Social Media for Non-Profits in Canada

Author: Stuart R. Crawford

Today I am up in beautiful Red Deer, Alberta.  I haven’t had the opportunity to come up this way for quite some time.  I believe January may have been that last time I ventured up Highway 2.  Red Deer is a beautiful city and Ulistic is still a member of the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, however we really need to come up and participate more in this vibrant Alberta community.

Our focus today is Social Media for Non-Profits, Ulistic is working with a non-profit organization in Red Deer, assisting them in determining and understanding a social media strategy which can help them focus on those they serve and provide information to the community.   Many non-profits in Canada are concerned about costs and social media when used with purpose can drastically reduce the costs associated with marketing and advertising.

Working with charities, non-profits and others who offer similar services across Canada excites us (I was up bright and early today).  This market is another who are trying to figure out how online services, social media, search engine optimization and communications impacts their business and the way they communicate externally.

Social Media does play a huge role in the non-profit world and sometimes it is easier to attract an audience with these types of organizations or regular commercial entities.  Why?  People love to support a cause and rally behind an organization that is focused on helping those with cancer, the homeless or those who may have other challenges.  Social Media technologies is the perfect vehicle to help promote the cause and attract those in the community.

I am sure today will be an awesome day in Red Deer as we serve the non-profit community with social media support and guidance.
