Title: Marketing
1 Marketing Outreach Best Practices
- NCALL Research, July 2009
2Introduction
- One of the most important jobs of a self-help
agency is the recruitment of families - Without families, the program builds no houses
and benefits no one - For many programs, marketing can be one of the
most challenging tasks
3- No matter what happens, remember these four
rules - Do not get discouraged
- Try something new
- Plan ahead
- Use multiple methods to market
4Review What Has Been Done
- If this program is not new, review what has and
has not worked in the past - If already completed, review the Affirmative Fair
Housing Marketing Plan - The strategies laid out in this document need to
be carried out for the remainder of the program - Rural Development may conduct a review to ensure
that this was followed
5Motivation / Doing Good is Not Enough
- The March 21, 2005 edition of Fortune magazine
included an article entitled The Best Advice I
Ever Got, which included interesting and
inspirational stories. - Vivek Paul, the President and CEO of Wipro
Technologies - The best advice I ever got was
from an elephant trainer in the jungle outside
Bangalore. I saw these large elephants tethered
to a small stake. I asked him, How can you keep
such a large elephant tethered to such a small
stake?
6- He said, When the elephants are small they try
to pull out the stake and they fail. When they
grow large, they never try to pull the stake out
again. That parable is a reminder that we have
to go for what we think we are fully capable of,
not limit ourselves by what weve been in the
past.

8- This tale speaks to how we are as nonprofit
employees - The tether represents our expectations, our small
budgets, our inexperience and our lack of having
other local nonprofits that really raise the bar
in marketing
9- We know we have a great product, right?
- Families that couldnt afford it any other way,
get a home of their own - We tend to just put out some information about
our program and sit back and let interested
persons come to us - We think that the people who need housing will
come - This strategy doesnt work so well
10- Doing good is not enough!
- We have to make people want to join our program.
- We need a plan!!
11- Think about this in terms of going to a doctor
- Shouldnt we all get regular check ups from a
doctor? Probably But how many people do that?
Not many - We usually call for an appointment with a doctor
when there is a problem - We call when we are motivated by being sick and
requiring help - Motivation - We have to make people want to join
our program
12- How about in terms of going to the dentist?
- Not many people enjoy going to the dentist
- Surprisingly these days, kids do, dentists have
motivated them to want to go back - They probably dont care too much about having
their teeth cleaned - They want to go because they get floss,
toothbrushes, they get to pick the flavor of
rinse and paste that they use and at the end of
the appointment they get to pick out a prize from
a basket. That sounds like fun, doesnt it?
13- Self-help groups dont need a prize basket
- But, we do need to figure out what will make
people WANT to get involved in a self-help
housing program - What will inspire them enough to put themselves
through all of the work and dedication that it
takes to be involved with this program?
14- Telling someone they need our product is not as
effective as finding out what they need and
showing how our product meets that need - It's the difference between taking an
educational approach -- laying out all the facts
and hoping that people make a rational decision
-- and a marketing approach -- persuading people
to choose our product because it helps them to be
the kind of person they want to be - This will take work
15Develop a Marketing and Recruitment Plan
16Introduction
- To be successful, there needs to be a plan
- The rest of this manual is dedicated to breaking
down these steps and providing ideas - Allow enough time to accomplish each step

26II. Who is your target market?
- Describe potential clients as much as possible
- In order to get this information
- Survey those who respond to marketing
- Survey clients in your agencys other programs
- Ask other social service agencies for help
- Write down what you now know about them (Be as
specific as possible)
27- Include their
- Values and motivation, places of employment,
where they live, where they shop, eat, what they
listen to and read - Where is the self-help programs target market?
Are they at work, church, home, clubs, PTA, etc. - What radio stations do they listen to? What
programs, what time of day? - What papers do they read? What sections on what
days? - What stores do they go to and when? (Laundromats,
car shops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.)
28Partial Sample List
- Works at local factory, Wal-Mart, hospital
- Shops at Super Fresh, Wal-Mart, 7-11, TJ Maxx,
Target - Lives now with relatives, in apartment, rental
home - Reads Sunday newspaper, weekly community paper,
free shopper - Listens to WKIS and WHLP

30III. How are you going to market?
- Review information from previous list
- Brainstorm with others
- List possible methods
31Partial Sample List
- Community Meetings
- Ads and PSAs
- Newspaper Coverage
- Speak with Local Employers/ Organizations
- School District
- Find community supporter who will help market
- Special Events
- Signs
- Contact organizations, employers, churches, radio
TV stations, newspapers...etc. Let them know
about the program and find out how they can help
get the word out. - What are the costs and are there other free
methods available?
32Develop Your Message
- This area needs to get a lot of your focus
- Before the media is contacted or brochures are
developed, you need to know what it is you want
to say - Dont forget the equal housing opportunity logo
or symbol that must appear in all advertisements - The message is not and should not be intended to
tell everything about the program - Needs to interest them enough to take action
33- Messages need to be designed to achieve goals
- A winning message takes into account what will
work with the audience to build support, this
does not mean restating your goals - It means making your case in a compelling way
34- According to Billy Shore of Share Our Strength,
Non profits suffer from literal sclerosis. - They are so literal about everything that they
dont translate things into language that people
can understand. - Everybody else in communications makes big bold
claims for things they dont really know.
35- The best part of waking up is Folgers in your
cup. Is that really the best part of waking up?
- As a nonprofit we are more likely to argue this
last question for weeks, hold a summit on it, and
then decide that we cant make that claim without
more documentation. We would end up outlining the
numerous physical and psychological benefits of
caffeine ingestion when trying to get going in
the morning, supported by data and charts. One
method sells coffee the other puts people to
sleep.
36- A good example of an effective message can be
seen in the Texas anti litter campaign - The goal of the Dont Mess with Texas campaign
was to keep Texas beautiful and save tax
dollars - The campaign message worked because it hit a
chord, one of state pride, with the target
population of litterbug macho males 15-24 years
old - Lets put litter in its place! would not have
been as effective
37- Mission - Based Marketing
38- A great resource for ideas about nonprofit
marketing is the book Why Bad Ads Happen to Good
Causes by Andy Goodman. Some of his tips for an
effective message are - Capture the readers attention
- Make an emotional connection
- Write a headline that offers a reason to read
more - Use pictures to attract and convince
- Make it readable
- Test before, measure after
- When everyone zigs, its time to zag (Dont be
afraid to try something new and unexpected)

