Social Media Efforts Accelerates Central City, NE Economic Development and Governing Efforts
New website and social media tools prove effective for showcase community in Central Nebraska
CENTRAL CITY, NE, September 12, 2011 /Internet PR News/ -- Known for its strong work ethic, strong business support, and relaxed way of life, Central City, NE has found a simple way to communicate with its residents: social media. While most cities are still trying to understand the power of social media, Central City, NE is reaping the benefits of communicating directly with residents.
According to City Administrator Chris Anderson social media has been a positive addition to the city processes:
"We were surprised by the quick success of our social media efforts! Within a day or two of establishing our Facebook page, we had over 100 friends. Only weeks later, we are approaching 600, which represents over 20% of the entire community population. Our friends at Golden Shovel Agency have patiently trained us, prodded us along, and have helped us create a most effective tool for communicating with our residents."
Early in 2011, Central City, NE partnered with Golden Shovel Agency to redesign their community website and launch a social media strategy. Within two months of launching a Facebook, Twitter, and Website campaign, Anderson witnessed a communication transformation.
"We never had an effective means of rapidly disseminating time-sensitive information. I believe our social media strategy is dramatically improving our ability to best serve our residents."
Using the GateKeeper social media services, Central City, NE is kept current with social media tools. Each week members of the Central City staff are trained in social media techniques and new content is reviewed to help keep the information flowing smoothly across all the social media channels.
According to Ron Kresha, President of Golden Shovel, the online solution provides Central City with the comprehensive online solution to reach potential new businesses and new residents seeking to transition from a larger city environment to a "small town" with a great quality of life.
