23. TIMING & FREQUENCY
On which day and time do we post?
Until the setup and activation of performance based community management and
statistical analyses in which we will be able to gather valid insights within 2 to 3
months, we will rely on research by Buddy Media which shows that:
The weekend is most engaging for Twitter;
The most engaging hours to post on Facebook are outside of office hours, the so
called non-busy hours;
The most effective times to tweet are during the busy hours, when posting on
Facebook is not recommended. In order to create an always on conversation,
it is wise to keep both Twitter timing and Facebook timing in mind
25. TIMING & FREQUENCY
How often do we post?
Through Performance-based Community Management we will obtain insights into the
best posting frequency. We will use the KPI Posting Strategy for this and analyse the
relationship between posting frequency and unlikes. Strategies for effective Facebook
wallposts based on experience and research:
Limit posts to two a day; engagement rates are 40% higher when there are less
than three posts a day.
Exceptions can be made when exclusive campaign, current and relevant content is
offered.
We will start with 4 posts a week. Data analyses will show over time what is best!
Again its quality, not quantity, that counts.
In order to create the most engagement on Tweets, its important to find the Tweet
spot. The graphic below shows the number of Tweets that obtain the most
engagement. Since the fewer the Tweets, the higher the engagement, it is important to
Tweet on the most engaging days and hours, which will be found through statistical
analysis.

Editor's Notes
#3: Consistent with pathway models of behavior change, the findings demonstrate that individuals requesting general information are not necessarily prepared to access services, while those seeking service availability information are motivated to utilise them. Intuitively, this seems reasonable: If you already know what MC is all about you wont use Tohara, youll just want to know where you can get the procedure (i.e., youre knowledgeable & motivated).
#5: How communications workAdvertising and marketing communications work in a number of ways. Put most simply, these can be three:By consciously communicating information.By creating desirable associations for the brand or product: this process may not be conscious, will often not be verbal. Because it uses images or stories the communication is less precise than giving information. However we know that it is no less powerful as a way of influencing behaviour.By raising top of mind awareness of a brand, or reminding people of information or associations previously communicated.
#6: Information give facts, endorsements, guarantees, etc Demonstration show product in action, torture tests, side by side, etcDramatisation create a story, find compelling metaphors, etc Leverage existing brand strengths, remind people of brands history, use established devices and mnemonics
#7: When I [desired action], instead of [alternative], I will [reward]Rewards may be:Functional sensory emotional expressive
