  7. Lesson 1: • Key Concepts: • Look for ways to get rid of your middlemen • Are little fish acting big near you? Did you know that you can act big too by acting small?

  13. LESSON 2: • Key Concepts: • Make your content/case for support easily sharable. • Let your donors represent you. Empower them with your tools of fundraising. The following 1.5 million Is a big number

  14. LESSON 3: Viral Stewardship Learned from “sad experience” Viral Marketing at its finest! Maybe not

  15. LESSON 3: Viral Stewardship • Our Five Fold Method: • Listening tools • Analysis tools • Engagement rules • Platform for engagement • Communication process modifications

  16. Gatorade Mission Control • Listening & Gather: • Blogs, websites, Facebook, Twitter…. • Tools: HEP Social Media Scan, Radiant6, Sysomos. • Analyzing data: • looking for sentiment, key influencers, trending topics • Tools: Sysomos, Radiant6, SPSS Modeler

  18. Jet Blue VS SouthWest • Methods: 1-3

  19. Method Four: Engagement Platform

  20. Method Five: Communication Process Modifications • Comm One: Thanks for getting involved • Comm Two: We are half way there • Comm Three: We did it, good job, you and your friends did the following. Your money has been set to work. • Comm Four: Six months to a year later report back on what happened as a result and lessons we learned as a NPO. • Comm Five: You liked this, you may also like…

  21. LESSON 3: • Key Concepts: • Viral marketing must be met with viral stewardship. • Your donors expect to be involved if you use these tools. You can’t set up shop on a social site and then ignore everyone. People get the drift pretty quick. That said you can also build processes that don’t require scaling headcount as you scale users.

  22. Summary • Control: Is it yours or theirs? Think about how you can offer a service to your donors that previously was only available via a middle man or only available to the wealthiest of donors. • Virality: It is simple marketing math. Empowering your donors to represent you and share with their friends and family adds up fast. • Stewardship: Ignore it and be ignored. Are you really who you say you are? Do you really care about all your donors. Here is your chance to use technology to actually make good on some of those statements. If you don’t engage, respond to and provide the value your donors are now expecting they will simply go somewhere else • “It’s not about the bike”
