Apr 29, 2022

Whether you’re new to social media or not, remember the real value lies in how the platforms can help you build deeper ongoing relationships with your supporters.

Here are some ways to turn your social media followers into potential donors

Post content that involves others in your fundraiser story
Successful crowdfunding relies on telling your story well. To inspire social media donations, ask yourself how it can help you tell your story in a way that engages and involves your followers as it unfolds.One post with a dozen comments is better than a dozen posts with none. Post updates that make people want to become part of your story and share it. Here are some ways to encourage deeper involvement from followers:
  • Share how the campaign is doing. Use posts to demonstrate their continuing need or progress toward their goal.
  • Interview past donors about why they supported your cause.
  • Thank donors on social media and tag them.
  • Tag people, organizations, and fundraising event venues that relate to your fundraiser.
  • Share photos and videos.
  • Share any mentions of your fundraiser in media.
  • When people comment on your posts, reply.
Publicly thank followers, supporters, and donors
Thanking people publicly helps spread positive emotions through all social spheres. Every time someone makes a donation, thank them and tag them so their friends and followers see that they’ve donated. You may inspire some of their friends to do the same.

Focus on your relationships with followers and boost overall engagement with your posts and profile. You can turn more of your social media followers into donors and supporters.
