How to link your various new media tools into one cohesive plan (talking points)

1) Define your objective both institutionally and for each project

2) Define the audiences that will support your plan

a. Do you have a call to action? What is your point?

3) Where are they? Pewresearch.org

a. Facebook: 90.8 million viewers, 54% female, 18-34 46%, 77% white, 52% no kids, 59% 60k-100k income, 42% college education

b. Twitter: young adults, households under $30K, people who use other social networks, internet users, and bloggers. Another piece claims number of govt Twitter users quickly increasing.

c. Youtube:

d. MySpace: primarily non college bound, higher percentage of Latinos and Blacks. Also many musicians

e. iPhone: 31 years, 72% Male, 58% College, Income 75k

f. LinkedIn: Age 41,  64% male, 34% own SMART PHONES, College graduates 80.1%, Overlap with Facebook 82%, Twitter 31%, MySpace 36%

4) What message will reach your target audience?

a. Research

b. Trial and error

5) Up until this point, this is traditional marketing – in fact your online plan should be your marketing plan. New media and traditional media are misnomers. It is all the same things – the tools are simply much less expensive and easier to target online.

6) Set employee expectations

a. How much time can each staff person dedicate to this project

b. Who is in charge of this project

c. How will you measure success (links, retweets, number of participants, etc)

d. How does the information flow

i. Institute feed

ii. Individual feeds act as filters

e. Write a clear definition into the job description of each employee

f. Writing standards

i. Spell check

ii. Vocabulary

iii. Length

iv. What is inappropriate

7) Pull the trigger, seek ways to automate if appropriate

The personal touch is necessary

9) An example structure

10) Evaluate results at least monthly and after each major campaign

09:08 Laurel : Good question, Dave!

09:09 Jennifer : How do you determine the $$ amount?

09:09 GrantCallen : If this is a first meeting and you don’t intend to ask for money on the first visit, how do you help earn a 2nd visit?

09:10 nicolesauce : AAAH garbage removal…

09:10 TracieSharp : right on cue

09:11 TracieSharp : how to make the ask when the donor starts off by saying they have to reduce their giving due to economy?

09:12 Mari : ‘economy’ always seems like an excuse

09:13 TracieSharp : shoudl you ask differently if it’s an individual or corporation or foundation – or all same approach?

09:14 Dave Williams : Potential and current donors seem to want a balance of accomplishments and what needs to be done.

09:15 Francisco JMI : How should you make a donor aware of your expectations for the meeting BEFORE the meeting?

09:15 Mari : silences can be uncomfortable but are needed

09:16 LaurenintheHeartland : Many people want to give to new projects that do not help you offset general operating costs.  How do you steer people to help pay for current projects?

09:16 mary : should you always make sure you tell the prospective donor your expectations before the meeting

09:16 GrantCallen : Would you ever start the mtg by tell the donor that at the end of the mtg you are going to ask them for $5,000?

09:17 Mari : follow foundation rules perfectly!

09:17 Jennifer : can you repeat the question

09:17 Jennifer : having a hard time hearing Laurel read the question

09:18 Laurel : Sorry Jennifer!  This is in response to Fransico

09:18 Jennifer : You mentioned the importance of a Dev. Plan – what should it include?

09:21 nicolesauce : Can laurel lean closer to the computer when asking questions?

09:21 Laurel : I’m moving closer even as Daniel speaks!

09:22 nicolesauce : that wasgood — i could hear you laurel!!

09:22 TracieSharp : talking too much!

09:23 TracieSharp : can you talk about  preparation before the meeting if two or three of you from one organization are going? (who says what, etc.)

09:24 Mari : how many people do you think should go the ask visit?

09:26 TracieSharp : should you always try to arrange the meeting around a meal, like lunch, dinner, etc – or better to just meet in their office?

09:27 GrantCallen : How do you collect from a first-time prospect that ends the meeting by saying, Ill send you some money next week and then they never do?

09:28 TracieSharp : What do you think about asking a business owner /donor for a tour of their facilities, esp if they make things?

09:29 Laurel : No more questions, please–we’ll wrap up now to keep in the 30 minute range!

09:30 Jennifer : boooo – Laurel!!

09:30 nicolesauce : Can Daniel give us a short list of coming episodes?

09:30 TracieSharp : Any funny anecdotes, awkward situations that you had to talk your way out of? i.e., what to do with an eccentric donor?
