Nonprofits can Benefit Greatly from Social Media
Social media is an inexpensive way that nonprofits can grow in reaching their mission. As a strong supporter of many local nonprofits, we at Selsi Enterprises realize how limited resources can be when trying to balance all that needs to be done to keep the nonprofit afloat. Allow us to make a few suggestions as to why a nonprofit that uses social media can not lose:
1. Keep your volunteer engaged – Social media is a way to show the success of those that volunteer with your organization. It is also a great way to schedule and plan activities with those on your volunteer roster. This is also one of the greatest ways to get feedback from those that volunteer with your organization.
2. Tell your story – Platforms like YouTube will quickly allow you to showcase the efforts of your organization. Many in your local community will not realize of your hard work unless you let them know. Telling your story is the best way to keep donations coming in all year long.
3. Fundraising campaigns – What better way to allow people to donate to your organization than in an online format. Your audience can watch the total rise, encourage others to donate, and share their reason for donating. Social media should one tool that you use in your fundraising campaign.
Building a successful social media campaign is not just watching your ‘likes’ on Facebook rise, but engaging your audience by using a variety of tools. Social media is one, inexpensive tool that should not be ignored by nonprofits.
Get out your Social Media Yard Stick
In marketing, we all know that you are going to hear the phrase, “what is my ROI?” What is the return that I will get for placing my money into this form of advertising? It is a hard question to answer when talking about social media. I am wondering if we are deep enough into social media to be able to properly measure the tool. I think there are many that are doing a great job at generalizing the data that they receive.
One important factor that companies, be they small or large, need to realize is that social media is for the point of being social. You can not continue to push the same old information that you have pushed in traditional media. In order for social media to be successful, one must jump in and engage with an audience that may very well already be talking about your brand. If your brand is not being discussed, think of ways to get on the minds of your possible customers.
In actuality, there are many tools that can be used in combination to figure out if you are hitting the mark with your current social media campaign. In researching ROI tools for our clients, here are a few that we do not mind recommending:
Radian6 – This tool is not the cheapest for a small business owner or a nonprofit to use, but it is extremely useful in all that it is capable of measuring.
Lithium Social Media Monitoring – This one is really easy on the eyes because it is based on the look and feel of Google. Lithium measures a variety of negative and positive signals that can give you a great overview to deliver in any upcoming presentation.
Trendrr – Many consider this to be very web 3.0 in its make up. This gives the user real time data that it gathers from microblogs, searc, social, and even video. Many that we have spoken with love the location based specific data that they are able to obtain almost instantly.
If you have any ROI tools that you are successfully using, please let us know. We love to share this information with our readers in the hopes of helping those that may be in a rut with showing their return on investment.
Survey Monkey is Winning!
I am so impressed when I see big companies that are truly paying attention to their social media. Recently, I tweeted about Survey Monkey. Here is a look at my tweet:

Developing a survey on @surveymonkey ! Great tool and super easy to use. Looking forward to the results. #communication#measurement
I did not do it for a response, but I was surprised when I did get one. Take a look at the tweet I received:
SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey
@Selsi_Ent Thanks for using us! We’re glad it’s working so well for you
I think that small and large companies can learn a thing or two from SurveyMonkey. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of companies doing some great things with social media. Many companies are still lagging behind in taking social media seriously. When a company responds to a random customer on Twitter, to me it says they really want to make sure that their customers have a great experience with their product.
