3 Reasons Why Your Organization Should Use Canva

3 Reasons Why Your Organization Should Use Canva

By: Katelyn Foehner Communications Manager Big Buzz Idea Group As many nonprofit executive leaders know, your title encompasses much more than what it states. Many executive directors serve as not only the ED but the bookkeeper, event planner, communications guru and everything in between. Finding easier ways to get the job done is essential to fulfilling all your tasks. Insert Canva into the equation to save stress, time and money. Canva is a free-to-use online design platform. While many people use it to create images for social media, Canva can be used to create t-shirt designs, invitations, blog banners, business...

50 Content Promotion Tactics: How to Drive Traffic to Your Next Article

Have you paused to think about all those touchpoints and what type of impression...

Is Your Marketing Missing the Mark?

Is Your Marketing Missing the Mark?

By: Valeria Basso Symphonic Communications Consulting Here is a fact you most likely don’t want to hear but need to: 98% of your marketing is a waste of money.

The truth is that most non-profits miss the mark with their marketing because their message fails to answer a simple question: What’s in it for the donors?

How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media to Meet Goals

How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media to Meet Goals

8 Ways Social Media Can Further Your Mission By: Melissa Lagowski CEO, Founder and Queen Bee, Big Buzz Idea Group When to-do lists run long, social media management is often one of the first things to fall off a busy nonprofit team’s plate. While it’s crucial to stay focused on organizational strategy, building and maintaining a social media presence is a tactic that can help your nonprofit successfully execute that big-picture strategy and meet next-level goals.
