Report on NPSS Facebook Page

Stefan Ritt

AdCom Paris, July 19st 2014

New NPSS Facebook page online since March 2nd 2014

Idea

Rapid communication to our members– Web site is not watched often

– Newsletter only 4x per year

– Email notifications end up in spam folder

Social Media allows quick info to the people being interested in this info– Receive information through subscription (“Like”, “Follower”)

– Announcement of conference deadlines a few days before the deadline

– Announcement of award winners

– Information about new publications, newsletters …

Some examples (CANPS biased…)
