DESCRIPTION

Everywhere you turn there are tons of great stories about organizations doing wonderful things online to build communities and engage their supporters through Social Media. But what is it all for? We’ve all heard the sayings “If you build it, it will come”, “the value of Social CRM”, other concepts around understanding what is the value of Social Media. In this session, we’ll explore the notion that the real value of Social Media is not only in the experience of the community itself, but also in having a greater understanding of how your supporters are engaging with your online communities. This information can be invaluable to both marketers and fundraisers as they attempt to communicate to these engaged members of their community.
