FACT: Not everyone is going to care about your #nonprofit mission. 😥 Ouch, okay, sorry about that bluntness, but it's actually really good news. 🤔 So many nonprofits are trying to be everywhere...every social media platform, Google Ads, email, website, and on, and on…it’s enough to make anyone's head spin. 🛑 I’m giving you permission to not be everywhere. Cut back. Slow down! Here’s how you do it: Think about your mission. Think about yourself, your fellow staff members, your fellow volunteers. What is it about you that makes you resonate with your mission? Now think about where you find more people like you! 💡 When we can get more targeted with our "awareness" campaigns, we can find more relevant people, and (the best news of all) means we can work less and get more impact. Of course, it's more complicated than this blub. So this week, I'm teaching you how to do less by thinking just a little bit more strategically. And we're doing it in the framework of your #YearEndCampaign so that you can rock out your results this year. 📓 Learn more and download the workbook here: https://lnkd.in/d-UeMVxn

Emails are still a major player in direct marketing. As professionals, we have a mission to articulate our experiences in a way that inspires communities. By abbreviating these stories, we can build up our social standing in society, marketing, social networks, and charities. It's an investment! I believe emails with an attractive personal subject using the A.D.I.A. formula (Attention, Desire, Interest, Attraction) are key. And within the first two sentences, we must cast emotion with the W.I.I.F.M. formula (What's In It For Me!). Let's continue to harness the power of emails in our marketing efforts. #EmailMarketing #DirectMarketing #MarketingTips

Reminder for Marketers: Our audiences aren't just numbers and metrics! Recently, I worked with an organization for a half-day marketing planning session and I appreciated that the Executive Director spent a few minutes at the beginning talking about how relationships are at the core of what they do through fundraising. It's easy when discussing any type of marketing goals or metrics tied to dollars, to begin to view people as transactions and numbers—rather than people with souls, feelings, desires, and lives. When you begin to see your "audience" as less of an audience, and more of a community, then you'll start to speak to them like humans, and not just bank accounts that you're looking to withdraw more money from. And that might even sound like some weird manipulation to only treat people well so that you can somehow gain something in return. But that's not it at all. In fact, your role as a nonprofit marketer or fundraiser should be to help people understand why the work you're doing is some of the most important work in the world, and give them opportunities to get involved. If it's a good fit for them, then the next steps should be easy and frictionless. How do you remind yourself in marketing that people are more than just numbers and metrics? #digitalmarketing #nonprofit

A few days ago, we discussed the power of grassroots fundraising that engages with your community and builds personal connections. Today, let’s talk about how to build a strong community around your cause. To build a strong community around your cause, you need to know who your target audience and potential supporters are. Of course, this can be done by actually communicating with your audience on social media, at community events, and through networking.   After that, you have to keep the conversation going. Active listening, transparency, and empathy play a part in building trust and creating a sense of community. And if you’re constantly not giving your community what they need, you can forget about your efforts being successful.   Engaging your community is also needed to build and keep a strong network of supporters for your cause. Hosting events, creating social media campaigns, and leveraging personal networks are all great ways to make that happen.   Creating opportunities for your supporters to get involved and contribute to your cause is your main goal, so make sure you focus on those people and the cause over your overall fundraising goals.

It's clear that social media is important to your marketing strategy, but should you be investing in it?
