Marketing With A Mission – Nonprofit View
“How-to use
word-of-mouth-marketing”
Today there are so many good
causes to support. The fact still remains; there are more nonprofit causes than
available funding. Many governmental agencies and private foundations are
having to cutback on financial support given to nonprofits. Making it almost
impossible for many nonprofits to keep their doors open.
How
can a nonprofit organization remain open if there are no more available funds?
Theses are changing times and if nonprofit organizations want to continue to
exist they must change with the times for survival.
Understanding the marketing trends and practices
can be a real challenge. Nonprofits have to gain media attention for their
causes. What this means is that nonprofit organizations have to create a buzz
surrounding their mission and cause.
This practice will walk you through developing
and designing a word-of-mouth-marketing campaign. Ideally, this practice will
put your nonprofit in the top running to gain attention and gather financial
supporters for your cause.
The Nonprofit Road To WOMM Fundraising
- Make sure that your nonprofit is setup for
success. The nonprofit must be
in complete compliance before launching your fundraising campaign. Nonprofits
should reveal their tax-exempt status to every individual that they
approach for financial support. Typically most nonprofit organizations
hold a tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 c 3
organization. It is very important that nonprofits know what can be
considered as tax deductible when launching a fundraiser. You want to gain
the trust of your supporters for years and years to come.
- Create brand awareness for your nonprofit cause. Make sure that the public knows who you are,
what you do, and why it is significant. This practice is best demonstrated
by gathering media exposure for your nonprofit. Press coverage for your
nonprofit should consist of repeated publicity for your organization.
Constant interviews on radio stations, television stations, magazine
articles, etc. Hiring a public relations specialist is a good way to
accomplish this goal. Contact Mosnar Communications, Inc.
- Incorporate allies in volunteers, friends, family, employees,
etc. Creating champions for your nonprofit mission and cause is an impetus part
of survival. These individuals will tell other individuals about your
organization! Helping your nonprofit to gain more exposure and financial
supporters to fight your cause. Honorable mention awards are always a great way
to encourage allies to spread the word about your nonprofit. Including their names
in newsletters, websites, etc. At the end of the day this makes your allies
feel extremely appreciated. If your
nonprofit can afford to buy a gift certificate from a restaurant or retail
store that is a great way to say thank you.
- Educate the public about your nonprofit. One
of the most effective ways to provide the public with information about your
nonprofit is through the Internet. Your website should be the storybook of your
nonprofit. The website should provide important information surrounding happenings,
events, breakthroughs etc. Here is a simple way to establish a website for your
nonprofit in minutes, get a website tonight (click here).

they feel. Gather first hand information about how your supporters feel.
