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.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”width: 55% !important;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”width: 100% !important;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”width: 100% !important;”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” admin_label=”Post Section2″ module_class=”post-content-sec2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#ededed” custom_padding=”265px|30px|110px|30px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”50px||50px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”40px||40px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” positioning=”absolute” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_last_edited=”off|tablet” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wowdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-circleA-img.svg” title_text=”post-circleA-img” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width_tablet=”300px” max_width_phone=”200px” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”bottom_left” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_last_edited=”off|tablet” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wowdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-circleB-img.svg” title_text=”post-circleB-img” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width_tablet=”200px” max_width_phone=”150px” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”center_right” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_last_edited=”off|tablet” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wowdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-circleC-img.svg” title_text=”post-circleC-img” align=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width_tablet=”200px” max_width_phone=”150px” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|60px|||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” module_class=”post-content-text-module” _builder_version=”4.18.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#555555″ text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”38px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#555555″ header_3_font_size=”22.1px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|phone” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” text_font_size_last_edited=”off|tablet” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”19px” header_3_font_size_phone=”18px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element=”position: relative;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Before we start<\/h2>\n

Here is one very important thing to keep in mind before you proceed to learn more about marketing strategies and maybe even choose one for your non-profit.<\/p>\n

\n

Strategy is the base. There is actually nothing you can do without a strategy to predict the results.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In case you already have a good experience in marketing, even for non-profits, you will agree with this statement, but if you are just considering your options to complete your NPO objectives then it can seem not important enough.<\/p>\n

Many NGOs tyro imply short-term solutions, use advertising channels chaotically, and generally skip the planning stage or do not include the marketing part in it, concentrating more on organizational issues. There is nothing you should do without a plan if. It is not possible to create a plan that doesn\u2019t have a tactical approach. And where do the tactics come from? Directly from the strategy. Strategy defines the direction for your organization to move and the way to approach that direction.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s move to the strategies.<\/p>\n

There are 6 main ones we are going to cover today. They include:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get $156,000 USD\/year with Google Ad Grants for Google Ads and Microsoft Ads for Social Impact<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Emotionally directed video approach<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Personal influence<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Targeted ads on Social Media<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Email marketing<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Influencers for free<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Get $156,000 USD\/year in free ads with Google Ad Grants and Microsoft Ads for Social Impact<\/h2>\n

    If you think you do not have a budget to promote your organization through Google Ads, then you do not know about Google Ad Grants<\/a> and Microsoft Ads for Social Impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    These are programs that financially support non-profits, so they could you the funds received for advertising on the Google and Bing search engine networks. There is no better contextual advertising than Google and Microsoft Ads, no more advanced and smart system you could take advantage of and attract any kind of audience you need. Multiple tools, advanced statistics and analytics, various targeting options, clever support, and guidance so that even a beginner could manage running his first campaign \u2013 imagine all those tools used for the sake of your organization.<\/p>\n

    Of course, there will be certain limits applied to non-profit campaigns you run under the programs. For example, you will not be able to spend more than $10,000 USD (Google) and $3,000 USD (Microsoft) and your cost-per-click bids will be limited to a maximum of $2 USD (Google), but most probably you will not even notice that limitation.<\/p>\n

    \n

    There are three things you will need to apply for the grant: Google Ads & non-profit accounts, and Google Ads ID, and a few on the Microsoft side as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    If you don’t have time to learn how Google and\/or Microsoft Ads work or aren\u2019t sure you can manage a campaign, then you can always call an expert<\/a> to make available resources that will be used efficiently and bring the necessary results.<\/p>\n

    Emotionally-directed video approach<\/h2>\n

    Does content format matter? Definitely. Especially when we are considering content to be promoted by non-profits. Among all options available, the most efficient one is video format. It contains multiple elements to affect the view in a complex way: sound, picture, dynamics, and text. Just hearing a story or seeing an image will not be as effective (we didn’t even mention simple tables or pure text) as a video.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Video is like a quintessence of the best elements used together.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Why do we pay so much attention to the power of content? Because it can be used to bring emotions to people \u2013 to make them feel. An emotional way of delivering your messages to people is going to faster the actions they should take.<\/p>\n

    There are many online resources to help you create videos without investing much money. Modern smartphones also record high-quality videos, so you could process them afterward. Moreover, most Social Media (one of the best marketing channels for non-profits) confirms that video content is the most efficient.<\/p>\n

    Personal influence<\/h2>\n

    You know about brand ambassadors and how important they are for the promotion of a company, organization, event, product, service \u2013 anything! But what about becoming an ambassador of your organization?<\/p>\n

    Organize and run events, and speak publically about your organization and what you do there. Mention your workers, your donors, your volunteers, and your supporters. Make friends with other organizations and attract donors. The more publically you do that, the more attention you will attract to raise awareness of your company and expand the community of your supporters.<\/p>\n

