Why is online giving important?
from Brian Solis in his new book, The End of Business as Usual. He shows this wonderful photo from a Missouri School of Journalism class a few years back:It’s a great visualization of our changing marketing universe. With social media, we’re not in an ecosystem, we’re in an ecosystem with multiple layers of interaction and influence.Source: Katy Andresen – nonprofitmarketingblog.com

Since the title of this presentation is “Getting the Most out of Facebook for Online Fundraising” I think you’ll want me to go straight to talk about messaging for getting donations. But I’m not going to. First, I want to get you to engagement. What we want to help you do is learn how to engage them (and why it’s important to) in order GROW YOUR FAN BASE and also BRIDGE the gap from engaged fans to donors.
Can’t just focus on “awareness” and bark at the window all the time. Need to listen to what people are saying and join in.
Conversations are different on Twitter (where you are limited to 140 characters) and FacebookThe two mediums use different methods of ranking content – it is harder to get your information seen on Facebook than on Twitter BUT, for GlobalGiving, Facebook is a larger drive of donations
Too many messages can cause less engagement
http://tools.blog.globalgiving.org/2011/09/30/facebook-measurement-part-3-of-3/Facebook Metrics VocabularyImpressions: The number of times your post is seen. This includes views on users’ Recent Stories, Top Stories, and visits to Pages.Feedback: The total number of comments and likes on your story divided by the total number of impressions. This is the percentage of people who, after seeing your post, engage in some way with the post.
What is your key message? – what aspect of the workshop do you want to share in the limited space/characters that are available to you?
Today we are going to work in groups.The goal of today is to be able to understand, utilize, and create an online fundraiising strategy-Building up to this we will be going through the steps to cerating this strategy and activities after each step
Before sending out a message – Who are you sending it to? What doyou want to share with them? What doyou want them to do?The typical online giverWe asked you in the beginning to share your typical donor….
Broad and narrow goals: How much would you like to raise this year?How many donors? Recurring donors? Major donors? How many facebook fans do you want? Additional subscribers to your newsletter?
Online fundraising doesn’t just happen. You have to be proactive. Make a plan to achieve the goals you’ve set out.Consider strategies that will help you acquire new online donors, renew existing donors, and upgrade past donors to major donors or recurring donors.
