The Juntos Program

Put the most important information first in the caption. Save your hashtags and mentions for last. You can either put hashtags in your caption or post them in a comment below; just be consistent.

The best time to post on Instagram for engagement is Wednesday at 11 a.m. and Friday from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. During COVID-19, the number of peak times during the week expanded to Monday, Tuesday, and Friday at 11 a.m. and Tuesday at 2 p.m. The best time to post for student engagement is Friday at 10 a.m.

Create a call to action in Instagram bios, i.e., highlight specific hashtags you want the audience to use for increased engagement.

Use Instagram story features. These features include ”Ask Me a Question,” where you ask your followers a question and th ey vote between two alternatives. The “Ask Me a Question” feature is where your followers ask the Juntos Instagram page a question, and you respond in your stories. There is also a polling option, which could be an interactive way to teach your audience about the Juntos program.

This is a tool to send mass emails/updates to past/current partners. As the program grows in your state and/or county, you will want to send mass updates and highlights to your stakeholders, funders, partners, etc.

Recommendations on frequency and topics are found in the Annual Engagement Timeline.
