Executive Summary

Our social media marketing strategy is a summary of everything we as an organization plan to do and hope to achieve with the use of social media. It is intended to guide our actions and to be measurable, concise and goal focused. In its basic form, it will let us know whether we are succeeding or failing at achieving our targets. Every post, reply, like, and comment should serve a purpose.

The marketing strategy at Bonivital is meant to be focused on three basic goals that most successful organizations strive to achieve.

1. Brand Awareness. Bonivital Soccers marketing strategy will be focused firstly on broadening our brand awareness. In today’s competitive climate for attracting families and players, we must first ensure that our target audience is aware of the benefits of being a member of the Bonivital Soccer Club. From early development opportunities, to the strength of our programs, our top-quality staff, and our sense of community and focus on producing top level players and community ambassadors, we must “push the message” to our target audience in many ways, and social media has become a very successful tool to progressive organizations looking to broaden their reach.

2. Engagement. Our social media platforms will be used as a tool to keep not only our current members fully engaged and interested in the goings on at the club, but as an advertisement to prospective members about our programs, our successes and the value of being a member of the club.

3. Community. In recent years, we as an organization have not recognized the importance of maintaining a steady and insightful communication path with the families that call Bonivital home. Our new strategy is to create an exciting and engaged community spirit, both within the soccer community, and the greater civic arena. Engagement with the community breeds success and recognition. In our ever-changing soccer environment, a sense of community and belonging is key not only to our success, but to the growth and well-being of our players.

These ideals are the focus of our strategy, a strategy that aims to place Bonivital Soccer at the very top of the soccer pyramid within our province. Through Brand Awareness, Engagement and Community, social media platforms provide us with tools for success. We must, therefore, use these tools properly and to their full potential. By expanding, monitoring and adapting our social media presence, we will succeed.