    Targeted ads on Social Media<\/h2>\n

    Social Media deserves the most serious approach and needs a special plan. Why? Because this marketing channel is closer to your audience than any other. There are many important things to consider when talking about Social Media Marketing, but today we will focus on the targeted ads available there.<\/p>\n

    Consider forming some budget to run paid campaigns on, for example, Facebook and Instagram. Well-prepared profiles of your donors will help you target your campaign correctly and get fantastic results. Test different formats and options to find the most efficient and cost-effective one or ask somebody to help you, for example, one of your supporters who are interested in SMM and want to practice at the same time, understanding and respecting your activities to put the effort in their work.<\/p>\n

    Email marketing<\/h2>\n

    Email marketing is a well-known marketing channel that does not lose its efficiency with time. A well-prepared and run email marketing campaign can bring 40x more than you invest in it.<\/p>\n

    \n

    It means that if you spend $5,000 you can attract up to $200,000 in funds! Doesn\u2019t look bad, does it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    You need to work on your email list and collect a good base of potential and existing donors, then you should form email marketing funnels, and work on the template for your letters as well as their content. Decide on the key performance indicators to track, track them regularly, and constantly improve. For example, the open rate is a very important metric to be taken into account.<\/p>\n

    Influencers for free<\/h2>\n

    Influencer marketing<\/a> brings fantastic results, but there are not many influencers that are ready to work for free or with a small budget. Also, great results require a great approach. This is why one of the strategic models to include in your plan is finding an influencer that is world-famous.<\/p>\n

    There are no guarantees you will get a Hollywood star promoting your agency, but you can concentrate on people who are very supported, respected, and thus important in different organizations, and communities and ask them for a collaboration. Tell them about your projects and initiatives. Explain why they are so important and what problems you solve. Show them you care for what you do, and they might start caring for it as well.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How to use those strategies? Practical approach<\/h2>\n

    You can choose any of those models as a base for further processing within your strategic plan, or combine a few. Usually, it\u2019s the combination that creates a perfect approach for you, but there are no ready ones \u2013 you will still need to check and adjust them for yourself.<\/p>\n

    The digital world of marketing is there for you to help you reach goals, see fantastic results, and make this world a better place for all of us. Don\u2019t hesitate to discover it and use its opportunities and tools to the fullest.<\/p>\n

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.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"

      6 tricks to stimulate your social media performance<\/h2>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Trick #1 - Register wisely<\/h5>

      Do not get lost in the ways you can set up your profile on different social media. You will get particularly different tools and options when registering directly as a non-profit organization. There are also different programs available for non-profits, such as Facebook Fundraising, Payments, and Charitable Giving Tools. YouTube also has a Non-profits Program, while TikTok runs a TikTok for Good extended features.<\/p>

      Trick #2 - Button up<\/h5>

      Haven\u2019t you forgotten to add a donation button to your profile? And what if people want to donate and find no button? Nobody likes long paths and processes when they have to put much effort to find an option for something. So let people donate easily.<\/p>

      Trick #3 - Educate yourself<\/h5>

      There are multiple pieces of training and workshops directed at non-profits and their teams. For example, you can complete a Facebook Blueprint Training online to learn the peculiarities of promotion of non-profit organizations or join YouTube Creator Academy to enroll in one of the courses to promote your organization efficiently. Hootsuite, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn - there are options to study and get very useful information everywhere.<\/p>

      Trick #4 - Use a content plan<\/h5>

      A content calendar is a necessary basic plan with publications. You can create a separate one for each Social Media you use and then combine those plans into one calendar to know exactly what when and where should be published. Include collaborations and promo events, media and texts, hashtags, and locations. Do it online and use handy tools to plan your publications, track their performance and analyze general efficiency.<\/p>

      Trick #5 - Let people share<\/h5>

      Your content is basically what talks about you and what you do. Make sure that all your publications can be easily shared by your followers or those who have just discovered you and got interesting to learn more about you or got inspired by something you do.<\/p>

      In order for people to want to share your content, it should be informative, stand out visually, motivate, feature strong visual elements, and be of different formats (separate photos, galleries, videos, illustrations, etc.).<\/p><\/blockquote>

      Trick #6 - Tell the stories<\/h5>

      Those are the stories of your volunteers and workers, stories of your donors, and those people who benefit from your activities. How and why they joined you, what they feel when joining your activities or receiving help from you, and what inspires, scares, and motivates them to move.<\/p>

      You will be right if you suppose that social media nowadays are one of the most efficient ways to form ad control public opinion, simply because they can help you approach an almost unlimited audience. And then you can talk to it directly, using multiple advertising options, both free and paid. Use the power of it to make a difference!<\/p>
