Social media has become the most influential and important virtual space to network, build a community, promote what you do, find assistance, sell books and events and connect. Social media networks are open to all and they are free, giving historical societies a chance to connect with whoever shares their interests.

For historical societies it is a volunteer task that will attract younger members and it can be done anywhere, anytime so doesn’t have time or geographic restraints.

Jess Scott, the RHSV Marketing Officer, will lead these marketing conversations, starting with Facebook on the 9th of August. She will cover other social media channels in coming months. These are casual conversational forums so bring your questions and concerns. We already have a number of historical societies which use social media exceptionally well – creating virtual events as well as promoting what they do – we’ll be calling on them in future sessions to share the expertise too.

A few facts, since Jess started with the RHSV in mid- 2019 our bookshop sales have doubled, we weathered COVID lock-downs exceptionally well because we were still active in the virtual world and our new members are on target to double this year – all in 2 years.
