  1. How To Add Friends and Influence Opinions

  2. The new ‘ME’ generation • We used to listen to the radio, and they decided what songs to play • Now, it’s MY music on my MP3 player • We used to buy a CD or record • Now, we only download the songs we want • We used to watch TV programs when the networks showed them • Now TiVo records them

  3. Even letterman’s jackets

  4. The Generations • Baby Boomers – 1946-1964 • Generation X – 1965- 1979 • Generation Y – 1980- 1994 • Generation Z – 1995- now

  5. What To Do With Social Media • Is Social Media a Fad? • Or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution? • Well, as of this year, Gen Y’ers outnumber Baby Boomers • And 96% of Gen Y have joined a social network • 48% of all Americans over age 12 have a Social Network profile

  6. Why you ‘Auto’ be involved in Social Media • 25% of Ford’s marketing spend is on digital/social media • Ford is the ONLY U.S. auto company that didn’t take a government loan • Coincidence?

  7. More Ford…. • “You can’t just say it. You have to get the people to say it to each other.” James Farley CMO, Ford

  8. How they’re using it • Ford reintroduced the Fiesta to the U.S. in 2010 • 37% of Generation Y were aware of the new Ford Fiesta via social media before its launch in the U.S.

  9. Ford Fiesta – Cutting Edge?

  10. What’s it worth? • “When I’m asked about the ROI of social media, sometimes an appropriate response is, ‘what’s the ROI of your phone?’” Erik Qualman ‘Socialnomics’

  11. Internet Fundraising • We’re all striving to raise money online like… • Barack Obama, of course • The President has 5 million fans on social media • 3 million online donors contributed $500 million to his 2008 campaign • 92% of donations were in increments of less than $100!

  12. United Way’s social media model • For UWSC, we have take it slowly toward this kind of fundraising • Our fundraising model is still largely based on the workplace campaign and payroll deduction • It worries us that someone might give to UW online, then decide not to give (a larger gift) when they get a pledge form at work.

  13. What does this concept mean for UW? • United Way’s model used to be you donated money to UW, and a committee of volunteers determined which agencies got the money • More and more of today’s donors want to designate their contributions to specific agencies • It’s also easier than it used to be for people to donate directly, so UW must bring other ‘value adds’ to the process

  14. So, what do we do with Social Media? • The best description I’ve heard of what non-profits can do with social media is the same thing all of us do with it… • Talk to our friends… • It’s a conversation, it’s not about shouting at your public

  15. People’s perception of us… • Are you communicating to your public in a way that the message you’re sending is the same as the message the audience is receiving? • It’s important to keep your audience in mind when you reach out to them

  16. What do you see?

  17. United Way’s rules of three

  18. Education, Income & Health • There are basic things that we all need for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, income that can support a family through retirement, and good health. • Message Supports: • United Way is focused on the building blocks for a better life*: • Education: Helping children and youth achieve their potential • Income: Promoting financial stability leading toward independence • Health: Improving people’s health
