There are many examples of nonprofits using Facebook and Twitter to achieve good campaign results. But the truth is that there is not a one size fits all strategy when it comes to social media. Making it work for your organization is a process of trial and error.
So what do you do when your social media efforts are not paying off as you expected?
In this webinar Philip King and our guest, Misty Meeks will discuss Facebook and Twitter strategy at the World Society for the Protection of Animals: what works, what doesn't and more importantly, how to overcome stumbling blocks when you encounter them.
After attending this session, you'll know...
* How to integrate social media into an existing fundraising program
* When to use Facebook and when to use Twitter
* Who should be in charge of social media in your organization?

Integration is key
Planning in conjunction with other
departments: programs, fundraising
and communications.
Identify „touch points‟ for digital
integration.
Ongoing dialogue helps gather
content, identify new opportunities,
and feedback results that will help
build internal social media culture.

Catalonia Bullfighting Ban
Every year, in this region of Spain,
100 bulls die in bullfights.
Achieving a ban in this region would
not only prevent bulls from dying, but
it would have a ripple effect on other
regions.
Website was set up where people
could send letters to encourage
Catalonian Parliament to vote for a
ban on bullfighting.

Catalonia Bullfighting Ban
Drove traffic to the site through email
and social media.
After people participated in the
campaign we asked them to FTAF
and/or make a donation.
Set up @BullfightBan so Alyx,
WSPA‟s anti-bullfighting program
manager could cover the vote live.
