Social Networks – Useful or Not

Social media is the topic of an interesting discussion on the NCVO website –  to discover whether it is of benefit to organisations, especially those in the voluntary and community sector.  Social networks/media are online spaces such as facebook and twitter.

The general consensus is that it is of benefit and one of the participants has submitted five good points:

• It’s free market intelligence
• Engage with your supporters and improve your customer service
• Raise your profile and increase your reach
• Collaborate with your colleagues and develop your knowledge
• It levels the playing field between large and small organisations
