How to Tackle Social Media in the Time of Coronavirus & Times of UnrestJulia Campbell
Human behavior is shifting towards online and digital as we social distance and slowly open our economies, carefully, to slow the spread of COVID-19. People are staying inside, working remotely, and as a result, the in-person events, gatherings, and other celebrations that so many of us have counted on to build our communities are changing.
Nonprofits, libraries, and organizations across the globe are asking:
How can we continue to post on social media about changes occuring due to the pandemic?
How can we stay focused on mission-related content while still addressing COVID-19 and current events and unrest?
How do we as communicators start thinking about the best ways to get our message across and to connect with our followers in a different way, in this new environment?
We'll tackle all of these questions and more, and you'll be on your way to creating a crisis-proof social media strategy to guide your organization in years to come.

How to Implement a Mobile Strategy for Your NonprofitJulia Campbell
In 2015, more of your supporters will visit your website from a mobile device than from their desktop computer.

Implementing a mobile strategy is no longer an option for nonprofits. Today's webinar with NonprofitReady detailed the reasons that your nonprofit cannot ignore mobile, and offered 8 ways to begin to implement your strategy.

Top Trends from SXSW Interactive 2014. The Big Roundup.Ashika Chauhan

The deck covers the most prominent trends from this year. I'd love to hear your thoughts, say hello @ashikachauhan.

5 Habits of Successful Nonprofit Social Media Managers in 2020Julia Campbell
In the world of nonprofit social media, the landscape is changing so rapidly, and it’s becoming harder and harder to build community in our hyper-connected world.
Three billion people, around 40% of the world’s population, use social media – spending an average of two hours every day sharing, liking, tweeting and updating on these platforms.
That breaks down to around half a million tweets and Snapchat photos shared every minute. Whew!
Not only is social media use showing no signs of slowing down, yesterday’s tried-and-true growth drivers are becoming increasingly obsolete, demographic shifts are resetting donor expectations, and the promise of technology to reach new supporters has never been more real.
There is a lot on the plate of the modern nonprofit social media manager.
It’s getting harder to manage the chaos, avoid burnout, and do your work more effectively and efficiently without losing your mind.
To help you get focused, I recommend adopting these five habits in the New Year.

how does it work?
“A chatbot is a service,
powered by rules and
sometimes artificial
intelligence, that you
interact with via a chat
interface. The service
could be any number of
things, ranging from
functional to fun, and it
could live in any major
chat product (Facebook
Messenger, Slack,
Telegram, Text Messages,
etc.).”

Beginner’s Guide To
Chatbots
16. WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT
CHATBOTS?
A quarter of all downloaded apps are abandoned after a single use.
Only instant messaging bucks the trend.
The market’s leading duo, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, which
is also owned by Facebook, are nearing one billion monthly users
each.
Many teenagers now spend more time on smartphones sending
instant messages than perusing social networks.

THEM?
They can make our lives
easier!
Top benefits of
chatbots are:
24-hour service (64%)
Instant responses to

21. AI AND VISUAL SEARCH
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Visual search uses artificial
intelligence technology to
help people search through
the use of real-world
imagery, rather than
through text search.
When customers undertake a
visual search, they look for a
product with a photo or other
image instead of the
keywords normally used in
search engines.
22. HOW IS VISUAL
SEARCH USED?
When customers undertake a visual search, they
look for a product with a photo or other image
instead of the keywords normally used in search
engines.
Shoppers can take a picture of something they
want to buy, upload it to the visual search engine
of their choice—such as Google Images or
Pinterest Lens—and immediately see visually
similar items available to purchase.
Shortened path from search to conversation
Integrating online and offline experiences
Social proof and word of mouth
Easy tracking and measuring of success
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
23. EXAMPLE: TARGET
Target integrated Pinterest’s
visual search tool, Pinterest Lens,
into its own mobile app.
From inside a Target store,
customers can snap a picture of
any product and the app will pull
up similar items.
Action Step: Integrate Pinterest’s
Save button into your website to
make your products as easy to
find as those of leading brands.

Launched in 2011 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear, the
online video platform is comparable to sites like YouTube
or Vimeo, except that it focuses exclusively on live video.
15 million users tune in to watch an average of 1.5 hours
of Twitch live streams each day.

Augmented reality experiences like 360-
degree photos are exploding in popularity,
especially on Facebook.
This is where you can place yourself at the
center of the experience and use “360

activists, students, artists, churchgoers, and other advocates for climate action at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani Memorial in
Quezon City.
The virtual march is part of the Rise For Climate global day of action on September 8, which includes over 700 other actions in 88
countries.

