Edudemic’s article shares some tips on how to promote your school’s Mobile App

You know how it is – children take home information on paper from school and it stays in their school bags for like ever! Now it’s a fact that more parents than non-parents use mobile apps so it makes perfect sense for children’s schools to use a mobile app to keep parents informed as to what’s going on in their community and also to promote the school.

How do you get the word out about the App and keep it noticed?  Take a look at these tips for doing just that:

1. A couple of times a month post your App onto some social media platforms – mix it up with links or text.
2. Testimonials are a great way of getting people to notice and use your App.
3. Create a single page flier showing your App and distribute it as often as you can to parents and community boards.

You can read more on the above tips and other tips in Jeff Dunn’s Edudemic article.

A recent article in Forbes reveals that one of the by-products of social media is that how you (and others) perceive yourself through social media can seem more important than your reality.

So individuals begin to see themselves as successful if they get 1,000 followers on Twitter and not necessarily because they are a lawyer.  People create themselves as experts through the power of social medial whilst real experts may have no social media presence.

The article also shows us 7 ways how we can value ourselves in real life – here are a few:

1. If you have low self-esteem you will compare yourself to others.  DON’T! Focus on yourself and what your strengths are.
2. Align yourself with the right people, those people who are happy for you and encourage you to grow your potential.
3. It’s important to be your own brand manager.

According to the Social Media Examiner using microblogging sites are business worthy marketing tools especially Tumblr who’s enjoying great growth.

Thousands of new Tumblr blogs are appearing everyday with large sites, fashion and media blogs faring better than some of the others.  Why this is may be down to the fact that Tunblr blogs are visual rather than wordy.

Here are just 5 ways of marketing your business with Tumblr:

1. Users are able to drag a ’bookmarklet’ button to their bookmarks bar to quickly share interesting items.
2. If you use the Juuvy theme you can create a modular grid with adjustible post sizes.  Colors, background and fonts can be customized and the photos can be of high resolution.
3. You can have more than one blog to compliment the content of the others – with different features on each blog.
4. Add an ‘Ask link’ to enable visitors to interact with you privately and see posts from other Tumblr blogs that you liked.
5. You can have a mobile-friendly version of your blog to enable you to be as accessible to your target audience 24/7.
