- Just as how your strategic plan guides how your organization is moving into the future and guides decisions on what you do and how you do it. Your nonprofit communications strategy is critical to how effectively a social profit organization strives for its vision and delivers on its mission.
- As with any marketing effort, the first step to success is identifying who your organization wants to reach and find out how they are using social media. There is more and more audience research for users of particular social media tools and a lot of it is free. It pays to spend a few hours reviewing the demographic or “technographic” details (what people are doing online). While secondary research may help inform what general direction you may want to go in, there is no substitute for primary research. And while surveys, focus groups and other services can give you an analysis of what your current audience is doing online, direct observation is works best. For instance, if you are considering a Facebook profile, before you set up an organizational presence - spend some time searching to see if and if anyone has set up a Fan Page or Group to talk about your organization or issue area. Or, if you are considering a blog, find out who the key bloggers are in your topic area. This will allow you to observe what your audience is saying in their natural environment. Some social media strategists call this step “listening” and it is essential first step in developing your social media strategy.
- As with the introduction of any new technology or anything new for that matter, there are bound to be fears and concerns expressed by others in your organization. Common concerns about social media from nonprofits may include: Loss of control over your organization's branding and marketing messages Dealing with negative comments Addressing personality versus organizational voice Not being successful, fear of failure Perception of wasted of time and resources Suffering from information overload already, this will cause more
- You need to pick the right hard data points or metrics that will help you track your objectives. It is important to look at trend movements and changes over time, not just numbers. But hard data points alone won't give you much value unless you harvest insights to improve your social media strategy. For social media, it is also important not to look at a single metric, you will have to evaluate your strategy performance from multiple dimensions.
- While online platforms may seem simple enough to use, it does take skill and creativity to build an online community and to maintain engagement. It also requires commitment from leadership to invest in human and technical resources. When considering whether to integrate social media into your organization’s communication strategy, be sure to engage leadership in the decision making process. Together, discuss the benefits of social media engagement for your organization and determine if sufficient resources exist to support the program, recognizing that results will not happen overnight. It takes both time and effort to build a social media presence and flexibility and patience to experiment with new tools. Leadership will have to make a long-term commitment to the process and allocate ample time and resources toward social media activities.
- The prevalence of mobile phones has also stirred the rapid development of applications that equip people from disconnected and rural communities to easily access vital information. For example, through a short message service (SMS) an individual with a mobile phone can obtain information on market prices, report or monitor concerns related to their health and safety and receive and respond to mass texts with alerts. NGOs are harnessing the power of these applications to connect to their audiences and to help build safer and more responsive communities.
- A blog, short for Web log, is an online communication platform through which a blogger (the person who submits content to a blog), can regularly share stories, photos, videos or links according to the subject matter of the particular blog. It is often likened to a journal, because most blogs are written in first person and offer a more personal narrative compared to content traditionally found on a website. Blogs are a valuable tool for development because they allow organizations to easily expand beyond their traditional communications mediums and social networks, and curate a content rich platform for their followers. Organizations can share meaningful stories from the field through the personal voice of staff members, volunteers or partners, without the hassle of updating their website. They are also a great venue to share other news or information, relevant to the organization and its partners or stakeholders.
