Notes

Promotion posts:

• Twitter allows us to schedule these, which we do weekly for the following week. If activated, the Mastodon Bot should automatically replicate these tweets on our Mastodon page.
• We must remember to manually log an X in the spreadsheets (ph-social-media-twitter-x and ph-social-media-mastodon) to record the evergreen promotion posts which have already been used.

Engagement posts:

• 'Supporters' posts include: encouraging new Institutional Partners; thanking renewals; welcoming new members; encouraging new individual donations
• 'Contributors' posts include: celebrating the number of contributors who have participated; sharing research published by members of the Project Team; sharing reviews, reports, interviews, etc. from the Research pages

(We are currently building a template bank for the engagement posts)
