It's time to get real about the real return on the investment you make in content marketing. Is the money and time you are investing in content marketing helping you achieve your business goals? Is the time you invest researching your audience, learning the social networks and pounding out mounds of content fruitful? Bottom line… does your content convert to real business?

Social media changes so frequently that unless your NGO has a full-time social media manager who has the time to consistently research and adopt emerging trends, odds are your NGO is using social media in ways that are no longer effective. The webinar content below was presented by Heather Mansfield on September 19, 2017 to 1,175 nonprofit staff. It was the final presentation of the social media excellence webinar.

This morning I’m wondering how many nonprofits in Houston and Florida had their fundraising proceeds protected from the ravages of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma by insurance. Frankly, until yesterday this wasn’t a question that would occur to me in a 100 years. But then I received a note from my friend Chuck Longfield , the Chief Scientist at Blackbaud.

Another day of amazing content creation. You create yet another epic piece of content. You publish yet another epic piece of content. Your epic piece of content is shared all over the social and digital web, once again. However, as usual your content is not converting. It is not driving business. It is not driving real traffic to your blog or website.

Most fundraiser’s LinkedIn profiles are screwed up! They look like resumes, not invitations. After all, are you trying to raise money or are you looking for another job? If you are aiming to raise money then you need to recognize that, more and more, your donors will check you out online before they accept your telephone call or email outreach.

Volunteers are a vital part of your nonprofit organization. They’re the ones doing the grunt work and producing tangible change for the cause you’re working to better. Once you’ve recruited a solid group of volunteers and have boots on the ground to make things happen, you need to develop relationships with them in order to treat them as an extension of your staff.

Speak to people skilled at nonprofit programs or marketing or fundraising and you’ll hear that they know what works because they constantly test. But promote those people to leadership, or elect them to a board of directors, and they get “risk averse.” They stop testing. They opt for “industry benchmarks” and doing what’s worked in […].

Rarely does The Agitator fully reprint other blogs. But, in the midst of what seems an unending string of natural disasters and heartbreak, punctuated by Apple’s tsunami of product hype over its latest iPhone X, it’s time for some humor — and perspective. Time to steal. What better place to turn than to Vu Le’s site, Nonprofit: And Friends that appears on the Agitator Blogroll.

Many of you may be working on your year-end appeal, which is great, but have you given any thought to how you’ll thank your donors? Thanking your donors after an appeal (and throughout the year) is equally important, yet many organizations leave this as a last minute to-do item and it shows. You can stand out by taking the time to give your donors a great thank you experience.

I’ll admit to being blown away by Roger’s post yesterday, Are Your Fundraising Proceeds Insured? He was discussing the issue of whether nonprofits could insure against lost fundraising returns due to ‘business interruption’ — in this case, interruption due to hurricane damage. A concept I’ve never thought about. And the answer seems to be ‘Yes’, at least as demonstrated by the success of Houston Public Media after Hurricane Ike in 2008.

He’s back! And this time he’ll be talking about one of my favorite subjects — donor surveys. Sure, I’ve got some experience in this area. MarketSmart has been conducting surveys on behalf of hundreds of nonprofits in 4 countries around the world. I even conducted a very well attended webinar on the subject a few months ago. But I think people might be getting sick of me.

Feeling comfortable in your work environment is an important part of your company culture. Many nonprofit organizations have lax dress codes, a custom many employees appreciate because they feel they can be themselves in the office. This changes, however, when it comes to investor presentations. Lost on what to wear when making your pitch to investors?

About the only fundraising practice I thought disliked more than #GivingTuesday was getting messages in September, two months before the auspicious event, offering advice on how to get ready for #GivingTuesday. But then I got an ‘in your face’ reminder that there indeed was another fundraising purveyor who gives me even greater upset — the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

So you’re talking to a nice couple who have been giving to your organization for years. You think they are a great candidate to ask for a bequest. Now what?

I love, love, love, thank you videos. They are relatively easy to produce and so feel-good and effective. They are the perfect way to remind your supporters of the good work you are doing with their help, right before your major year-end campaigns. You can use them in lots of other ways too. If you don’t have one in the works now, it’s not too late!
