People won’t donate via social
mediaBut those same people will give if I ask them
via email or the phone or mail.
Things to remember
•Let no opportunity to build your list pass you by - find a reason for your audience to share contact information with you (persistent and obnoxious!)
•Track everything. Don’t be afraid of mountains of data.
•Social Media isn’t a replacement for other marketing channels and techniques - it plays a support role
