Social media marketing can feel like an overwhelming, ever evolving journey of keeping up with the latest trends and trying to figure out the latest algorithms.
A social media presence is crucial nowadays for strong church communications and church connection, but it can be a lot to manage.
If your primary job is creating content and social media marketing for your church, this article is for you! Here are some essential key things to consider as you tackle social media marketing for your church.
Identify your church's mission with social media and focus your marketing efforts appropriately. Position your messaging intentionally and make sure your whole team is on board. A successful marketing splash isn't limited to a strong digital presence, but it definitely helps! Knowing what your church is hoping to get out of its social media presence will help mitigate a lot of confusion and frustration.
If you don't have an algorithm free community app like TUVU, you will benefit from putting ad spend behind your posts so your followers can see them. Make sure you have some advertising money budgeted for paid ads so your content will be seen by more of your followers and you can drive more traffic to your account.
Create a process for creating short form videos and assets from Sunday service. Creating video reels are a great way to share the heartbeat of your church and also tend to have favorable engagement on all the social media channels out there.
There are plenty of content creating services out there, but Canva is our favorite! Using a tool like Canva enables you to easily pump out graphics and text images.
Remember to provide a call to action in all your posts to keep people engaged and start conversations. Ask questions in your caption or encouraging viewers to share!
Life as a social media manager is unnecessarily challenging without a content calendar. Avoid the overwhelm, and play around with some different creative approaches you can take to your content rotation! Create a rotation of church service recaps, encouraging words, group challenges, promo content, and Bible verses for every week!
TUVU was especially designed to help build and foster a stronger sense of camaraderie within an organization or church. It is the first app of its kind that is especially crafted to help organizations, ministries and churches grow in deeper relationship.
Churches everywhere are utilizing TUVU because it enables church members to be engaged with one another and their church from online, anywhere and anytime.
In the old days, the priority was making sure you had a strong website if you wanted to be on the map. That's still important, but nowadays, a strong digital presence means a strong social media presence because that is where people spend their time.
Did you know the average human between the ages of 16 and 24 spends roughly 5 hours and 49 min per day on social media? There is a lot of trash content out there discipling an entire generation.
We saw the need for a new kind of social media and created a platform especially for hosting edifying, uplifting content, and building community.
Churches have an advantage in the content game. There is a surplus of visual content from every Sunday and massive amounts of video content that could bless someone!
For every person spending time on social media, there is a piece of content from YOUR church that could encourage them!
If you are one of the millions of social media users suddenly noticing your posts have much less engagement than they used to, you are not alone.
Despite your devoted social media efforts, you may have noticed without substantial paid ads, your social media engagement has gone down and your audience is dwindling.
It doesn't matter what your church's social media strategy looks like, how consistent you are posting on the church Facebook page, or how many of your church members follow you on Instagram, the fact is it has become increasingly difficult to be successful with social media outreach. And here is why:
This means these platform favor advertisers over users, which means advertisements and paid promos will be favored over user generated content.
Unless you are one of the brands paying loads of money in advertising, it is difficult to determine your posts will see the light of day.
Unfortunately, without coordinated advertising efforts or keen insight into the current algorithm to make it work in your favor, there aren't many ways around it. However, there is a new algorithm free platform called TUVU.
