25. The Possibilities Social media offers huge opportunitiesfor promoting causes Amazing results are too often the result of terrible tragedy Prepare for the crisis moment by investing in infrastructure, list growth, branding, and building communities Find the people who will be your citizen marketers and give them opportunities to help you grow your base on social networks 25

26. Social Media Limits Social media is great for Branding Relationships Crisis response if you have the audience But you have to work harder for Fundraising outside of a crisis Bringing people to your site and capturing contacts/donor leads Deeper engagement beyond the “like” 26
