- PULL OUT VALUE OF OTHER TYPES OF MEDIUMSEmail - remains #1 driver compared to Sm for donations
- How messages should be different: ASK WHO HAS NEWSlETTER AND EAMIL LISTSExample – personalizing emailsSocial media – about reaching a broader audience
- Since the title of this presentation is “Getting the Most out of Facebook for Online Fundraising” I think you’ll want me to go straight to talk about messaging for getting donations. But I’m not going to. First, I want to get you to engagement. What we want to help you do is learn how to engage them (and why it’s important to) in order GROW YOUR FAN BASE and also BRIDGE the gap from engaged fans to donors.

- BEST PRACTICES OF GLOBALGIVING
- Can’t just focus on “awareness” and bark at the window all the time. Need to listen to what people are saying and join in.
- Conversations are different on Twitter (where you are limited to 140 characters) and FacebookThe two mediums use different methods of ranking content – it is harder to get your information seen on Facebook than on Twitter BUT, for GlobalGiving, Facebook is a larger drive of donations
- Too many messages can cause less engagement
- Too many messages can cause less engagement
