We tend to focus on people liking and sharing our content, pay it forward and help out someone else.

Paying it forward on social media can be a valuable addition to your social media strategy for a few reasons.

1️⃣ It keeps your tone on social media positive
2️⃣ It shows your willingness to uplift others
3️⃣ It amplifies your organization's mission and values

Spent the morning at Align Center for Workforce Development’s Career Fair at Tecumseh High School.

The biggest surprise for students I talked to… my day isn’t spent on TikTok or making Reels, and they need to prove that social media gets a return on investment.

This time of year, most nonprofit marketing is focused entirely on end-of-year giving.

But, by focusing too much on the “now,” you’re overlooking a valuable 4th quarter consideration:

Many businesses and organizations use this quarter to finalize next year’s budget!💲

While you’re planning your nonprofit’s Giving Tuesday and holiday initiatives, don’t forget to make space in your strategy to promote opportunities for:

🤝 Partnerships
🤝 Sponsorships
🤝 Collaborations

Because, if you don’t, you risk everyone’s 2025 financial plans being finalized... without your nonprofit in them!

Good 4th quarter content balances your nonprofit’s “now” and “later.” That’s why I help my nonprofit clients plan year-end content strategically and in advance… and I can help you do the same!

Live2Lead Adrian has grown so much! I didn’t realize (until I had to initial everyone’s bingo card at the event on Friday 🤣) that it’s been 6 years.

Bill Kenyon - Speaker, Trainer, Coach started hosting the event in 2019. The 2020 event was virtual (so I just have the photo of Bill with Cody presenting the check for Boys and Girls Club) and then it has been back at The Centre 2021-2024.

3 presentations today!

We held a lunch and learn for local schools and then did 2 short talks at the chamber’s business expo about AI in Marketing.

It’s been a long day, but I had fun chatting about marketing and catching up with people at the expo this afternoon.

Adrian Armory 100th Anniversary Gala

Dropped off bingo prizes for my friends at Touch of Home Adult Daycare.

They provide support and respite for families and caregivers by caring for older adults, for a few hours at a time, at their location in Adrian.

Stopped by Dynamic Industrial Supply’s 10th Anniversary celebration to support Shane and his team. I got to try Bussin’ Bowls for the first time at that event (so good!)

Two great examples of smart and driven local small business owners 💙
