Social Media: The Secret Weapon in the Battle to Retain Donors

Ok, so maybe it’s not really a secret.

Maybe you know all about the benefits of using social media. You know that social media helps you engage and build relationships. You know it’s a platform for sharing stories, creating buzz, and networking.

You get it.

But simply understanding how social media can help you nurture relationships and boost donor retention rates won’t translate to success. There’s work to be done, research to be conducted, stories to be crafted, plans to be made, and a strategy to be built.

Your supporters are out there, even your matures.

So, how do you build a social media strategy that keeps your donors engaged and motivated?

Yesterday, John Haydon, Social Media for Nonprofits Expert, hosted a webinar that shared the ins and outs & do’s and don’ts of building a social media presence for your nonprofit. If you missed it, be sure to check out the slides below.
