Social Media tips
Social media can play a big role in fundraising – beyond simply asking for donations. You can use social media to reach more people, inspire more action and raise more money. It can be as simple as sharing what you are doing, videos, images and inspirational stories.
- Add a call to action - share your fundraiser on Facebook. Use active language (Click, Share, Donate Now) to get people to take action right away.
- Make it as easy as you can for people to donate, we can help you set up a donation page.
- Tell your story - by using photos and hashtags on your posts. We use #peoplehelpingpeople and you can too. Another good one is #helpie - a picture of yourself helping. Create your own hashtag for your fundraising campaign.
- Keep us in the loop - we can share and like what you're up to, it may help to get the word out about your fundraising initiative.
- Tap into existing networks – reach out to existing Facebook groups, Instagram and Twitter chats and other online communities where people share common values with you. Building a relationship with one supporter can quickly turn into many.
- Get the word out - Invite all your friends, family and workmates to like and interact with your fundraiser. Likes, comments, shares and retweets will be seen by their friends as they appear on timelines and in news feeds – effectively advertising your cause.
- Keep your message simple – use straightforward messaging that won’t overwhelm. Show people they can be part of something big by doing something small.
- Create an event on Facebook - If you are hosting a fundrasing event be sure to create it on Facebook it tends to have a snowballing effect.
- Don’t forget to say thank you - Social media offers a quick way to publicly recognise those helping to promote your fundraising efforts. You might even create a short thank you video.
