Re: [Callers] Twitter and Instagram for Contra Dance Marketing - Contra Callers

16 Nov 2018

Hi, John,

The Instagram associated with my dance community has had some success in
promoting our dance.  It also caught the eye of a local business who ended
up sponsoring us for a short while when we were new.

Because I don't manage it or use Instagram at all myself, I can't say
anything about getting started.  What I can say is that because Instagram
is for photos, you need someone who can take good photos.  It also helps if
the person managing the profile has an understanding of relevant hashtags
to use.

Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/portlandintowncontradance/

Good luck!

 Hi all,

               Has anyone had any success at getting new people along to
 dances by using Twitter or Instagram?

               If so, please do you have any advice on:

 How to get started?

 What sort of material to post?

 Who to Follow to see some successful usage?

               Thanks.

             Happy dancing,

                    John
