Best Practices

What & Where to Send

•Do not always send the same message via all channels.

• If Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram are connected to your app, they will populate to your app’s news feed,
along with other news News Article posts from your website or eSVShare and Instant Connect.

•Do designate different roles for each of these platforms.

Examples of Channel Roles

Facebook (or Instagram): Quality photos or videos captured of events happening on campus; sneak peak into your school’s environment, faculty or overall brand of the school.

Twitter: Updates on sporting events, competitions, things happening now or retweeting events, schools, news stories that could have to do with your school or education.

App Push Notification: Reminders of something happening that day OR pointing to an earlier post to re-generate buzz around it.

** Can also be paired with School News Posts: It will populate in the app newsfeed or CMS as well as send a notification to those who have the app.

• Instant Connect:	•
•

Email = Use when you have LOTS of information to share
Text = Use when you have Important, Time-Sensitive information to share
Phone Calls = Use when you have Urgent, Very Time-Sensitive information to share

News Posts: These generate in your eSVShare app platform and push to the website and/or school’s app.

** Use for any posts that normally go in your school news: new weekly calendar, introducing a new staff member, advertising something about to happen or did happen, etc.

When to Send

•Do not post late at night
• The feed is posting within 10-30 minutes of creation.

•Do post during high-traffic business hours or morning/ early evening hours
• Luckily, eSVShare allows you to schedule posts. Use this feature as a way to ensure you aren’t disrupting users late at night.
