Mykidstime.ie has been shortlisted for the 2011 Bord Gais Social Media Awards 2011.
Shortlisted in the category for Facebook Page for a Business (Owner Managed), Mykidstime.ie faces competition in this category from some huge companies such as Vodafone Ireland, 3, Tour America and Meteor Mobile.
Mykidstime.ie has been live since 2007, but they only started working cohesively on a Social Media presence in the last 12 months. As well as a main facebook page, (www.facebook.com/mykidstime) for the company, each county has its own local facebook page for parents. Myidstime has made great use of facebook customisation such as a welcome landing page and a Locations Tab where parents can pick their own county page to ‘like’ as well. These county pages are run by local parents so that all information is local, up to date and relevant to parents.
Other social media innovations that Mykidstime has introduced recently include Live Q&A sessions on topics of interest, for e.g. Nutrition for Families, Books for Kids, Education and even Politics during the recent General Election, where parents can quiz experts in real time using the Wall and generating interaction and discussion about the topic.
The number of Mykidstime.ie Facebook fans has grown over the last 12 months by over 300%.
Mykidstime.ie Director Jill Holtz said: “We have a very engaged community of loyal parents that we have built up over the last 12 months through our unique mix of content and delivery of our advertisers messages in a useful way that parents appreciate.”
Niall Devitt said: “I’m delighted to see Jill and the Mykidstime team make the finalists listing for the social media awards. I know how much they care about their community and the hard work they continue to put in.”
The winners of the 2011 Bord Gais Energy Social Media Awards 2011 will be announced in the Mansion House, Dublin on May 26th.
