The Science Behind Engaging your Supporters

SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

Sounds great, right? Think about Board members, employees, volunteers, donors, and social media followers who can serve as ambassadors. Whether your ambassador communicates with their friends and family via phone, text, email, or social media is up to them. Maybe you could create some social graphics with dogs in tutus?

The script should provide insight into the nonprofit by following to the common writer’s mantra of “show don’t tell.” Raise awareness about who you are and what you do and inspire people to act by offering a donation, spreading the message over social media, or by taking some other specific action.

It’s a great idea to prepare an outline to follow, or a script to rehearse, so that you’ll be confident, clear, and determined! However, if you’re posting on social media or sending out a newsletter, small talk should just be warm and fuzzy talk, plain and simple. Transition. Connect/ Discuss/ Educate. Be brief and be yourself.

Similar to a wedding, write down all the photos you think would be helpful to have for social media, appeals, newsletters, etc. While captions may sound outdated, the reality is people read them.

Script your “narration” so you can shoot the right material to illustrate what you are talking about.
