Diversification of channels allows messaging to reach the most potential attendees
Email blasts sent through SHHS to all students in the program, prospective and exploratory students, and students in related majors to get the attention of both those actively seeking out opportunities in their own major and those seeking out a real world idea of the type of career that can come of being a TESM major
Social media posting on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram to reach audiences on each platform through eye catching graphics to stop potential attendees from scrolling past the invitation
Flyers hung around the campus and kept in the SHHS office to catch the general IUPUI public or those attending advising sessions
Classroom marketing to serve as direct outreach within program through giving a presentation to classes and encouraging people to register upon hearing the presentation
While ultimately successful, the social media strategy was made difficult by the career fair promotion being fit in with the already established schedule of posts on the SHHS social media platforms.
