Facebook: Cuurently 58 followers, goal is 75
I plan to leverage the JCCC community to get more Facebook followers by tagging other JCCC groups in posts. I will also engage with other JCCC groups’ posts.

Twitter: 222 followers, goal is 260
We have a big art auction coming up for the Nerman Museum so I will frequently search hashtags for that event and engage with those people. I will also engage with sponsors and artists participating in the event.

Instagram: 4 followers, goal is 25
As with Twitter, I plan to use our upcoming art auction to gain followers. There will hopefully be some buzz about the event that I will be able to engage with. Since the Instagram account is brand new, I also need to spend some time following some other groups/people that will follow back.

The successful social community I chose is the University of Kansas. Their community consists of current students, alumni and faculty/staff. On Facebook, posts regularly get hundreds of likes/reactions, many shares and frequent conversations. KU is really good about getting into the conversations too. On Twitter, KU tweets get many likes and retweets. It appears that they are also proactive in searching for conversations/tweets about them and joining the conversations.

For KU to grow their community, I would suggest they look at what posts get the most action and focus on those. KU also has many sub-pages, like different schools and clubs, so to grow the main KU community they could start conversations with those groups often.

KU is a great community for me to look at for improving the JCCC Foundation’s community. I love the way they have conversations on Twitter, and they respond well to followers on Facebook. JCCC also has many sub-pages that I can get involved with.
