The world you fundraise in has fundamentally shifted—your supporters are hyper-connected, live inside personal feeds, and are continually ambushed with messages vying for their attention. These shifts have made it challenging to cultivate donor relationships and reach new donors.

In this session, we’ll show you exactly how you can too by highlighting how leaders at arts, animal, and advocacy to cancer, crisis relief, and community-service nonprofits are successfully leveraging peer-to-peer initiatives to strengthen donor relationships and reach new donors.
Learning Objectives:
*Why peer-to-peer is not a tactic but rather an approach you can incorporate into fundraising efforts all year
*Different types of peer-to-peer initiatives and how to effectively plan and coordinate into your fundraising plan
*How to activate and rally your supporters to advocate for your cause, helping you reach new donors

After The Honeymoon: Keeping Your Social Media Audience Engaged For the Long ...Donnie Clapp
In "Finding Your Voice: Creating Strong Bonds with Your Customers via Social Media", I talked about how speaking authentically to your brand's audience is no different, in the end, than hanging out with your best friends. Both become easy when you let go of pretension and allow your true self to show through.
Now, in "After The Honeymoon: Keeping Your Social Media Audience Engaged For the Long Term", I talk about how being successful long-term is like a successful marriage: difficult but possible, and very dependent on working to keep the passion alive through constant communication.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

An L.A. blogger described it this way:
I have to admit that, when I first saw those electric billboards, my reaction was,
here we go again, replacing an object that doesn’t require energy consumption
with one that does. A brighter billboard – how does that make a difference, other
than more carbon emissions? Then, here in Los Angeles, along came The
Sound, KSWD 100.3, with their new ad campaign. And it’s brilliant. Simple and
brilliant. Up pops the logo, and in the lower right corner, in real time, the song and
the artist being played at that moment on the station.I have flipped to that station
at least a dozen times to hear the song.
This is a game changer.
