Website Upgrades: How to Do It
• Accept that the site will never be done. Lobby now for annual website tinkering budget.
• If overhauling, move to a CMS/template that allows you to switch out modules or blocks.
• Add content that makes the site feel more real-time (e.g. social media feeds, dashboards).
• Add more faces/people stories.

Add Tracking Dashboard: How to Do It
• Figure out a few key indicators of progress (ideally) or activity (better than nothing).
• Work on an engaging way to share on your site.
• Add regular updating to your to-do list!

Segment More Email: How to Do It
• Figure out what technology you’ll use to track data about people. See idealware.org, click on Managing Constituents
• See what you already have available to you. See your email analytics, registration forms, donation history, etc. Are you storing/using that data?
• To which groups can you provide specialized content, or communicate more/less frequently?

Mobile Friendly: How to Do It
• Know what your website and email look like on smartphones and tablets. Fix what is easy; plan to fix what’s not.
• Priority Email Fixes: Buttons are big enough to click, and landing pages from email clicks are mobile friendly.
• Explore: Website CMS plugin versus separate mobile website.
• If you use QR codes, make sure they land on mobile friendly pages!

Get Intentional and Strategic: How to Do It
• Really examine what’s working and what’s not.

• This means having clear guidelines about what you put there and WHAT YOU DON’T.

Pick a Playground: How to Do It
• Where other nonprofits are playing: Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+
• Worry less about strategy right now, and instead focus on experimenting and seeing what happens.
• When in doubt, try a mix of updates that encourage followers to Do (calls to action), Think (information) or Feel (most powerful, from anger to humor).

Share Progress via Video: How to Do It
• Watch progress or annual report videos from other nonprofits and note their patterns.
• If you have two minutes of video time, think about what you would say/show.
• Format as “thank you” videos, or annual reports, or “here’s what happened after that fundraiser”

Broccoli and Cheese: How to Do It
• The Broccoli: What are the topics your organization wants/needs to talk about?
• The Cheese: What do your supporters and participants read, use or otherwise engage with the most – regardless of your preferences?
• How can you deliver both?
• Can you lure with cheese and then suggest the broccoli?

Curate Something: How to Do It
• What are you sorting through anyway, because you have to or because you want to?
• On what topics could you easily add some value (e.g. commentary, categorizing, best of . . . )
• Make this a regular habit and part of your editorial calendar
![Page 22: 13 Nonprofit Marketing Changes to Make in 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062708/55892110d8b42a92508b4648/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Repurpose and Multi-Channel: How to Do It
• Get over it: repetition is good, especially when done right.
• Identify what stays consistent (e.g. call to action) and what can be changed.
• Everything new goes into at least three channels.
• Build repurposing into your workflow and editorial calendar from the start.

Reshare Your Greatest Hits: How to Do It
• Watch what people like (it’s the cheese thing again).
• Reshare especially on Twitter and Facebook where even great stuff is easily overlooked.
• Reshare the really, really good stuff via email and/or blog.
• Just resend it, or package as “Best of” or “Top Ten”

Play with Meaningful Metrics: How to Do It
• Track what people respond to: clicks in email, website traffic, interactions on Facebook. Talk about it and then experiment.
• If the numbers don’t give you information you can act on, so what?
• What does it mean if certain numbers go up, down, or stay the same?
