Editor's Notes
Although many find poetry intimidating, the benefits outweigh the struggles.
Convey emotions
Express ideas
Create something beautify from otherwise ordinary words
Tell a story
Paid Media: Positive publicity gained through paid advertising
Owned Media: Promotion channels that you control, such as your website, Facebook Page and Twitter account.
Earned Media: Positive publicity gained through promotional efforts other than advertising.
Your website should be the hub for all marketing, messaging, and activity.
All advertising – paid, earned, or owned – should include your website URL
Your website should be the information source for volunteers, donors, media, and anyone else wanting to learn more about you and your mission.
Host a blog or news site that is updated regularly – talk about what you are doing, who you are serving, the results of your efforts, and how to get involved
Optimize your site so that visitors can quickly DO the one thing you want them to do (donate, volunteer, join a mailing list)
Owned and Earned Media
This is the section that most marketers equate with inbound marketing – publish lots of owned and earned blog posts and articles frequently, organically distribute them through social media and watch Google drive traffic. This process produces a lot of benefits, but without a strategy for the other sections it will be difficult to show real ROI.
Purpose: Generate traffic, educate prospects, grow brand, produce thought leadership, build community, produce outside advocates, reduce churn
Tip: Publish blog posts with frequency and consistency. According to Kuno Creative’s Content Marketing Manifesto, publishing five to ten posts per week led to a 633% increase in leads versus just two to three posts per week.
Landing Pages
This is a critical aspect of an inbound marketing campaign. Having lots of good free content is great, but morally bribing website visitors for their email and IP address using gated content is just as important. Once this information is captured, the visitor is no longer anonymous and their content consumption can be tracked and scored. It also allows for future email communication.
Purpose: Capture email and IP addresses
Tip: Analyze and value the inbound and outbound marketing channels that led to conversion with attribution modeling. Use this data to adjust tactics in the first section.

Maximize the return on your earned media. ASK followers to get involved by sharing, commenting, and engaging.
1.) Create content on your blog [owned]. Share it on Facebook [to generate earned]. However, you only reach about 10% of your fan base, according to statistics. To extend your reach, make it a Sponsored Post for $40 or $60 [paid] to get wider visibility for it.
2.) Crowdsource some advice and tips from your customers or loyal community members, for an ebook on your website [owned]. Then share it on your company channel on Slideshare. And reach out individually by email to send a copy of the ebook to each community member who submitted a tip. Most will share the ebook with their social networks, as they will be proud of their contribution [and you generate more earned mentions].
3.) Pay some influencers [paid] to create interesting and shareable content for your company blog [owned]. Then amplify it heavily through social media [to generate earned mentions].
4.) Create special Facebook-only discounts [paid]. To take advantage of them, people must Like your page. Studies show that discounts are a primary reason people follow and interact with brands on social media. When they Like your page, you have their attention. That also means you now have the start of a relationship with them [leading potentially to earned media].
So how do you decide what media to utlize and when to use it??
The key to differentiating the three types of media (owned, earned and paid) is that earned media is not controlled by brands. This makes earned media less biased and more trusted.
Earned media is very effective at influencing families and friends by what they see their connections post online. They no longer share the good, the bad and the ugly of brands exclusively at home or at the water cooler. Opinions are shared with everyone they’re connected with online, which can potentially add up to hundreds, thousand or even millions of people.
According to inPowered and Nielsen, 85% of consumers regularly seek out trusted expert content when considering a purchase or doing business with an organization.

So what is the optimum formula??
No matter what media you chose, you need to become a storyteller – and your story will help you decide who and when to tell it.
When searching for assistance in marketing, or when looking to hire a marketing agency or local media outlet, do your homework and prepare to ask questions
Before meeting with agencies or local media outlets, have your targets defined and your goals clearly set. Be prepared to present your case for the professionals you are meeting with and how your efforts will benefit the community.
The goal of a content strategy is to create meaningful, cohesive, engaging and sustainable content.
According to BlackBaud.com and Kivi Leroux Miller – President of Nonprofit Marketing Guide
86% of the most effective non-profit marketers have someone who oversees content marketing strategies
92% of non-profit professionals use content marketing
25% have a documented strategy
52% of those with a strategy consider themselves highly effective
Compared to one year ago, 65% of non-profit professions are producing more content
What is the key to prepping your content strategy?
The seed to all great content marketing plans is your story.
How does it differentiate your approach to meeting your customer’s desires?
Content not only includes words on pages, but also the images and other media that is being utilized. All elements ensure that you have useful and usable content, that is well structured and easily found is vital to improving the user experience of a website.
Content Oriented Components

ALL of your messaging should be incorporated into your website. Your budget will play a role in determining where you tell your story, but also consider the audience you NEED to reach. Although TV may appear cost more than social media, if you need to reach a lot of people it could very well be a better option for your investment. You need to look back at what has worked for you in the past and make decisions based on data analysis and return on ad spend. There really is no “easy” answers or “one-plan-fits-all” solutions.
Community:Are you PARTICIPATING in social media networks or passively POSTING content?
Content:Are you including content that YOU are interested in? Or that other PEOPLE are interested in? Does it tell your story and evoke an emotion?
Clarity:Do you have a clear VISION for your message? What makes it DIFFERENT and special? Are you clearly stating what response you are looking for? (donate now, learn more today, get involved)
Consistency:Is your “blog personality” CONSISTENT with who YOU are? Are you offering a consistent EXPERIENCE to your community? Are you constistent across ALL of your messaging and media? Does your TV commercial convey the same emotion/feel as your radio and social media?
Best Practice for Creating Meaningful Content
Reflect your organization’s goals and user needs
Understand how user’s think and talk about a subject
Communicate in a familiar language
Make your content useful
Stay up-to-date and know your facts
Be accessible to all
Stay consistent
Make yourself easy to find
Define requirements for marketing – content should drive design and structure
Consumers now gather content from all types of different sources. Almost all of them with screen.
One screen can lead to another. (TV, to smartphone to desktop to purchase)
