  • The Future of Charity Marketing (Chapter 5: Social Media Marketing in an Ever-Changing Landscape)

    Routledge

    Charities play an increasingly important role in our society. Whether caring for the vulnerable, campaigning for change or enabling access to the arts, they are organisations on a mission, underpinned by social purpose. However, charities now face unique challenges in a turbulent global economic climate due to structural changes in society post Covid and pressure on disposable incomes. Charities need to transform and, in some cases, modernise for sustained increasing demand from their service…

    Charities play an increasingly important role in our society. Whether caring for the vulnerable, campaigning for change or enabling access to the arts, they are organisations on a mission, underpinned by social purpose. However, charities now face unique challenges in a turbulent global economic climate due to structural changes in society post Covid and pressure on disposable incomes. Charities need to transform and, in some cases, modernise for sustained increasing demand from their service users. They need to engage with a wider range of stakeholders, meet higher public expectations on transparency and governance and compete for resources from existing as well as a continuous range of new competitors.

    This book brings together leading scholars to think about what is needed to future proof the nonprofit sector in areas such as partnerships, collaborations, branding, communications, income generation and fundraising, stakeholder involvement and meeting the future needs of service users. This edited collection builds upon the research in the editors' first book Charity Marketing: Contemporary Issues, Research and Practice to challenge students, researchers and practitioners in understanding the challenges and opportunities ahead and think about how to future proof nonprofit marketing.

    Drawing from a diverse group of academics and deep-thinking practitioners, The Future of Charity Marketing focuses on how charities can prepare for the future through sharing big ideas and examples of best practice. Presenting contrasting perspectives and the latest thinking on a range of challenges, this book gives topics for classroom debate, identifies areas for future research and offers practitioners useful insights.

    Low Budget Campaign Category Award Winner for Dishmatic's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
    Working alongside Target Group to support activity across social media.

    Instagram and Facebook pages turned pink for the month with posts sharing useful and educational information from the charities; Against Breast Cancer in the UK, Young Pink Sisters in Australia and Breast Cancer Ireland.

    A weekly, pink-themed competition on Instagram asked people to take on different cleaning challenges and share their photos. As well as tying into the pink theme of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it also tapped into the popular cleaning trend of Pink Wednesday. Collaborating with two micro-influencers helped to boost the number of entries. The #DishmaticPinkChallenge had four weekly winners with everyone who took part during the month entered into a prize draw to win a bumper pink cleaning prize bundle.

    Brew for Breast Cancer; a virtual tea party also encouraged the cleaning community to get together (while adhering to coronavirus restrictions), supporting the campaign and encouraging further UGC content.
