Authenticity is everything! Let me say it again: Authenticity is everything! Your audience, whether donors or customers, can see through insincerity. They want to engage with brands that are real, that live up to their promises, and that align with their values. For nonprofits, this means being transparent about how you're creating impact. For small businesses, it’s about standing by your product and mission. People connect with brands that they feel are genuine – so be the brand that’s authentically you. #BrandAuthenticity #NonprofitMarketing #SmallBusinessBranding #BrandLoyalty

The Importance of Post-Event Follow-Ups: Strengthen Connections and Build Loyalty The work doesn't stop when your nonprofit event ends—post-event follow-ups are a crucial step to sustaining engagement and building long-term relationships. Here's why they matter and how you can make the most of them: 💌 Say Thank You Sending a heartfelt thank-you email to attendees, volunteers, and donors shows appreciation for their time and support. A simple "thank you" can make a lasting impression and encourage future involvement. 📊 Gather Feedback Distribute surveys to learn what attendees loved and what could be improved. Their insights are invaluable for making your next event even better. Plus, it shows you value their opinions! 📜 Share Impact Reports Let your supporters know the difference they made! Whether it's funds raised, lives touched, or goals achieved, sharing tangible results strengthens trust and reaffirms their decision to contribute. 📣 Show your supporters that their participation truly matters. Post-event follow-ups aren't just a courtesy—they're a bridge to deeper connections and future success. #NonprofitTips #EventSuccess #PostEventFollowUp #501TechStack

How do you show the impact of your events? Yesterday I worked with a customer on their fundraiser event. They wanted to collect video testimony from event attendees, but weren’t sure what questions to ask to solicit stories. Maybe you want to collect stories from your gathering, too. Here are 7 questions you could consider asking at your upcoming event to collect testimony. 1) What inspired you to attend this event? 2) What has been the best part of today’s event? (or) What one moment sticks out most? 3) How did you first learn about this event? 4) Describe this gathering in one word. 5) What did you learn from today’s event? 6) What’s the biggest impact this event will have? 7) Why should someone come to this gathering next year? Don’t overthink it. Questions don’t need to be overly complicated to elicit good stories. But they do need to be specific, clear, and help point the individual to specific memories or moments in time. Ask great questions to get great stories. #events #fundraisers #storytelling

The day before an event is always a mix of excitement and nerves. No matter how organized everything is, there’s still that little voice in my head wondering, “Did I forget something? Will it rain? Will we make the impact we’re aiming for?” But I THRIVE on this energy. There’s something about an event deadline that’s exhilarating. Once the day arrives, it forces action—there’s no more time for perfectionism, only for things to unfold as they will. It’s a reminder that no matter how much planning goes into it, the real magic happens when people come together. And after the event? That’s when a whole new flow of work begins. It’s not just about what happens on event day, but what we do afterward to connect with participants, celebrate their involvement, and ensure the impact lasts long after everyone goes home. That's always on my mind, even as the pre-event excitement kicks in. What do you do to celebrate your event participants, partners, donors and volunteers? #EventPlanning #NonprofitEvents #CommunityBuilding #PreEventEnergy #MakingAnImpact #EventMagic #ParticipantEngagement #BuildingConnections

As gala season approaches, remember to maximize your efforts by taking time to analyze key performance indicators related to your organization's objectives post-event. Believe us, we know how daunting it can be to revisit a massive event within a few days of it taking place! But the post-mortem is one of THE most important pieces for ongoing success and year-over-year growth. In the week or so following your gala, review feedback from attendees, sponsors, and staff, review your budget, and make note of your biggest money-makers. Consider what worked - what met or exceeded your organization's expectations? What didn't work as well as you'd hoped and will you keep it for next year? Finally, what was missing? Is there anything you want to add to level up your next event?
