Firstgiving’s Account Management Team has been on the road for the past few months, talking with our nonprofit partners about how to raise more money online and listening to your feedback. One thing you’ve told us is how helpful it is to receive an automatic email when someone creates a new fundraising page for your nonprofit.
But have you ever asked yourself, “What should I do next?”
Not to fear. . .This week we bring you #5 in our countdown of top 10 ways to use your page creation auto emails. We’re half-way through our countdown!
- Number 10- Thank each fundraiser personally for creating a page
- Number 9- Lead by example, create a page of your own to show off to fundraisers as an example
- Number 8- Get inactive pages ACTIVE
- Number 7- Don’t count only on support from individuals, ask businesses too
- Number 6- Make sure fundraisers know your goal and how possible it is to reach it
- Number 5- Invite fundraisers to join your Facebook page and set up a widget
Are you on Facebook? Have you made a page for your nonprofit organization? Connect your fundraisers to your organization and ask them to become your Facebook fans. Adding your nonprofit to Facebook is a great way to build your community online, post information about your nonprofit, and keep your supporters up to date on progress to your fundraising goal. Your Facebook page could even become a hub of communication between your nonprofit and fundraisers–imagine the possibilities!
Your fundraisers can also add a mini-version of their fundraising pages to their Facebook profiles with Firstgiving’s fundraising application. The fundraising application makes it easy for fundraisers to share their fundraising pages with friends on Facebook and ask them to donate.
All that to say. . . Facebook is a powerful networking tool, so take advantage of it and build your network today!
