Description

Morgan Teel of Dance Waterloo visits the Snapcast to discuss social media strategies for small nonprofits, focusing on Dance Waterloo's approach.


Key Takeaways



  • Dance Waterloo prioritizes meaningful engagement over frequent social media posting, focusing on word-of-mouth marketing (89% trust from friends/family recommendations).

  • Email list growth and strategic, purpose-driven social media use have been successful for the organization.

  • Audience engagement through innovative performance formats (e.g., Spelling Bee) has led to increased attendance and community involvement.

  • Disengaging from constant social media doesn't mean ignoring it; strategic, intentional use is key for small.

  • The difference between audience growth vs. audience depth.

  • Alternative ways to engage: Email lists, word of mouth, hotel/apartment collabs, SMS, and print.
