Written by: Lisa Morrissey, Director of Marketing and Communications & Secretary of The Toolbox, Inc. and Speaker at the October 22 Non-profit Toolbox event.
Developing and executing a successful fundraising campaign takes extensive planning, thorough follow-through and often times a little creativity. But the one piece of the success planning puzzle that is easy to overlook is a strategic PR and marketing plan.
When putting together the PR and marketing plan for your next fundraising campaign, please consider the following:
1) What are the various mediums that you will be using to communicate your campaign?
- Can one find out about your campaign by visiting your website?
- Is there a separate landing page for your campaign?
- Do you have a blog? Can you guest post on other’s blogs?
- Once on your website, can one give right on the spot? Securely?
- Can you afford to send something out via the mail?
2) Will you be taking advantage of social media?
- Does your organization have a FaceBook page?
- Are you Tweeting?
- Does your organization have a channel on YouTube?
3) Do you plan to submit pre-event information to your local newspapers, radio and television channels?
- One month prior to kick-off?
- Two weeks prior to kick-off?
- Do you have quotes about your organization and the event that you can include?
Your organization is sure to reap the benefits of your strategic planning and execution!
