Use JE social networks to generate interest for your upcoming tour

This season Joshua Expeditions is making use of social media with our partner schools in mind. Now, more than ever before, you can use JE’s social platforms to help generate interest in your group’s upcoming tour!

	Our blog, Making a Difference, regularly spotlights exciting adventures and inspiring stories of student travelers sharing the love of Christ in communities around the world.
	On YouTube, the Joshua Expeditions Channel features a variety of destination videos that show our travelers exactly what can be expected on a JE tour.
	Following us on Twitter will introduce you to our complete catalogue of purpose-filled travel itineraries, as well as provide you with fun trivia about destinations worldwide.
	Facebook is currently our greatest online community, with the fans of Joshua Expeditions participating in discussions about their tours and posting photos and travel tips to share their adventures with a global audience.

This year, group leaders also have an exciting new opportunity to utilize Facebook specifically for their own tour groups. Joshua Expeditions has begun a new program to offer private Facebook sites to individual tour groups. With a private Facebook page customized for individual destinations, group leaders and members have the freedom to communicate with each other on Facebook in a closed, non-public environment where only approved members are able to see the discussions that take place. In essence, each tour group will have a private forum where members can discuss all aspects of their upcoming tour and group leaders can communicate information in a quick and effective manner… on Facebook, where most everyone is hanging out anyway!

Contact us today to learn more about creating a private Facebook site for your own JE tour group. And be sure to follow us on one (or all) of our social networks to stay informed of upcoming events. We look forward to connecting with you!
