"Next to actually doing the right thing, it is most important to let people know that you are doing the right thing." – John D. Rockefeller Bring in help when you need it ...And don’t pay for it when you don’t. We can help without breaking your budget in the areas of:
COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING A marketing strategy will help you focus your efforts to achieve best return on investment. The goal will be to assure that your organization:
POWERFUL PRESENTATIONS How you say it is important. An attractive, appealing & professional PowerPoint presentation can make the difference. To be considered effective and professional, your organization must look effective and professional. Our service: We will work with your ideas and concepts and then package them into a PowerPoint presentation that is assured to make a strong impression, while reinforcing your organizational mission and success. NEWS YOU CAN USE Publicity is an inexpensive and effective way to get your story told. Plus, it builds credibility. Occasional articles with a picture of people standing around do not capture the attention of many readers. Local newspapers and magazines welcome well-written, compelling human-interest stories. But, they will rarely approach you to get these stories. Successful publicity makes allies of the media and the public. It generates word of mouth and buzz. With a record of successful publicity, your donations and other community support will significantly increase. Our service: We will establish a schedule of news releases that meets your needs. Each release will be interesting and will highlight how your organization is meeting a community need. A photograph will accompany the releases, whenever feasible, to catch the reader’ s attention. GRANTS THAT CONVINCE Grant reviewers practically beg for well written, logical grant requests that meet their requirements. Reviewers often dig through poorly designed submissions. This creates a negative impression that can influence the decision. Sadly, many otherwise worthy requests are not fulfilled simply because the message was not properly communicated. Grants are normally competitive; this is no time to be careless. Our service: We will help make your grant request stands out from the crowd with well designed narratives that get to the point, careful completion of forms, and photographs (if appropriate) that tell your story. Each grant can also include a PowerPoint (if appropriate) for in-person presentations.
