I want to delete all social media, put away my consumption of technologies (I’ve done so a couple of times), but I always go back to market my nonprofit and coffee business. I throw a lot of events, and social media marketing gets me really far. However, I am wondering what other ways there are to connect with donors and buyers without depending on technology, and without hiring people. I wonder what other strategies are out there.
Balancing minimal tech use with effective marketing for your nonprofit and coffee business is indeed challenging. If I were you, I would try leveraging local partnerships for cross-promotion, using flyers or word-of-mouth. Participating in local markets and networking events can directly connect you with potential donors and customers. Traditional media, such as local newspapers and radio, are also effective mediums to use! I also think that maintaining a regular email newsletter or blog can keep your audience engaged without constant reliance on social media.
