Those of us in the association world know that the needs of small staff associations are not very different from the larger organizations. Should we have a private association community?

Instead, be strategic: Profile your ideal donor and then determine their preferred social networks. Actively engage with followers by answering their questions, tagging them in photos and videos, and commenting on and resharing posts they make about your organization. Build strategic partnerships with other organizations.

Nonprofits have to pay full price for advertising on social media. Nonprofits couldn’t expect social media to be free forever. Social networks are for-profits enterprises and their revenue models are almost entirely based on advertising revenue. Don’t. Just block and forget. The Ice Bucket Challenge.

We know that a huge part of what drives year-end giving, #GivingTuesday included, is the sense of community and joy associated with the holiday season. While it’s hard to replicate this feeling across the distance (and through virtual fundraising tools alone), groups on social media remove some of that. Create Twitter groups.

Less abstractly, the CE business of non-profit associations is threatened by for-profit CE providers that undercut the associations’ prices. What should bother us is the possibility of lower educational value being associated with the flood of cheap CE “products” into the market. We are all for it.
