Twitter activity was relatively strong in August, with a 24% increase in the number of impressions compared to the previous m onth. There was a fall in Twitter followers this month for the first time this year, however this is likely linked to Twitter's rem oval of inactive and inappropriate accounts this summer. Following a particularly popular post on Facebook in July as part of the women and back p ain story, there was a fall in the overall reach and engagement on Facebook this month. Depsite this however, the number of impressions from these posts remained constant. The BCA website also experienced a 17% increase in visits to the 'Find a Chiropractor' page in August, driving business to BC A members.
