Editor's Notes

  • #4 Important to stand out from other non profits, maximize impact, save time.
  • #5 We are not buying advertising, we are conveying a message to a select audienceWhether you are buying media or asking for in-kind this is very important to take a strategic approach and make sure you are maximizing your partnership with the media
  • #6 .The tighter you define and understand this, the better What age, what sex, what race, etcWhat are there media habits…what media do they sped their day with? No research, but use your common sense. Questions on this in Q&AWhat are trying to convey. What do we want people to do? Again, we are not buying ads or asking for in-kind ads. We are trying to communicate an idea to people. Print…dominant, subdominant etc, not a laundry list.What is available, not what is my favorite station, or this is the most popular. Take your personal preferences out of the equationMatch the media to the target audience.
  • #8 Potential being key…no one sees of hears everything
  • #9 How many times did they see the ad, see the commercial, or hear the radio spot
  • #11 This is like a newspapers circulationQuestion – Is it better to reach 1000 people 1 time or 100 people 10 times?
  • #12 So if we are looking for women, we would use media that best targets this consumer segment
  • #21 Race signage, tv-shirts, social media, posters, mailings, pr, banners
  • #22 What do you want and what are you want to get and what are you willing to giveMedia partners are are bombarded by non profits we need separate ourselves from others
