Week 8 Alternate Assignment Part One


The Oceanside Breakers have been using different social media platforms over the past few years. We have created an Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube channel for our organization. We have found that our most effective platform is our Instagram, we currently have 1500 followers, and we follow 191 users now. We have always used the Facebook platform to help target the parents of players, but we use Instagram to help target the 18 and under crowd. Along with posting photos of our players, we have used this platform to help bridge the gap between players and colleges. Using Instagram with these two methods has been effective to not only increase our social media presence but also increase our community presence.
We are extremely active on Instagram, whether it be by pictures, videos, or stories, we utilize all these tools to help maximize our brand. On an average day we will post at least once through a normal post, but we will have multiple stories loaded on our profile to increase our chances on the discover page. On a normal day we will typically use anywhere from 2-10 hashtags, but we prominently feature the #Breakermade on all our platforms, as this has helped create a culture of family, development, and character. We usually only follow business pages, that are not only in the Oceanside area but are also active on their own social media. This helps us correctly follow leaders in the Instagram platform while being able to keep growing our page organically.
We are currently working on increasing our presence on our YouTube channel, the lack of having video content has made it difficult to add content to the page. We have planned on not only creating captivating videos of our players, but offering other content like interviews, training guides, and team drills to help increase our popularity.
