Certain businesses or organizations succeed on Facebook, while others will do better on Twitter or Instagram or on another marketing medium entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are a number of factors that will determine whether or not a business succeeds on social media, I\u2019ve learned one thing is certain: sometimes you never know what will happen unless you go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I helped with the launch of a Facebook page<\/a> for my high school alma mater. The premise is based on a website called Maranacook Memories<\/a> created by the daughter (and current student at MCHS) of a colleague. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site shares virtual yearbooks, digital voice interviews of teachers and alumni, and is a general place to share memories. The Facebook page was meant to drive an audience to the website, but also create a place for conversation, photo sharing, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result? A response that none of us expected: an overwhelming 1,000+ (and still growing) likes in a matter of two weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This small Maine high school has yet to have a central hub for alumni and current students to connect and share memories. We\u2019ve seen alumni from every decade comment and share photos from high school, as well as be excited to connect with old teachers and classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, I see the page as a place for communication for everything from reunions to general news and everything in between. The possibilities are truly endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
