In this seminar, we’re going to go through the steps of planning out a 6 month content marketing strategy that will build momentum leading up to your end of year fundraising programs. Key Takeaways: You’ll learn how to: * Research your donors and prospective donors to uncover engaging content themes that motivate donors to give more and more often. * Connect your end of year fundraising goals with your fundraising and marketing programs over the next 6 months and incorporate them into a strategic marketing plan, * Translate real life case studies and best practices onto your organization’s fundraising goals to apply what you’ve learned for immediate results, * tips, tricks and more… Find out how to leverage the holiday spirit of giving throughout your campaigns to increase donations across all quarters, not just the end of year with a strategic content marketing plan!
