• Post to your favorite social networks periodically during the leadup to #GivingTuesday using our sharing tools to remind your followers of this convenient option

• Remind your followers through email, newsletters and word of mouth. All they need is a link to your #GivingTuesdaycampaign page

Culminate with a big push on #GivingTuesday
