NONPROFIT INDUSTRY TRENDS – GENERATIONAL GIVING

WHO IS PAYING ATTENTION WHERE

“Social Media” (and Content)Social media = people. It’s the same thing humans have done since the dawn of time – connecting.Being where people are, when they are, how they prefer, with the information they want. On a phone...a computer...a tablet...at work, at home, anywhere.

People tend to universally like certain things: to be entertained, to learn, to save time, to save money, to be ahead of the curve, to feel inspired, to help others, to share, to grow. How does your Twitter strategy fit into the

humanness of marketing?

- Blackbaud, 2015 Charitable Giving Report

42% = amount of potentially wasted marketing without a mobile-friendly site

60%+ of all online activity is now mobile

Google says up to 70% of people abandon non-mobile sites on their phones almost immediately

Talk About What People Want To See or Read – Not What You Want To Talk About

For Content About You:

Who do you want to reach?What do you want them to know?

What do you want them to do?(And think about FAQs)

Places to Find Ideas• Borrow inspiration from people already doing a good job – ask your

friend Google for suggestions like:• Best blogs on x topic• Case studies best content on x topic• Case studies best social media for x industry • Industry leaders for x topic (or industry)

• Who’s popular for that topic or industry on Twitter? Pinterest? Facebook? LinkedIn? What do they talk about? What content gets the most interaction (retweets, likes, etc.)?• Who has a blog on that topic or in that industry with articles that

get shared a lot? Which articles do best?

Useful, Helpful, Relevant = Good Content

• Try to keep the conversation 80-90% about what interests your audience - and only 10-20% about your organization

• Sharing content that is relevant, helpful and useful to people who might give, advocate or volunteer is most productive.• What does your audience care about that is

only slightly related to your nonprofit?

• You can also talk about things all humans are interested in.

• Once your data is ingested into a Data Management Platform and matched, it can be used to reach current and potential audiences by:• Serving messages directly to the audience of

individuals matched within the DMP.• Creating audience profiles using your

database’s behaviors to help you understand who your current audience is and what messages to serve them.

• Building look-a-like audiences using those attributes to find additional similar people who may also be interested in giving, advocating, or volunteering
