Social Media<br />
Social media outlets offer multiple ways to connect with current and potential donors. They offer a way to quickly<br />
increase word of mouth by allowing donors and volunteers to proudly post about <strong>the</strong> organization and <strong>the</strong>ir connections<br />
with it. We recognize that <strong>the</strong> EBCH cannot deploy all <strong>the</strong>se social media tactics all at once. We suggest<br />
that <strong>the</strong> EBCH employ <strong>the</strong> “Crawl - Walk - Run - Fly Model” provided by Beth Kanter. Appendix E contains <strong>the</strong><br />
specifics, which also can be found on this website: https://www.educationnest.com/components/com_jshopping/files/<br />
