Page 32: TOURISMSTOURISM SANTA FE 2016 MARKETING PLAN · PDF fileFuseideas‐Advertising ... Kelea Denmark, Account Manager ... Love outdoor recreation, fine dining, performing arts, high‐end

SOCIAL MEDIA / STRATEGYSOCIAL MEDIA / STRATEGYOverviewDevelop organic efforts on Santa Fe social media channels as conduits for the authentic voice of Santa Fe rather than promotional channels. These organic efforts will be augmented by paid social media, paid digital and traditional media for the more promotional hard sell efforts.

StrategyWe will focus on using our social networks to attract not just followers but the right followers, i.e. visitors not locals. Adding more followers offers little brand value if the followers are not engaged with the brand and its content. In fact, Facebook’s content algorithm will stop sharing brand content with followers if they don’t Like, Share, Tag or Comment on it.

We will use a bottom‐up approach to content – taking a cue from the content shared by residents and visitors we will generate our own content that matches and augments what people are already passionately sharing.

We will focus on the Santa Fe experience, not the lists of things to see and do.  We will share the stories of the hoteliers, chefs, and artisans who run them as well as the people who make Santa Fe what it is.

We will use an in‐house social media coordinator for real time engagement, timely posting, and an authoritative local voice.
