By Brent Merritt , a digital strategy consultant at Metric Communications and blogger at The Caliper. His work is focused on nonprofits, advocacy, and public affairs.

Today I was honored to give a webinar with CiviCore on data and impactful stories. I shared one researcher's experience with stumbling on to a form of a story. Then look at studies about using statistics in fundraising versus not using any statistics. We saw images that viscerally illustrated the studies' findings. Then using classic story telling formula, we explore ways we can make our stories the most impactful they can be.

Doormats get walked on all day long. You don’t want to be a doormat. And yet, all too often, we see nonprofit communications staff behaving in ways that reinforce these “let me wipe my dirty feet all over you” bad behaviors in others. You might be a doormat — or at a minimum, sending doormat signals — in your nonprofit communications job if you.

When resources are limited and pressure is high, it’s easy to fall into bad habits with our communications. This is especially true in the nonprofit world, where communicators are constantly having to raise enough money to keep the lights on while also achieving the mission. So we take shortcuts. We regurgitate old press releases and repurpose the same templates for our annual reports and donor communications.

Last month, I wrote that the key to corporate partnership success is audience-building because brands look for audiences to tell them what's popular, profitable and good in the world. In short, audiences are a magnet for companies. For example, two weeks ago I covered Carson King's Venmo fundraiser for Iowa's Children's Hospital. After Carson raised $250,000, Venmo stepped in and offered to match donations.

Year-end fundraising time is here. I’ve already started receiving appeal letters and I know this is just the beginning. . I get appeals from nonprofit organizations I don’t already support and many of these are generic and impersonal. This is annoying. But what’s even more annoying is receiving generic appeals from organizations I do support. Maybe I’ve donated for at least five years.
