Does trying to manage all your social media accounts feel like running on a hamster wheel that never stops? Do you struggle to find the time to manage your social media engagement and think of creative content? Are you grappling with which platforms are mission aligned for you at this time? Do you ever wonder how you can make social media work more effectively for your organization?
Nonprofit and social enterprise organizations are often run by small teams and volunteers, with resources and budgets stretched thin. With organic reach plummeting in favour of ad dollars, you may be wondering how to optimize your efforts. Perhaps you are following along, having conversations and questioning what social media platforms align with your mission. Organizations need to keep a pulse on social media news and updates in order to use platforms effectively to showcase their mission, find donors and tell their story.
The rTraction team wants to show you that with some strategy that includes planning, execution and reporting, social media can be an effective marketing tool. By doing the upfront work you can receive a drastic boost in authentic engagement with your online community, productivity can skyrocket, improve consistency and then move to measurement and improvement. They want to share with you the tips and tricks so that you can move managing social media from being a problem to something you look forward to.
