Below are a number of questions many organisations have:
Do I need to be on social media? How often do I need to post on social media?
Having a social media presence does help people find your organisation. It’s often where they first go to learn more about you.
How often you post depends. What you can be consistent with at this point in time is a good place to start. We can work together to find out what that is and develop a plan from there.
Can you help us improve our social media engagement?
Yes. Finding what works for your organisation is important. Together we can determine which social media platforms work for you and how to engage your audience.
Can you help us increase traffic to our website or YouTube channel?
Yes. Social media, targeted marketing, and consistent content creation can help. We can develop a strategy that will work for you.
Do I need to have a blog?
Not necessarily, but a blog does help increase your online presence. And help increase engagement with your website. Sharing your content in a blog can be a great way to let your audience know what you care about and do.
We are a small business or organisation, there are only a few of us, can you help us make it work?
Yes. We’ll work together to find what works for you. Integrated strategies and maximising your time and essential.
How can our charity or non-profit get more donations? Can you help us with this?
We can work together to help you engage your community and build lasting relationships with them. We can also develop a strategy to help your organisation reach a wider audience as well.
How can we re-engage with past supporters or members? Or should we focus only on new ones?
Especially since COVID, people have veered away, and their previous habits may have change. The relationship they used to have with activities or organisations they were involved with was interrupted or changed. Sometimes relationships need to be rejuvenated and people need to be re-engaged.
Focusing on new supporters is important, but that doesn’t mean you can’t include past supporters too. Together we can help you invite them in to what you’re doing now. They’ll decide whether that’s something they want to be a part of at this time.
We can help you rebuild and expand support for your organisation, whether it’s a business, non-profit, charity, or religious community.
We struggle to get enough volunteers. Can you help us find more people who are willing to get involved with our organisation?
Finding good, reliable volunteers takes time. It’s about letting people know what your organisation does and believes in, finding out what people are interested in being a part of, and building relationships with volunteers.
Together we can develop a communication strategy that works for you to specifically reach future volunteers for your organisation.
Many volunteers we do have get burnt out. Can you help us find a way to better support them?
Making sure volunteers are able to contribute in a way that resonates with them is the first step. Listening to them and having support systems in place for them are also essential to avoid volunteer burn out.
Altering or developing a more integrated volunteer approach can help. Considering a succession strategy can also help to keep volunteers feeling supported and new volunteers engaged.
We can work together to develop a volunteer strategy that works for your organisation.
