WHAT TO SHARE?
You might be a social media master, in which case you know what you’re doing! But here are a few tips. At TMY, we see audiences of 150,000 people every year. While not all of them may see your Insta feed or your Facebook posts, you will very likely reach new people when you publicize your event or performance. We suggest taking a little extra time to educate audiences about you.
Consider sharing:
- Info about particular customs or traditions from your culture.
- What you love most about sharing your culture at TMY.
- What you hope people at TMY walk away with after eating your food, seeing your performance, or watching your presentation
- Images and videos of dishes, performances, cultural artifacts/artwork, and people!
- For food vendors: if any of your dishes are vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free.
- Stories and reels DURING the festival weekend.
RESHARE
Ask your followers to share what you post. And re-share other posts from our account and from fellow TMY artists, vendors, and presenters.