39. EPHEMERAL
CONTENT AND
STORIES
Ephemeral content is content
– videos and photos – that
disappear after 24 hours.
Snapchat
Instagram Stories
Facebook Stories
Twitter Fleets
LinkedIn Stories
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
40. BENEFITS OF
STORIES
Stories are incredibly popular and run
in chronological order – no algorithm
here!
Stories put a more human face on
your nonprofit and make it more
accessible.
Stories create a sense of urgency and
relevancy by sharing photos and video
snippets as they happen – your
followers don’t want to miss a thing.
The benefit – we want to be connected
to the causes and people we follow
every day!

43. THE TIKTOK
REVOLUTION
TikTok was the second most-downloaded
app last year, with 1.5 billion downloads.
What works best on the app:
TikTok is built for music
Humor
Entertainment
Surprise
Relatability
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
44. WHY PEOPLE
LOVE IT
Very accessible – anyone can
set it up and use it in just a few
seconds.
Low-fi video focused on
transitions, video effects, and
sound, more than it is on filters
that change your body.
Audience generosity and
engagement.
Easy-to-do creative concepts.
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
46. INSTAGRAM REELS
VS. TIKTOK
If you’re looking to reach a Gen Z
audience, TikTok may be the place to be.
If you’re looking to buffer up your
Instagram strategy and grow your
following there, Instagram Reels is a
great place to get more visibility and
exposure.
The TikTok “For You” Page (FYP) (the
algorithm) is very customized to your
interests, whereas the Instagram Reels
Explore Page is a “melting pot” of
content.
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
49. WHAT IS AN INFLUENCER?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Individuals that have a dedicated social following and are viewed as trusted
sources of information. (There is not required number of fans and followers to be
an influencer.)
This translates into social proof for what you are selling, advertising, promoting.
51. AUTHENTICITY IS
BACK!
Taylor Lorenz wrote an
article in The
Atlantic forecasting a more
‘authentic’ trend driven by
the network’s youngest
users that strives to return
to what Instagram used to
look like when your feed
was just friends.
Lorenz wrote, “While
Millennial influencers
hauled DSLR cameras to
the beach and mastered
photo editing to get the
perfect shot, the
generation younger than
they are largely post
directly from their mobile
phones.”
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
54. HOW TO USE THIS TREND
Research is the first step. Choose which platform you want to focus
on.
Set a budget if you plan on working with people with large followings.
Decide on goals and message. How will you know success?
Does the influencer already post about similar things to your service?
Are they legit?
Have they worked with similar brands before?
Reach out to them and see what happens!
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
57. HOW TO USE AUDIO
PLATFORMS
Marketing and communications are all about
building trust.
Be seen as an indispensable, go-to resource in
your industry!
Optimize your brand bio. What are people
searching for? You only have a short time to
grab them and get them interested.

58. HOW TO USE
AUDIO
PLATFORMS
Listen and participate –
join the rooms and
conversations where your

WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
60. MY RECOMMENDATIONS
TO FUTURE-PROOF YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Meet your donors
where they are, not
where you want them
to be.
Make every interaction
as frictionless (and
clear) as possible.
Always consider the
DONOR POV first when
revamping your
website, writing that
email welcome series,
and sharing content on
social media.
61. MY RECOMMENDATIONS TO
FUTURE-PROOF YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS
Focus on building your email list with
people who sign up and want to be there.
Create a strategic plan to move your social
media fans and followers to your email list.
Do not worry about unsubscribes! They
just weren’t that into you anyway.
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
62. MY RECOMMENDATIONS
TO FUTURE-PROOF YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Don’t get
overwhelmed.
The only constant in
online marketing is
that it’s constantly
changing.
Platforms come and go.
Focus on building a
real community that
will follow you no
matter where you set
up shop.
65. DO NOT
START WITH
THE TOOLS.
“Getting on Facebook”
“Start tweeting”
“Get 5,000 fans”
THERE ARE NOT GOALS –
they are tactics to get to
your goals
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
67. TWO MAIN AUDIENCE SEGMENTS:
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
The people who
are already with
you and have an
interest in what
you do.
The people you
need to reach
and to engage in
order to
accomplish your
goals.
68. KNOW YOUR
CURRENT
AUDIENCE.
What do your supporters really value?
What do they want to know more about as
related to our nonprofit and our work?
What motivates them?
What drives them to participate?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
71. IDENTIFY WHO YOU NEED TO
ATTRACT.
Why is this target audience important –
specifically, how will they help you
accomplish your goal?
What might they already know about
you?
What may drive them to take the action
that you want?
Where do they get their information?
What else is important to them in
creating a meaningful life and how can
your nonprofit fit in?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
72. DON’T “CUT
THROUGH THE
CLUTTER”.
A better question:
How do we cultivate, nurture, and inspire
a wildly passionate group of supporters
that actually care about what we do?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
73. WHAT IS THE INCENTIVE FOR YOUR
AUDIENCE?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Follow you on Facebook – what’s in it for them?
Join your email list – what’s in it for them?
Visit your website – what’s it in for them?
How can your digital comms entice and inspire
participation?
78. WHEN YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU WANT TO
ACHIEVE AND WHO
YOU NEED TO REACH,
YOU CAN CHOOSE
YOUR CHANNELS.
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
79. HOW TO CHOOSE?
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Which online platforms
will help us reach our
target audience and get
them to take the action
we desire?
Those are the
platforms and channels
that you focus on.
Don’t be afraid to
break up with social
media platforms that
aren’t working!

