Social Media Matters for Your Non-Profit

Social media marketing– it’s what every non-profit organization needs but few know how to correctly manage.

You may think marketing only deals with making profit; but marketing is actually about how you make and care for relationships through your organization. So even if you may not have “customers,” marketing is very relevant to how you are reaching and engaging with your audience.

More specifically, social media marketing has become one of the most vital tools for your ministry to communicate with your audience, if not the most important one. Did you know that staying virtually connected through social channels is now the #1 online activity?
