Uncover your nonprofit’s hidden sales force!
Here’s how to turn your nonprofit’s staff, board, and volunteers into active marketing representatives! Use this new guide to put together a successful promotional campaign based on the most persuasive tool of all: personal contact.
Whether your goal is raising funds, recruiting volunteers, or selling tickets, the old saying, people buy from people, is as true as ever. A postcard, phone call, face-to-face visit, even an e-mail—from someone we know—cuts through, gets our attention, and is more likely than anything to get us to act.
