Throwback Thursday opportunities for associations & nonprofits

A growing number of organizations (companies, churches, associations) have begun using Throwback Thursdays (TBT) as a social media strategy to promote elements of their organization.

What is Throwback Thursday?  

Throwback Thursday, better known as #TBT, is a weekly reminiscent photo movement that has taken off globally, particularly on Instagram.

Here are some examples:

Note that WI DECA's association marketing uses its #TBT to promote its 2014 COW (Chapter Opportunity Workshop) event.

Recent #TBTs from A-B (left), Novartis (center) and Dodge (right) promote the corporate brand.

By the way, #ThrowbackThursday on Twitter is a constant stream.  So, in addition to posting multiple times a day on Twitter, remember to cross post it to Facebook and other social media sites.

Is your organization using Throwback Thursdays to promote your association or its events?
