Social Media (Facebook – National & Chapter pages)

The scheduling of all external advertising posts and events is organised in consultation and coordination with our Social Media Manager Catherine: socialmedia@austa.asn.au

The advertising of products can be negotiated with freebies and giveaways as deemed appropriate by the Social Media Manager, and the discretion of the National Executive Committee. The Social Media Manager organises this service.

There are Facebook pages for each chapter, as well as a National Facebook page:

Facebook pages are designed to let the community know about AUSTA events and news of interest to AUSTA members.

Products, events, and services can be promoted on social media in two ways:

  1. Paid posts ($30 one post, $50 two posts plus GST) or
  2. Unpaid Special Promotions (which include eg. the offering of free tickets or products for a giveaway promotion, or the offering of discounted products/tickets with a minimum 20% discount for AUSTA members).

Examples: A new syllabus, an event from an arts organisation, a new rosin on the market, etc.

Rates: $30 for 1 post $50 for 2 posts plus GST regardless of membership status

Advertising will be posted on the Facebook page of the relevant chapter or chapters unless it is a service applicable to our national members. In this case it will be posted on the National Facebook page.

Facebook pages are designed to let the community know about AUSTA events and news of interest to AUSTA members.
