• Resources – time, money, skills – regularly updated, reviewing, responding, promoting

• ‘Channels’ – choices, input, links, policies

• Tribes and followers – who, when, how, expectations

• Management – senior level understanding, commitment, involvement

Digital Marketing/Fundraising plan – review

• How do you check ‘return on investment’?

• Regular reviews - usage, hits, comments and responses

• Benchmarks – measure now, then at regular intervals

• Analysis of ‘typical follower’ – guinea pigs, focus group

• Be clear of things that aren’t working

• How do you improve, create more interest – wider/deeper audiences?
