What I do for a living • Consulting • Direct marketing • Helping businesses sell stuff • Creating retail & web traffic • Customer relationship management/database • Building loyalty & engagement • Stimulating shopping • Strategy • Strategic planning & review • Governance • Mergers, acquisitions & investment
What principles may apply to you? • Everyone is a direct marketer (whether you know it or not) • What works for people who sell things often works for non-profits, too • Measuring matters – what works is not just an opinion • Disciplined planning, execution & measurement works everywhere
Specific issues • Planning & strategy • Governance • Privacy & legal compliance • Need for clear policies • Online • Children • Email unsubscribe & management • Twitter & other social media • Data security
A quick read • Organizations tend to talk in bureaucratese & to posture for their core audience • What are you saying that isn’t true for every other non-profit? • Book is only 67 pages
Don’t say I didn’t warn you • A good book for those who practice presentation without a license The Faulty Causality, Sloppy Logic, Decontextualized Data, and Seductive Showmanship That Have Taken Over Our Thinking
