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.

Target A Well-Defined Audience
-If you know your audience, and you listen to them AND ENGAGE - you’ll be more successful.
-Take care to identify your audience on each social media network.
---Don’t assume all social media platforms are the same.
-Don’t assume your audience will respond the same from one network to the next.
-When engaging on several different platforms, pay attention to how your audience reacts differently in each and be prepared to respond accordingly.
