Social Media
I cannot imagine creating and implementing a marketing campaign for non-profits without the use of social media. You can find several social media platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. These platforms are incredibly popular around the world, and they allow you to reach massive active audiences. In a nutshell, using social media to build a brand is very effective.
The standard features offered by these platforms are very useful. However, those platforms offer some extended (or advanced) features for digital marketers. One of the best examples of such a feature is Facebook Ads Manager.
You can also use social media management tools to integrate with these platforms easily and to schedule the posts and measure their engagement.
Graphic design
Graphic design programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Canva are incredibly handy for creating attractive ads and content for blog posts, social media, and for your website.
Just as a well-designed and well-placed billboard can generate more interest in a product or service, well-designed graphics used in digital marketing can help grab attention and interest online, helping to boost visibility brand awareness, impact, and ultimately donations and engagement.
Digital marketing is based heavily on engaging your audience with visuals. Using graphic design tools, like those mentioned above, is almost mandatory for any digital marketer.
Analytic tools
Analytics is one of the core elements of any digital marketing campaign.
