Everyone is familiar with the key principles of marketing which are place, promotion, product, and price. Some people have suggested that they should be presence, partnerships, purpose, and proximity. The new model is, however, more fitting for today’s nonprofit world since it is on building quality contacts and content. The following are some of the social strategies for marketing based on this inspiration that will work for nonprofits.

Profiles

This is considered the simplest strategy, and it is normally concerned with the need of creating profiles for a nonprofit on the maximum number of the networking platforms. Whether you use LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr or Twitter go ahead and make your profile before somebody else uses the name that is right for you. This name does not necessarily have to be similar to the name of the nonprofit in question.

Progression
