"The Campaign Prequel: Success Begins Before the Campaign Plan"
In our challenging post-Great Recession environment, more organizations are considering campaigns to expand programs and create budget stability. The competition for donor attention means these organizations must engage in careful planning even before considering a campaign. It starts with an assessment and understanding of the organization's capacity for fundraising. It also requires a clear understanding by the board and staff about the rigors and demands of a campaign.
Based on over 25 years of campaign management experience, this session will review the key topics of strategic planning and board development, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the current marketing and fundraising outreach, and a frank appraisals of the organization's current donor base and stewardship programs. Practical assessment tools will be presented that will help any organization understand its pre-campaign readiness.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will:

"Why and How to Use Social Media to Show Gratitude to Donors"
Did you know that 53% of donors lapse because of poor donor communication? Though social media usage has become pervasive among nonprofits, it is still used primarily for promotion. Those organizations who are utilizing networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to show authentic and personalized appreciation to supporters are reaping the benefits of increased engagement and donor loyalty.
This session will help you discover how to maximize your nonprofit's social media accounts through thankfulness, instead of promotion. We will examine real-life examples of effective social media usage from organizations large and small, as well as the latest research into what works and what doesn't.
• Discover time-honored gift acknowledgement techniques that translate perfectly to social media
• Learn how to formulate a relevant social content strategy for your organization
• Understand data-driven best practices in timing, format and style of social posts across all networks
