7 Effective (and Affordable) Marketing Tips for Nonprofits on a Budget Marketing your nonprofit’s mission can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re working within a tight, or sometimes, non-existent budget. However, with a strategic approach, even limited resources can provide great results. Big Deal Company has pulled together some practical tips and tricks to help your nonprofit effectively market your cause without breaking the bank. 1. Know Your Audience The foundation of successful marketing is knowing who you are speaking to. Are you targeting potential clients, donors, or businesses? Each audience has different motivations and needs, so it’s imperative that you tailor your messages accordingly.
2. Use Donor-Centric Language When marketing to donors, make THEM the hero of the story. Use “YOU” language to show how their contribution makes a difference. For example, instead of saying, “Our organization provides food to families in need,” say, “YOU can provide food to families in need by supporting this mission.” This makes the donor feel personally involved in creating change. 3. Leverage Social Media for Free Promotion Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer free tools that can help you reach a larger audience. Focus on:
4. Collaborate with Local Influencers, Organizations, and Volunteers Reach out to local influencers, groups, community leaders, or even businesses that align with your cause.

Big Deal Company always creates an event or campaign Media Kit that can easily be distributed to Board Members or organizational ambassadors so they can help spread the word! 5. Create an Email Newsletter Email marketing remains one of the most cost-effective ways to communicate directly with your audience. Use newsletters to:
6. Utilize Free Tools and Resources There are a plethora of free or low-cost marketing tools that can help you get the job done efficiently:
7. Host Virtual or Low-Lift Events Events don’t have to be expensive to be impactful.
