Social Media As a Developement Tool?

Yes, why not? In today’s fast paced society sometimes the only tool you have is social media! Facebook has revolutionized the idea of advertising, speaking, and communicating; whether it is a local business, a charity, or even your relationship status; the point being, news travels faster by word of mouth. To spread the word about our amazing organization and your own personal efforts why not use social media as a tool.

 

Instead of, or in addition to the Facebook application, LIKE the “March of Dimes” page and share their posts on your wall. Always enter the link to your March for Babies personal page in your status or comments. This helps your friends understand why you’re asking for their support and easily link them to your page to donate.