93. 3 KEYS TO DIGITAL MARKETING
SUCCESS
Confidence – in your voice, in your mission, and in
taking risks.
Consistency – showing up regularly for your
community (especially when you aren’t asking for
anything).
Creating content that people like to watch, read,
share, comment on. Follow the 80/20 rule!
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
94. BE
PROACTIVE
– NOT JUST
REACTIVE.
WWW.JCSOCIALMARKETING.COM
Now is not the time to let people forget that
your cooperative exists.
Now is the time to show people how
effectively you stand for your mission and
your community – both when your physical
doors are open and when they are closed.
The COVID-19 pandemic, the election, and racial justice protests have upended the entire nonprofit landscape. It is no longer business as usual for nonprofit fundraisers.
With all the noise on social media, along with serious ethical considerations clouding the platforms, how can we continue to reach our audiences and spread our messages online?
Each generation living today has come of age with profoundly different experiences concerning mass communication and fundraising, and these differences directly impact how they give to nonprofits.
Seniors who came age during the era of print media still prefer print communications
The same is mostly true of baby boomers, however, they are young enough to be experiencing the rise of new media in their daily lives which consequently is impacting their life-long giving habits.
Gen X and gen Y both came of age during the rise mass Internet communications and increasingly shun print communications while adapting quickly to new trends in mobile and social giving.
Gen Z who will come of age in a post-print era will be connecting to causes and giving to nonprofits through technologies that haven’t been invented yet.
Social media started as a way for people to connect and communicate with friends and family. However, as it became more and more popular, brands began recognizing it as a great opportunity to interact with their target audiences and customers, as well as to expand their reach and grow.
Due to the rise of online shopping and the amount of time people spend on social media, social media impacts consumer buying decisions.
for the first time ever people are using messenger apps more than they are using social networks
Many customers prefer interacting with chatbots as they are responsive 24/7, give answers promptly, accurately recall your entire buying history, and never lose patience. These virtual assistants offer outstanding customer service by meeting customers’ expectations and automating repetitive tasks – which means that you can focus on more important work.
One exciting example of AI in practice is chatbots (more on that later). Mastercard created a Facebook messenger bot – which uses natural language processing software to decipher what the customer wants and respond as if it were a real person – to automate handling payments:
Visual search uses artificial intelligence technology to help people search through the use of real-world imagery, rather than through text search.
So, when a person takes a photograph of an object, using Google Lens, for instance, the software identifies the object within the picture and provides information and search results to the user.

So, when a person takes a photograph of an object, using Google Lens, for instance, the software identifies the object within the picture and provides information and search results to the user.
This technology is particularly useful for eCommerce stores and brands, and with the implementation of well-optimized content, they could stand the chance of being the returned search result for a user.
A company that appears for the result of a popular search query could stand to make a lot of money.

