If We Were A Ministry or Non-Profit
As we mentioned in this post and this post, over the next several days we’ll be living vicariously through different businesses to show how we might use social media to help connect with our customers and grow our business.
Next up are ministries and non-profits. If we were a ministry or a non-profit organization, here are a few things we would do:
- We’d build awareness for our organization through Twitter, Facebook, and other channels.
- We’d connect with like-minded ministries and organizations to help spread the word and connect with more people.
- We’d invite interaction from our friends and followers, and build platforms to better connect with our user-base. For churches, this could be a church management system, or online social media network to help better connect the congregation.
- We’d build additional donation channels to help drive funding support.
- We’d integrate social media platforms with other traditional forms of media (For example, like the Haiti earthquake event, we’d combine Twitter streams with text donations, or Facebook pages with print advertising.)
- We’d create videos and post photos about what we’re doing, and how we’re doing it. We’d post interviews with community leaders, and testimonials from people we’ve helped.
