Many nonprofits are dabbling in the practice of social media, but the question remains: how can nonprofits be truly successful in social media? What does success look like, anyway? Will we raise any money with this? Is that what’s important? How should we budget for it? This session will answer those questions by providing a blueprint for nonprofit success in social media. Speaking from their history in social media for nonprofits, the session leaders will discuss topics including:

  • Defining success for social media
  • Ways to achieve ROI
  • Epic brand campaigns (think Evolution or Old Spice) versus grassroots movements – what really works?
  • Different types of social media and how they’re useful
  • Percentage of marketing investment for social media
