For small and large brands with strong social media programs, it’s easy to gather likes and shares, bu it’s often a challenge to get your audiences, fans or followers to do specific, tangible actions in the real world. It’s a common problem but can be solved with just a few simple steps.
Engaging with a brand or organization online can naturally lead to offline engagement – but only if the right microtasks, reporting systems, and incentives are created.
You too can motivate and incentivize your Facebook and Twitter followers to actually promote the brand in a viral way through these simple steps:
Step #1: Create Bite-Sized Tasks.
Create small online campaign tasks that must be crossed off the list on the way to a bigger offline goal.
Step #2: Make Tracking Easy.
Create a dashboard so that you can follow progress organically without creating extra work for your followers and fans.
Step #3: Give Actual Stuff Away.
Use physical rewards and social recognition to motivate followers, preferably at special invite-only events to take them offline.
Step #4: Help Them Know Where They Stand.
Use an online check-in system where anyone, anywhere, can instantly know how they are doing with offline tasks.
Step #5: Go Big.
Help your fans dream of the possibilities by making the offline experience larger than life and inspiring – such as a big party or motivating rally.
No matter what platform you use, these tips will go far in getting your online fans and followers to do important offline campaign tasks.
