Hinweis der Redaktion
- Social media can be a bit overwhelming, and though itâs something Iâve grown to really enjoy, itâs hard to constantly keep up with the new craze. Iâll admit that I didnât really want to take the plunge until I got a friend request from Judi on Facebook just before she started working at the Foundation. Since she would be my new boss, I figured I better do it.
- But as time moved on, I rapidly saw social media as an opportunity, and if thereâs one thing I want to leave with you today, itâs this: Social media offers an opportunity for nonprofits, an opportunity to connect. So letâs talk about this question, which seems to summarize most of whatâs important to us as nonprofits-even small businesses and sometimes government.
- Now, I want to be perfectly clear about social media. Some folks turn their back to all of the social media buzz because the know that the good ole tried and true methods of relationship building and of marketing still retain their validity today. I do not argue with that. Am I saying thatâŠ? No. But what I am saying is that this is another tool for connecting, and itâs growing in importance. So whether youâre talking about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or whatever the next new thing is, whatâs changing is the expectation of how we process information.
- I think we can boil down social media into four main principles.
- It sounds silly, but social media is called social media for a reasonâitâs social. In thinking about this, I want you to consider the elements of a conversation that you might have in person with someone. What are these elements? What happens in a bad conversation? And so these are precisely the things you want to avoid in the social media world.
- It isnât just courtesy, but itâs a HUGE opportunity. The potential for researching your fansâwhat they like, what motivates them to leave a comment, how they answer the questions you might pose to them on Facebookâthey all provide excellent insight into how you can really reach them in regard to your mission. What are their hot buttons? Donât miss out on that opportunity.
- In this respect, itâs not that different from what you might do with a prospective donor on a first luncheon. You donât sit right down and ask them for money. You get to know them, you ask them a few questions, find out what interests them, maybe invite them to get further involved, learn more about them, etc. Many nonprofits make the mistake of slapping up event announcements on their Facebook page or on Twitter and then donât know why they arenât receiving a response.
- This is true with every aspect of marketing/ communications. And one of the most common things we hear when we ask who you needs to hear your message. The response is âeveryone.â Your audience is never everyone. And using social media, your audience certainly isnât everyone, itâs a subset of the larger audience you market your programs to. For example, many of the Community Foundationâs donors have either passed away or are in their mid-80âs. Now I donât want to generalize about age groups, because social media is anything but a teenagerâs place. But we arenât focusing on this group using social media because there just arenât enough of them using tools like Facebook and Twitter to justify it. Our audience is largely younger generation prospective donors; staff/ board members of nonprofits; and scholarship students.
- Another way to segment your audience-- are you talking to clients? To donors? To would-be members? To volunteers? In some cases these groups are certainly in need of the same message. But think about this. These will all provide valuable insights about how to connect with people to benefit your organization.
- Yes, there is time involved in social media and weâll talk about that in a minute. The trust factor is big. A lot of the greatness in social media is the 3 rd party credibility factorâwhen things go viral and when others say good things about you instead of you saying good things about you.
- So how to you establish trust? By offering value. You must offer some value other than âcome visit our site,â âplease donate,â âcome volunteer,â if you want people to join you on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Think of it as water.
- You may be at the point now that you just want to learn more about how social media works, but eventually, itâs going to be every bit as imperative as having a website. When people Google an organization, many times, their Facebook page will come up first. And that may be because itâs more frequently updated (hopefully) and content thatâs more frequently updated generates better search engine rankings. What does that tell you?
- Sometimes we can learn a lot by tell a lot about the future of things in our nonprofit world by looking at the big boysâthe big corporate brands. Did you all hear that Pepsi cancelled its advertising for the SuperBowl and announced a multi-million dollar social media initiative called Pepsi Refresh? The company is giving away $1.3 million each month to ideas that can change the world for the better. Users vote on the best ideas.
- The top 2 anxieties we hear about social media are 1. we donât have the timeâŠthis takes a lot of time, and 2. people can say bad stuff about you. I canât tell you these arenât true. You can spend lots of time on social media, but with a good plan you can minimize distraction and you can also use the time you do spend on it well. Regarding people saying things about youâweâre going to talk about this to try and calm your fears about it. But one thing to consider is this: whether or not your nonprofit is actively using social media, people can and will still say bad things about you. Itâs actually completely independent of whether youâre participating. The third âevil side,â which is true of anything, if you donât plan your social media campaign, it probably wonât serve you well.
- I âm just going to be honest about this. The time management gripes about social media drive me nuts. In the end, youâll just have to decide if social media is worth some of your time or not. And if it is, there are a few things you can be mindful of that will really helpâŠ
- Think about how you can be pro-active in managing reputation.
- These are your âground rules.â Written social media guidelines that are incorporated into your nonprofitâs employee handbook will help protect you, give your staff and volunteers an idea of whatâs okay to mention in this sort of forum. If you did get an inappropriate post, theyâll also provide a framework for reporting that person so they arenât able to post or comment any longer.
- We all know this to be true.
- Mention SeaWorld. Shut down comments on Facebook page after the incident last week with Tilly the Whale. Now they are allowing commentsâmany very bad, many very good. Itâs sort of self-policing because fans of Seaworld are doing the talking and protecting of the brand. Theyâve said that they are only sensoring comments that include profanity or that are insensitive to the trainerâs family. They did however make the decision to shut their entire Twitter following of 10,000 down. They set up their account as if Shamu was speaking. A cute idea at the time, but obviously difficult to carry out now.
- We have 660 fans on Facebook and almost 2,000 followers on Twitter.
- Thatâs a lot of competition
- Fastest growing social media channel among Fortune 500 companies
- Discuss different parts of the page
- Very cool new features: safety mode, Youtube will ad captions to your videos (auto-captioning tool) to provide a text-based approach for increased accessibility, Annotations let you add on-screen text to your YouTube videos â like live links to your blog, donations page, membership pages, etc.
