21. Seek A Non-Profit Partner That’s Active In Social Media
-Campaigns partnered with causes that have a dedicated social media presence
are more successful.
-It’s not the size of the partner that’s important, but rather their level of
participation in social media and the campaign.
-- -Many people support cause campaigns because they support the partner.
-If the partner isn’t active, or fails to engage their supporters, the campaign will
have an uphill battle.
-Rather than just being a recipient of donations, the partner should play an active
role in the campaign by rallying its fans/customers.
