    Branding Marketing Plan Corporate Branding
    As Branding and marketing professionals, we have an in-depth understanding of the importance of a marketing plan. However, not everyone recognizes the benefits of investing in a strategic marketing plan
    All nonprofit communication begins with writing. Writing a marketing plan. Writing an annual report, a PSA TV script, a PowerPoint speech, a Web page.

    It's a challenge to write messages that will stick with people and motivate them. People are bombarded with so many messages, how can you try to make sure you penetrate through all the clutter? Too often we see nonprofit literature that is internally focused, or not focused at all, leaving readers grasping for the purpose of the piece.

    The key to nonprofit communications can be simplified if you focus on three key questions:

    1. Define your audience:
    Create a mental picture of one individual. Write personalized language directed at your mental model.

    2. Define your purpose.
    What do you want your audience to DO?
    How do you want them to RESPOND?
    • Call for a free brochure?
    • Stop in for an initial consultation?
    • Visit your website?
    • Mail back a reply card?
    • Read to their children 20 minutes a day?

    Have a clear action step in mind!

    3. Make an offer.
    • This step is often neglected.
    • This step shapes everything else.
