How social media keeps volunteers engaged

Social Media updates to a real-world event keep volunteers informed and engaged.

Social Media updates to a real-world event keep volunteers informed and engaged.

As part of a recent social media event campaign we ran for a non-profit organization, we aggregated all of their event content and volunteer’s social media output into a single spot. The purpose behind this was to increase the visibility of the event and highlight their good works as well as give potential donors an opportunity to donate.

What we didn’t realize is how important the online event coverage was for the volunteers who had to stay behind to monitor phones and deal with logistical problems. Many of these volunteers had spent months preparing and planning, but had no way to actively participate in the event that was their biggest fundraiser. With this site, they could easily follow the progress of the event, get instant volunteer feedback, and feel like they were there.

Do you have people who need to stay in the office when big company meetings or conferences take place? Or volunteers that man the phones just in case something happens? We can help you pull your video and social media output together so no one is left behind. Contact us at info@primefunction.net.
