#SocialCRM

Social Media is the Quick Fix

Social media has become the latest “fix” for creating better relationships with our donors and constituents. •  You HAVE to have a

presence on Facebook and Twitter

•  Your board wants LinkedIn and Instagram.

•  Snapchat? That’s the next generation of donors! Right?

#SocialCRM

Leap before you look!

Far too often, organizations jump into social media too fast for fear of being left behind. •  They leap forward without a

solid strategy or defined goal. •  They don’t research the most

effective social channels. •  They skip over creating a

strategy to define how to interact with new audiences once they have them.

#SocialCRM

So what did Social Media do?

As a result, organizations end up knowing very little about how social media is actually helping their cause.

#SocialCRM

Tons and Tons of DATA

Quick adoption of social channels creates lots of data Silo’d data Useless data, never to be effectively analyzed Never offering insight to challenges you face

#SocialCRM

This is not a new experience

Social media is just another channel, another way to communicate with the people important to our organizations. What has always worked? Finding the right mix of: •  Technology •  Tools and Techniques •  AND Strategic Vision

and Planning Finding the right mix will create better relationships with donors and constituents.

#SocialCRM

#jennsmith’s 5 rules re: Social Media 1.  You don’t have to be

everywhere. Really, you don’t.

2.  Know where you can find your audience.

3.  Two-way engagement – it’s not just a stupid marketing term!

4.  Know what you are trying to answer or solve through your social media strategy.

5.  Think beyond growth.

#SocialCRM

So what social data is worth tracking?

Ask this: Is it actionable?

Will it create change? Will it help you serve your constituents better?

#SocialCRM

What do you bring back into your CRM?

•  What’s that 360 degree view look like?

•  Decisions driven by overall strategic goals.

•  Ask: What data will support your goals if it’s added to a donor profile?
