How do you engage with donors? Has it become more challenging because of today's rapidly changing innovation? With so many distracting and competing sources for attention, contributions and volunteerism, not for profits are facing challenges with gaining repeat and new donations due to changing donor expectations. From Google to Facebook, the App Store and GroupOn, there seems to be an unlimited amount of information and access for nearly free. How can your organization stand out amongst the crowd and keep up with donor expectations? Donors want to feel valued to their contributions and and connected to their causes constantly! 

 

It's time to start leveraging innovation and stop competing with it. Move away from the transaction relationship that defines many not for profits to a more social, human relationship. Join me as I share tips, tricks, and tools to how you can leverage Social CRM to adapt to a new era in donor expectations. We'll cover utilizing external social media monitoring, CRM Integration, online communities, member scoring and more. Regain relevance and exceed donor expectations with your own innovation for now and years to come!
