How you set boundaries at home or in your personal life directly translates to how you set boundaries at work or in any other part of your life. Your whole life is connected, everything is connected.
Maximize the work that you’ve already done. Create less and send out more frequently and in all channels and forms available.
There are certain metrics you have to watch out for in order to have the information you need in order to know how to proceed in your marketing plan. However in marketing, not everything is measurable.
Just because your members are not sharing your mission, doesn’t mean that they don’t care. They might not just know how. You need to explicitly tell your members to share, if they don’t know how, you can instruct them or advise them to share it in the way that they could.
“Post events, show you guys working in the community and tell the story of how you got to where you are - people like to hear those things, they really do… Whatever your mission is, somebody’s going to want to know about how you started, what can you do for the community, and how they can get involved.”
“Clickthrough rates, are they opening our emails, retention rate, how much money are the donors donating this year vs last year - look at all these things when you create a marketing plan. That’s going to tell you where do we need to continue working on our marketing going forward. ”
“What you wanna do is really make sure that you are keeping the donors that you already have excited and engaged - by keeping that consistency in front of them. Letting them know what’s going on, where’s the money going, getting them excited about what’s to come. ”
