understand the impact of various marketing channels and campaigns on the customer journey. By using attribution models, businesses can allocate resources effectively, optimize their marketing mix, and make data-driven decisions.

Continuous Improvement:

Digital marketing metrics and analytics provide businesses with the opportunity for continuous improvement. By regularly monitoring and analyzing campaign performance, businesses can identify trends, spot areas for improvement, and make data-driven optimizations. This iterative approach allows businesses to refine their strategies, enhance their marketing efforts, and achieve better results over time.

Original Content #3 (Week 9)

"What conclusions do you think you can draw about content strategy? How does the data you're collecting connect to those conclusions?"

As I mentioned in a previous post, my data helps me draw conclusions about content strategy by showing me what tools the content creators use, how it affects the engagement from their audience, and when/where they continue to follow certain patterns to maintain consistent engagement (and whether they even do that or not). So far, the patterns that I've drawn in my data show me exactly what specific things each creator does that correspond to higher levels of engagement, which helped me to create a conclusion that can further lead me to an answer to my research question. Just as a refresher, my research question is:

"What recurring content themes do the creators employ that see the most engagement in their posts, relative to the rest of their posts?"
