A Mindset Change Is RequiredEmbrace storytelling on a variety of channels. Stop being org-centric and become DONOR-centric.Focus on BENEFITS, not features. Always provide value what is valuable to your donors?Follow the What's In It For Me? mantra. Think in terms of video, visuals, and micro-content terms. @JuliaCSocial www.jcsocialmarketing.com7
Great Nonprofit Stories Do 2 Things1. Get people to take an action.Donate, volunteer, sign this!2. Inspire people to spread the word. Email this! Share on social media! Print it out and mail it! (My mom has done this.)
