- We’re going to talk about the what’s and the why’s
- Content Marketing isn’t new. & it’s not new to nonprofits. Raise your hand if you do any of these things…See?CM’s just getting more attention with the advent of social media, it’s become a more prevalent tactic.You’ll notice that not all these types of content are electronic, therefore content marketing DOES NOT EQUAL SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETINGSocial media is actually ranked the 3rd most effective content marketing tactic, under in-person events & enewsletters according to a 2013 study by blackbaud
- DO NOT SELL too much! You’ll turn off your audienceNow that we know the What’s of CM, let’s move on to the WHYS
- Creating content will help humanize your brand
- A goal of content marketing is to humanize your brand – creating your own content gives you a chance to speakWe have a worksheet on voice!
- Your “only” is a lot like your missionIt might be one thing, or it might be several things.If not, you’ve found your “only”But if what you wrote down can apply to another nonprofit, then you need to do some more soul searching. And it might be a painful process—no one wants to have their organization’s whole reason for existence called into question.But if YOU don’t know why your organization is special, your potential donors sure don’t5minutes – hold onto the results, we’ll talk more about it later
- Cat videos? Recipes? Don’t know what your cheese is? Look at your analytics to see what people are clicking on most!
- Our broccoli – come to our anti-violence panelOur cheese – pictures & media “inside the Workshop”, Studs, connections to big namesToday’s FB Feed – what makes it broccoli? What makes it cheese? http://www.facebook.com
- Once you’ve found your “only,” think about how your organization is perceived by your donors and the public. Do THEY understand why you’re unique? Or do they think of you as just one of many indistinguishable groups working on the same issue?Then, it’s time to plan how to better show your “only” to your donors. Show them why a donation to you will accomplish things that just can’t happen anywhere else. Show them what the world would look like if you didn’t exist. Not a pretty picture, right?FOR EXAMPLE
