Social media tools for marketing nonprofits

If you’re running a Nonprofit Organization (NPO), large or small, recently launched or you have “been-in-the-game-for-a-long-long-time” status, chances are your nonprofit has encountered the riddle common to all NPOs at some point in time: using limited resources (including time) to tackle a seemingly unlimited number of tasks and objectives. And smart money says you don’t have a marketing consultant with the luxury of time to oversee and maintain a timely synchronization of social media posts. So what do you do? Just tell yourself that you’ll do the best you can and rely on adrenaline (and caffeine) so you can post when you can? Right about now, the world would be a little bit better if you had a way to optimally schedule and execute your posts. Well, we’ve got the tool for you.

Buffer App (buffer.com/app) takes the strain off your social media posting schedule. Whether you’re on a roll and the ideas just keep coming, or you’re in a creative rut, buffer has your back. Sure, we’ve all had our moments when we’re experiencing a mini-creative renaissance; and we’ve all had those times when a good idea is about as scarce as an oasis in the desert. Buffer App is an awesome and simple tool for scheduling posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.

Schedule your posts with ease

The Buffer app gives you the ability to create a free account, allowing you to schedule posts on some of the biggest social media networks. For Pinterest, you would have to upgrade for a small fee. Still, not a bad deal.

With Buffer, you can easily write the posts from within the app and set a time and date for posting. Just imagine: no more logging into your Twitter account every time you need to tweet. Buffer even helps you schedule retweets!

Even better: you’ll find that you’ll spend a fraction of the time brainstorming for new ideas and what to post. That task transitions from a daily grind to a weekly blimp on your radar.

Getting creative with pablo

Tap into your creative side with Buffer’s image creation tool: Pablo. From Buffer’s homepage, Pablo goes to work for you by automatically recommending a new picture paired with a quote to help spark your creativity.  Pablo can even provide a social media post so you don’t have to create it yourself.

You’ll also find that Pablo has an excellent memory. For example, once you upload your logo, it automatically saves this image in the same position. So the next time you return to create a new image or post, your logo shows up in the same place as before.  How convenient is that?

What about financials?
