===Project 1: Online Promotion on Social Media.===
We will leverage popular platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and thread to raise students’ awareness about our friendship-building activities. Aiming to attract students from diverse backgrounds to participate, we will post engaging and interactive posts regularly. We believe that this approach could fosters a vibrant online community, making it easier for students to connect before attending events in person. <br />
====Key Tactics:====
*Regular posting feeds on various social media platform, make some noise in HKBU
*Reach out different schools/departments for promotion support
*Use videos, stories, polls, and challenges that resonate with students’ interests and campus life to capture attention and encourage interaction
<br />
===Project 2: Promotional Booth===
Apart from online promotion, we will hold a Promotional Booth event where students can learn more about friendship-building activities, sign up for events, and interact with friendly volunteers. It will be strategically located in a high-traffic area to maximize students’ engagement. Games, photo opportunities, and giveaways will be incorporated to attract students and break the ice, making it easier for them to start conversations and build connections. We hope this physical interaction complements the online promotion by providing a vibrant space for students to take the next step in making new friends.

===Project 3: Invite some popular guests to be in our activity===
Inviting some popular guests, such as well-known student leaders, campus celebrities, or local influencers, to participate in our friendship-building activities. Their presence will create excitement and draw more students to the events, leveraging their social influence to encourage participation. These guests can engage with attendees through chatting and interactive sessions, making the activities more memorable and appealing. This strategy fosters a lively, inclusive atmosphere where students feel motivated to connect and make new friends.
