Focus on Non-Profits
Nonprofits have been slower in embracing social
media than for-profit businesses, but those
organizations that have are leveraging benefits.
Using social media as part of an overall digital
marketing strategy makes connecting with donors,
volunteers and supporters at home and in the
Diaspora easy and inexpensive. It’s also a
powerful and cost-effective method for reaching
potential financiers and raising funds.

Crafting and implementation of a social
marketing strategy:
Having a purposeful website is not enough, no
matter how attractive it looks and how great a
content it boasts. A strategy for growing and
engaging your audience must be established
and put to work. Social media is a great way to
make connections with those not yet aware of
your organization and foster stronger relations
with those who already know of your cause.

List building/email marketing
This begins by having a form on your site and
select social media pages that makes it
seamless for people to hear from you at your
will. A list of email subscribers makes it easy for
you connect with qualified people who want to
hear from you and can be used for fundraising
initiatives, updating on the progress of projects
and any other information deemed worthy of
sharing.
