How to Use the Social Media Resources

Social media posts allow you to easily distribute WIC messages and materials to your audience. Use your organization’s social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. to share important information about specific campaigns and outreach initiatives. On the linked pages, you will find graphics and tailored posts that you can use to share and promote on your social media channels.

Here are a few quick tips to help you make the most of your social media posts:

• Abide by State and Local WIC agency policies and procedures regarding social media use. When in doubt, contact your WIC office.

• Be sure to keep your posts brief. People are more likely to read short posts than lengthy ones.

• Connect with partners. Ask them to share the posts or promote the content.

• Use the hashtag(s) on to label your message which allows people to group and sort posts with that hashtag.

• Engage with our social media handles through likes, mentions, and shares.

• Download images that are sized appropriately for each platform.
