A lot of orgs have a version of this or a desire to create a program that never quite happens.⁠ ⁠ The sequence and timing should be clear, planned in advance, and automated, when possible.⁠ ⁠ It doesn't have to be boring - the same old "thank you" emails and so on.⁠ ⁠ How could you inspire and engage in a bite-sized way?⁠ ⁠

It might look like this:⁠ ⁠

  • Week 1: Social media shout-out ⁠ ⁠

  • Week 2: Automated email with link to blog with the "Top 5 Things You Should Know About Us”⁠ ⁠

  • Week 3: Mailed postcard or swag item with hand written note⁠ ⁠

  • Week 4: Automated email with a video ⁠ ⁠

  • Week 5: Call to action to volunteer, share, etc.⁠ ⁠

At least 50% of this could be automated! Time saving, relationship developing magic.

You could do the entire sequence as an automated drip campaign via Mailchimp or another email management software.
