About this title

From the Publisher:

Uncover your nonprofit’s hidden "sales force!" Here’s how to turn your nonprofit’s staff, board, and volunteers into active marketing representatives! Use this new guide to put together a successful promotional campaign based on the most persuasive tool of all: personal contact. Whether your goal is raising funds, recruiting volunteers, or selling tickets, the old saying, "people buy from people," is as true as ever. A postcard, phone call, face-to-face visit, even an e-mail—from someone we know—cuts through, gets our attention, and is more likely than anything to get us to act. Marketing Workbook Volume II: Mobilize People for Marketing Success shows you how to mobilize your entire organization, its staff, volunteers, and supporters in a focused, one-to-one marketing campaign.
