I sat in on a webinar today led by Kivi LeRoux Miller and Claire Meyerhoff that focused on getting and using great photos. Great photos tell a story. To tell a story, you need some detail and some interesting action in the photo. But a photo of the same group bagging groceries for your food pantry tells much more.

Yesterday, I couldn't resist doing some macro photography of the cling peaches at the Mountain View Farmer's market. Connect in Facebook and group by list. - If these connections are personal enough, I'm finding that Facebook gives us a somewhat better range of interactions than other services.

In 2024, postcards with QR codes designed to make an impact (LOL funny, powerful quotes, beautiful art, photography, etc.) could break through the clutter of tri-fold fundraising appeals and dense print newsletters. The problem is that most print mail from nonprofits is boring. Hang it on their refrigerator?

As you write blog posts, social media posts, appeals, and newsletter articles, keep your message focused on your mission. Use the same language over and over throughout all interactions with donors and prospects, including asks, newsletters, and social media posts. Stock up on photos and stories of the lives you are changing.

Photography: Seek out variety in your photo assets, in both the scenes depicted and the dimensions of the photos. For example, suppose your social media audience on Facebook is largely made up of older supporters. In that case, you can tailor your story on Facebook to focus on the impact of large donations.

I really just literally can’t pass up an opportunity.