- Pick your domain name. Picking a domain name will be one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Selecting a domain name for your organization that’s compelling and easy to remember will take patience and creativity. Decide where your site will be hosted. There are many differences between a WordPress.com blog, which is free, and a WordPress.org blog, but in summary, you want to go with WordPress.org. WordPress has a great list of hosting providers that support WordPress — and there are literally hundreds from you can choose from for a modest monthly cost. Install WordPress. Most reputable hosting companies offer a one-click install of WordPress as demonstrated in this video. Settle on a theme. A theme is essentially clothing for your website. It dictates the overall look and feel, as well as some of the functionality of your site. Check out these important considerations to help you choose a theme. Establish your permalink settings. The default permalink structure in WordPress relies on the post ID — basically, a number — which is not recommended if you want to get found when someone is searching on your topic. Instead, choose a permalink structure that is keyword rich, like categories and post names. Watch How to Create SEO-Friendly Permalinks to learn how to configure these basic settings. Add essential plug-ins. Plug-ins are add-ons that enhance the functionality of your nonprofit WordPress site. Check out this good list of essential plug-ins. Create basic pages. WordPress pages are different from posts. Start with the basic pages first, such as an About page, a Donation page, a Volunteer page or a Subscribe page. Draft some text and add in images as desired. - See more at: http://www.socialbrite.org/2011/05/23/build-a-wordpress-site-for-your-nonprofit-in-9-steps/#sthash.fdmGenTy.dpuf
- Social media can be used as a tool to promote advancements in the field of development. It allows organizations with few resources to multiply their audience reach and connect with people through the use of innovative technologies, and to inform them about important issues affecting their lives and their communities. With increased information sharing through online tools, there is greater opportunity for development. Citizens can quickly disseminate critical information and play a direct role in democracy-building in their communities. However, access to information is just one step in the advocacy process. Mobilizing people and communities to use that information and contribute to the knowledge base is critical to a campaign’s success.
- To answer these questions, consider your organization’s mission, core values and programmatic goals. Why does the organization exist? What is important to the organization? What does it hope to accomplish? The organization has determined social media can help serve as a tool to reach its programmatic goals. Now it is time to decide which goals in particular the organization would like to achieve through social media. Make them as specific as possible. To help you think through this process, consider the organization’s goals. Is it trying to build awareness around a certain product or service? Is it fundraising for a particular project? Is it building a community of volunteers? Or, is it advocating for a particular cause? Begin by picking one goal that you think is possible for the organization to achieve through social media. For example, if the target audience is young mothers, you would probably want to use Facebook or YouTube to reach them, or any other platform that is popular for that demographic in the region. Using LinkedIn, a network for professionals to connect for employment opportunities, will not be very useful. It would be a waste of valuable resources to spend time on a platform that does not cater to the target audience. Once the appropriate social media platforms have been selected, identify performance indicators to measure success. The performance indicators must be specific and measurable, and tied directly to the organization’s objective. If the performance indicators reveal the organization is successfully reaching or building towards reaching its objective, then you know you are on the right track. If they reveal the opposite, then the organization must adjust its strategy, apply a revised strategy and measure again.
- Groups and Pages serve different purposes on Facebook. Groups are meant to foster group discussion around a particular topic area while Pages allow entities such as public figures and organizations to broadcast information to their fans. Only the authorized representative of the entity can run a Page. So one of your employees might set up a “group” for your organization, and that would be fine. But only an official representative of an organization can set up the official Page for that organization (or at least someone who is willing to say that they are an official rep!). Both options allow users to share photos and videos, plan and promote events, post news or information through status updates, and like or comment on posts. Each time a user engages in these activities, it becomes visible in their friends’ or followers’ news feed.
- Evolve with change - Social media platforms are constantly changing and evolving. Organizations must always be prepared to adapt to these changes and adjust their strategies accordingly. Post with a purpose - There is a reason an organization has a presence on social media. Stay true to this purpose and share content that is aligned with it. Use appropriate tools - Carefully select appropriate tools for desired results. If the intent is to build an online community, use a social networking site instead of a photo sharing site. Integrate and promote content across multiple platforms - Repurpose content and share it on other platforms, but always make adjustments to leverage the platform’s benefits. Be both methodical and spontaneous, and always relevant - Posts and comments should always be timely and appropriate for the venue and audience. Stay active and engaged - Engagement is key to success. If it is not possible to maintain an active presence on a platform, it may be best to reconsider its objective. Share multiple posts each day - When appropriate, maximize exposure by sharing posts at different times of the day, being mindful of different time zones. The goal is to capture the attention of an audience that may have missed an earlier post.
- Photo and video sharing sites have become increasingly popular with the proliferation of smartphones.
