Promote to reach your audience

Creating compelling Foleon Docs is only half the battle. If your content isn’t distributed for maximum reach, it risks getting lost among the many pieces of content you publish and never truly taking off. That's why we want to emphasize the importance of promoting your content 📢

Internal promotion

If your Foleon Doc is for an internal audience, well-planned internal distribution is obvious. That being said, internal comms can be just as essential for externally facing content.

In today's crowded digital realm, your strongest promotion channel might just be your own team 💡 

The more people in your organization know about your new Foleon Doc, the higher the chance you can harness their network to spread the word. 

That's why the internal promotion of your new Foleon Doc is a no-brainer. There are a few channels you can consider to promote your new Doc within your organization:

• • Instant messaging 💬
    Post a message on the instant messaging platform that your company uses, e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx. Make sure to include why you've created this Doc. 

  • Intranet or company portal 🕳️
    Communicate in a centralized platform for company-wide information. If other employees are given the opportunity to engage with the Doc and ask questions, even better!

  • Newsletter 📬
    Does your communications department have a regular internal newsletter? Ask them to include your new Foleon Doc as one of the topics. Make your team excited by adding personal context about why and how the Doc came together. 

  • Team meeting 🏢
    If you can take the stage during a team, department, or company meeting, go for it! Giving a live demo of the Foleon Doc can do wonders for conveying how engaging your new content is.

  • Email 📩
    Last but not least. Sending a good-old email is still a valuable way of reaching your internal audience. Benefit from reaching multiple recipients simultaneously and getting into the nitty gritty.

It's up to you to determine which blend of internal communication channels to use. To help you get started, we've created a short message template below that you can adapt to your liking:
