1. Leverage that expertise…in ways they understand.
Be sure to convey your passion & expertise in a language your audience will understand. Don’t get too technical.
Use visuals and graphics to turn complex data into easy-to-understand pictures.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask your audience for help.
Having trouble figuring out your audience’s language? Survey your friends and family to see how they describe all the wonderful things your nonprofit does. Don’t know how to reach out to your audience? Ask them what they prefer!
3. Find a key message that will truly stick.
Create a key message that closes the gap between what your audience knows and what you want them to know. Good messaging is: Concise, Memorable, Consistent, & Repeated Often.
4. Share stories.
Storytelling will bring your website and your cause to life. Don’t talk about what your nonprofit does for others; let them tell their own story!
6. Measure, measure, measure!
Tools like Google Analytics can help you analyze what is working and what is not. Choose keywords that you can use on ALL pages by testing them out on Google Ads.
7. If you fail, try try again!
