The beauty of social media is that it’s free, anyone can do it and there are literally billions of people on there waiting to hear what you have to say. Oh, and it’s free. Did we already say that?
The vast majority of clubs have a presence on at least Facebook and Twitter these days (you don’t? Get it sorted!) But that doesn’t mean that they are using it properly or enough.
Here are four quick and easy tips to get you started…
1. Don’t be afraid to have a sense of humour! 🤡
It’s important to keep your current members engaged in order to attract eyes from elsewhere. Match reports, live scores, upcoming fixtures etc. are your bread and butter. The way to take it to the next level is simply to have fun with it. Be original and be funny. This will prompt your followers to like, retweet, share or whatever. Grassroots sport is full of funny and engaging stories. Tell them through social media. Before long people will start to notice and if you do it well, be a part of your club.
2. Sell yourself 🗣
You should also think of social media as a free marketing tool. Need more players? Post about it on social media and ask your members to share. Want to boost the sales of club gear or find new sponsors? Do the same.
3. Don’t leave people on read ✅
It’s also important to be active and responsive. Make sure your DMs/PMs or whatever you want to call them are open at all times. You don’t want to receive a message from a potential star striker or opening batsman about joining your club, only to ignore it for 2 weeks and have them join your rivals!
4. Take It to the Next Level With Our Free Graphics Packs 📈
You’ll have seen them all over the pro club’s social media accounts. Bespoke graphics for goals, line-ups and any other matchday updates. It helps keep those who can’t be at the match up to date and part of the action.
It’s difficult to do, unless your grassroots club happens to have an in-house graphic designer of course. But not many have that luxury…
