Things to remember:

  • Give two weeks before events to advertise
  • The notice board was abandoned too early and din’t show really useful stuff. Too much clutter, not enough commitment.
  • Leaders need to all be enthusiastic about events
  • Go above and beyond to promote events - dress up, decorate, etc. Leader buy in correlates to student buy in (hopefully)
  • Don’t flood facebook too often with event
  • Make sure everyone contributes at least the bare minimum

Pit falls:

  • Coordinate with other teams what needs to be posted. Make sure no flooding the accounts with too much information.
  • Facebook may only invite friends if a non-admin creates an event.
  • Posters might blend in to the room / not pop enough
  • Not giving enough time

Things that went really well:

  • Magnanimous Monday Mooting - Got people engaged and talking on Monday mornings
