Social Media Plan

First Social Media Platform Utilized

This service will be utilizing Instagram. The first objective is to upload three posts every week on Instagram. The posts will comprise of service-line countdowns, mental health resources, and fun opportunities on campus to increase awareness and engagement for Indiana University Indianapolis students. The second social media objective is to post a weekly poll of serious questions related to mental health or fun “get-to-know you” questions on Instagram. The results from the fun polls will be posted the next day, as can the serious polls when appropriate. This will encourage follower participation and engagement.

​

Instagram will be utilized primarily to make simple posts, upload polls, and spread the word about campus events (especially those being hosted by our partners). Some of the posts will include information relating to grief statistics. For example, posts would be uploaded around the holidays letting students know that they have support during these times. The polling questions will change weekly and be comprised of mindful and fun questions or serious questions. A fun question, for instance, would be, “What are you grateful for?” A serious question would be something along the lines of, “When you are feeling overwhelmed, how do you address it?” Three posts will be made weekly following a simple structure: one polling post (results are included in this), one informational post, and one post sharing an opportunity for campus engagement.

Second Social Media Platform Utilized

TikTok is one of the most popular social media apps for younger crowds. They will engage with TikTok's being posted.

The second social media being utilized is TikTok. Since TikTok requires videos, it would be advantageous to keep these videos engaging and thoughtful; therefore, only one video will be uploaded weekly to TikTok. These clips will either be comprised of shocking/informative grief statistics or interviews with students, service users, and mental health professionals. According to a 2021 report from Pew Research, most adults under the age of thirty use Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok (Auxier & Anderson, 2021). The target market is undergraduate students at Indiana University Indianapolis, which fits the criteria best. Additionally, the options that Instagram and TikTok offer would be most productive for the social media objectives. Finally, Snapchat’s features are best for brief announcements as the stories one posts will disappear after 24 hours, but these posts should be permanent.
