The book of Facebook for Community Managers

Posted on by Team Blookup

As a Social Media Manager or Community Manager, Facebook is probably your main communication tool.

The task of animating it is yours, but have you ever taken a look back on everything you’ve accomplished? Do you have a written record of all the hard work generated throughout the year, the number of publications, reactions, shares, comments? Do you possess a decision support tool, proof of the impact of your work?

BlookUp has the ideal solution for you: The book of your Facebook page!

The ideal tool for conscientious CMs

You embody the image of your business by posting diverse and engaging content ? By organizing events, contests, and responding to comments with strong punchlines and gifs.

This daily work is ceaseless and constantly renewing itself, and as each publication is chasing another, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of each action conducted online.

The Facebook book is the paper support that will allow you to:

  • Regularly report on the activity of your page(s), month by month;
  • Discuss with your teams and superiors the editorial line, how to work on visuals, how to write publications…
  • Take stock of the actions and publications that worked, the commitment and feedback from your community through the accurate transcription of comments and the number of reactions to it;
  • Valuing your work to your managers!

Dogs and Humans finding trust and confidence by reading

Posted on by Team Blookup

We already know that reading for ourselves has several beneficial effects. Escaping to other universes brings us solace, discovering other cultures opens our mind, we can learn, imagine, travel, ease our mind.

 But we don’t often read to others and communicate those feelings. Thus making reading a solitary hobby and, above all, a very “human” hobby.

But can reading be used to both build confidence in children and help abandonned dogs to trust humans again?

This strange-sounding question is what started the Shelter Buddies Reading Program, created by the Humane Society of Missouri.

Helping Dogs Relax !

The idea is to ask children and young people (between 6 and 15 years-old) to volunteer at the shelter in order to practice their reading and public speaking skills by reading one (or more!) book(s) to lonely dogs waiting in their kennel.

They freely decide which book(s) to read and the dog they want to read it to, they sit in front of him or her and initiate the first contact.

Jo Ellyn Klepacki, assistant director of the Missouri Humane Society explains that the goal of the program is to get the dogs to move from the back of the kennel to the front, as dogs staying near the front of their kennel get adopted more quickly than the others. Knowing this, it’s easy to understand how slowly adjusting them to the presence of kind humans can help them trust people again and find a new loving home faster.

“We started this for two reasons”, Klepacki adds, “Dogs in a shelter environment exhibit a lot of signs of anxiety and show stress signals, so we wanted to do something to comfort them. We have a lot of children in our area who are really engaged and they ask, ‘How can I help?’”

The program benefits both dogs and the young volunteers, who are able to practice their aloud-reading skills in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Thus also helping to tame their fear of audiences. The shelter encourages them to generally interact with the dogs as well, by talking to them and by passing them treats if they make their way to the front of the glass.

The program is a success, and you can still become a Reading Buddy now if you want to help!