Word of mouth isn’t worth much if customers can’t figure out where that celebrity’s shoes came from or who made their favorite YouTube star’s go-to mascara. Visual search can help you bridge that gap by providing a direct connection between these favorite products and your brand.
Visual search performance is something retailers can track and measure easily. If a customer uses visual search and goes on to buy that product (or a similar product), it’s easy to trace that sale back to visual search—even without a custom app or search engine.
Target dove into visual search headfirst by integrating Pinterest’s visual search tool, Pinterest Lens, into its own mobile app. From inside a Target store, customers can snap a picture of any product and the app will pull up similar items. This makes it easier for customers to browse products they’re actually looking to buy, instead of Target’s entire extensive product catalog. It also allows customers to see a full lineup of options rather than just what’s available in that one store.
Visual search through Pinterest Lens also helps Target capitalize on the social network’s retail goldmine.

The Seize the Awkward campaign encourages teens and young adults to have difficult conversations about mental health by prompting them to reach out to friends or peers who may be at risk for suicide.
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
In 2015, Pencils of Promise wanted to increase donations at their annual celebrity-studded gala and used a VR experience to do so.
PoP knew if they could show attendees what it was like to go to school in a developing nation, it could create an unmatched emotional connection that might inspire more donations for their students. So, at their gala, they gave attendees VR headsets that transported them to a school in Ghana.
The results were stunning. The VR experience helped PoP raise an additional $500,000 for a total of $2.4 million that evening in response. Plus, their video was viewed nearly two million times on Facebook.

Your nonprofit should always be trying to connect with and build up new audiences – don’t rule it out just b/c your baby boomer donors don’t use Stories.
And that coveted younger audience you want to reach so desperately? They are on there!

Once assumed as a channel that’s just for kids, the TikTok user-base is diversifying fast with brands, influencers, YouTubers, parents, and even grandparents joining the fun.
Built for music It’s so easy to add tracks to your videos in the app — they’re segmented out by dance crazes, “LOL Sounds”, viral tracks, and a pretty broad list of genres and moods.
Low-fi video: Post-production is done in the app using native tools, and the editing is focused on transitions, video effects, and sound, more than it is on filters that make you look more tanned or change your face or body.
TikTok’s has a unique audience. The majority of TikTokkers are young, so spontaneous, and generous with reactions to content — likes, shares and comments — so videos easily take off reaching hundreds of thousands of views much faster than other platforms.
TikTokkers take trends and put their own spin on them, while the linked music and hashtags are the common thread pulling the remixes together. Overall, what works on TikTok are concepts that people can easily recreate which have an element of fun, surprise, and a track that is both catchy and of-the-moment.
TikTok also has a fairly level playing field when it comes to achieving viral status on the app. Unlike Instagram or YouTube, even accounts with zero followers can get millions of views on a new video. Content really is king on TikTok.
Publishers like The Washington Post have amassed followings of 400K+ in under a year, positioning themselves as a creative powerhouse and potentially shifting their reach to a new, more global, and younger demographic in the process.
With the rising popularity of TikTok, Instagram introduced Instagram Reels — a new way for users to record 15 to 30-second videos set to music.
Another major difference between the platform’s video tools is TikTok’s Duet, Reaction, and Stitch features.
These features are a fun way for brands and businesses to creatively interact and engage with users in their community (and grow their reach even further!).
Currently, on Instagram Reels, there is nothing like the Duet or Stitch feature — users can only record their own footage or upload content from their camera roll.
At a fundamental level, influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that uses endorsements and product mentions from influencers–individuals who have a dedicated social following and are viewed as experts within their niche. Influencer marketing works because of the high amount of trust that social influencers have built up with their following, and recommendations from them serve as a form of social proof to your brand’s potential customers.

Ideas for creating great social media content your audience will love no matter the platform
For example, if one of your goals is to build up your peer-to-peer fundraising program, but your current audience is made up of baby boomers and matures, you may need to target younger donors more comfortable with technology and social media fundraising.
If you want to start a text advocacy campaign, and your supporters don’t have smartphones, trying to reach civically-engaged digital natives, 20 and 30-year-olds comfortable with mobile technology, may be your desired audience.
If you have determined that you need to reach and engage an entirely new audience, answer the following questions:
The only solution to the digital clutter problem is to craft inspiring, relevant communications designed for your target audience, asking them for their attention and earning their participation. This is why we spent so much time in the previous section identifying who you are engaging with and what action you want them to take – different messages inspire different actions.
Creating engaging, well-received content is the name of the social media game.
The best way to create your own high-performing social media content strategy is by completing the 3 steps that we will cover today:
Brainstorm Content Categories that are laser-focused on your target audience and to your specific nonprofit;
List out several different Content Types, based on what works on each social media platform, as well as the technical capacity and resources of your org;
Put the Content Categories and the Content Types together into a Content Calendar.
