Social Media for Donor Acquisition

Navigate changes now and into the future.

Many charities around the world are struggling to deliver the same ROI they once saw through social media advertising. Today, it is critical that organisations implement the right strategy to make this a viable channel for acquisition. A successful strategy has to be about more than people opening their wallets; it must create multiple moments for audiences to engage in meaningful ways.

In this session, you will dive into data that proves that strategies built around engagement and offering your supporters a range of different ways to give will improve your overall ROI for donor acquisition. Through a Peace Direct case study, you’ll learn how to generate opportunities for genuine engagement across the full marketing funnel.

Finally, you’ll be signposted to the resources you need to build a case for support to implement changes at your organisation.
