Our main objectives for the social media planning of 2015 is to increase the fan base on social media as well as game
attendance.
Two major social strategies will support this objective:

advancements.
2. Promote the in game fan experience as well as the Miami area that Sun Life is placed with an emphasis on
loyalty and comradery as Miami/Florida natives (bring back the old fans).

Social Media Audit Cont’dData as of February 20, 2016
• The highest fan interaction occurs on Instagram. This could be due to the fact that you can instantly like a picture and move on. The pictures usually tell a story or provide information in a short and quick manner unlike tweets or Facebook posts.
• In addition, there is a large demographic of Miami Dolphin fans.
• The older fans are more likely to use Facebook, the Middle aged to younger fans are more likely to use Twitter and the younger fans are more likely to use Instagram. Knowing this information could greatly influence the way in which social media strategies are implemented. It will also influence the type of information and how often information is released on each platform. Another fact to consider is the amount of male fans that visit these sites, although we do not want to isolate our female fans, we must ensure that the majority is satisfied while trying to maintain the minority fans as well.
Overall Business Goals:Increase and improve fan interaction and connectedness with the Miami
Dolphin social media brand.
Social Media Objectives to Support Business Goals:• Increase weekly social media activity by 25%• Increase weekly website traffic by 25%• Utilize promotional offers to both improve social media fan

Develop promotional prizes to distribute bi-weekly to the fans that generate the most social media traffic. This could mean visitation of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Results Assessment: We estimate that there is a total engagement percentage of 22.5% through three social media platforms for our club. With about the social media strategy we plan to implement, the hopes is that these numbers improve greatly. Through promotional giveaways, increased list-serv contacts and increased fan/club interactions this 22.5% will rise up to 35% at the least. In addition, it is hopeful to believe that the follower count for all social media platforms to be increased as well by at least 10% over this 4 month span.
