General Best Practices for Social Media Content
Concept Description
Feet on the Ground IFAW employee in Haiti producing content: posts, videos, micro-messages
Video Footage Video is more informative, compelling, universal, and less work for the visitor
Story-telling Blog posts and video clips tell a story, starting with demonstration of need and ending with successful delivery of service
Mission-focused Social content is a 1st hand account of IFAW’s work, and incorporates the animals and people
Unique Coverage This social content has a unique angle and is not available via any other media outlet
Emotive Story-telling captures the challenges, heart-break, frustration, sadness, joy, etc. of the work and of the situation
Demonstrate Benefit
Content demonstrates the value of the services provided by IFAW.

JP
Page #44 © 2010 Blackbaud
Big Takeaways for IFAW
ARCH coalition very effective: operations + fundraising
Care2: CPM chaperoned donation appeal very effective
Careful regarding restricted donation funds: IFAW allocated donations to “Emergency Response” not uniquely Haiti
Tune fundraising appeals to response and circumstances – don’t get greedy
IFAW emergency response team supported fundraising
