Not only does this reduce stress levels, but they offer great tools to let you know the best times for engagement on a post. Automate those announcements and be ready for the campaign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spread the word \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind everyone at your organization to share posts as they\u2019re able to. Encourage their friends and family to join. The more eyes on your campaign, the better! It\u2019s one of the easiest requests you can make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tagging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the campaign, tag supporters, companies, or anyone involved. This broadens your reach and shows gratitude towards those helping you, especially major donors! Take this as an opportunity to publicly thank everyone that\u2019s involved in any way. Whether it was a company that matched gifts, major donors or sponsors, recognition goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always include a link\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This might seem obvious, but always link back to your campaign. Your call to action should always be clear. In every post after the launch it\u2019s critical to include a link. Not only does this drive traffic to the page for supporters to donate, but it helps those that aren\u2019t familiar with the campaign. If they see shared posts and want to get involved, they now understand your mission and what to do without searching your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t say this enough, but, use images in almost all your posts. Social media is a huge focal point for many nonprofits. Your social posts should still be aimed at connecting people to your organization. Blocks of text will get lost \u00a0in the sea of Giving Tuesday hype. Social network algorithms work best with images, especially with X\u2019s limited 280-character count. Use images as an effective and powerful tool.