40This is an example of a very ineffective ad.
There is way too much writing and not enough
impact.
41Very effective.
42Again, very simple and effective. Really conveys
a sense of urgency.
43This ad definitely gets your attention and evokes
an emotion.
44- The previous ads definitely make an emotional
connection - Try to do something similar in your self-help
housing marketing - Ask NCALL for help with creating ads if you get
stuck
45Why would they WANT this new home? We have to
make them want it!
46Creating an Emotional Connection
- Why would people WANT to join a self-help
program? Why would they WANT this new home?
Create an emotional connection. - Independence
- Safety
- Security
- Pride
- Respect
- Joy
- Love of their children
47- Those are the things we must market.
- What will your new message be?
48- Following are some more tips to help in
developing your message - The five elements of a message are
- 1) Attract Attention
- 2) Stress Advantages Benefits of Self-Help
Housing - 3) Prove what you say is true
- 4) Persuade
- 5) Ask for action
49- 1) Attract Attention
- To attract the attention of a passerby or a
newspaper reader an attention getter is needed
to create interest. - Build your dream
- We know you care about your familyso do we
- You deserve a home of your ownwe can help
- You can say with pride I did it myself
- Ask me how to join the 24,000 club!
- Own a home and pay less than you pay now in rent
50- 2) Stress Advantages Benefits of Self-Help
Housing - As discussed, the message should be directed at
what the families need and/or want, not just what
the program provides
51- Ask, What qualities and characteristics make the
home attractive and what do the participants get
out of it personally? Why would they want to do
this?? - -Product - the home itself
- -Price - the low cost of the home, the low
interest rate and the money they save - -Self - learning skills, improving their life
- Make a list and prioritize it according to the
most important to the potential families
52Possible Benefits and Advantages
- Self
- Learn a trade
- Build self-esteem
- Self reliance
- Security
- Pride
- Joy
- Love of children
- Privacy
- Product
- New home (no repairs)
- Good quality construction
- Energy efficient
- Good location
- Sized for needs
- Price
- No downpayment
- Low monthly payments
- Moratorium
- Based on income
53- 3) Prove what you say is true
- Four ways to prove your message is truthful
- Testimonials - someone that has gone through the
program in the past speaks of its benefits - Comparative quality - comparing the homes that
will be built with other homes in the area
54- Reputation - If the organization has a good name
in the community, use this to get interested
applicants to believe in the program - Successful performance Once the program has a
positive track record, people can be shown how
well a self-help program works and how nice the
homes are
55- 4) Persuade
- Get potential families to grasp the idea that
they too can enjoy the benefits and rewards of
becoming a homeowner - This is a large task because many never thought
that homeownership was a possibility, it is with
Self-Help Housing!
56- Consider what difficulties will your message have
to meet and overcome - Believing that they can actually become
homeowners - Believing they can build their own home
- Waiting for the catch
- Having poor credit history (Help guide them with
steps to improve their score, then follow up!)
57- 5) Ask for action
- Ask the public to make a decision and act on it
- What specific action do you want people to take?
Ask them to - Call today
- Come by the office
- Attend a community meeting
- Mail in a coupon
- Make an appointment
- Come to an Open House
58- Make it easy
- Have a pocket of informational cards on a poster,
tear off numbers on a flyer, the phone number on
a TV ad, or the date, time and location of an
informational meeting

62Recruitment Methods
63Introduction
- There are many ways to get the message out
- There is no such thing as one method being
superior to another - What works in one area may or may not work in
another - Try many different ways until you find several
that work well - The following slides review some possible methods
64Internet
- Create your own website
- This is a safe way potential clients can look up
info about your program and agency once they
discover it - You control the message here
- Put up photos and testimonials
- Post brochures that can be printed
- Include plenty of contact information
- Blog about your agency and its issues
- Use Facebook and Twitter networking to spread the
word about your programs
65Newspapers
- Daily papers, community weeklies, and weekly
shoppers should be evaluated for reaching the
target market - Paid and free advertising positioning is
critical - Sports section might be great, but not real
estate section - Classified ads work great in some areas
- Activities announcement can be used for community
meetings - Feature articles - provide full coverage at no
cost - Public interest story on potential builders,
actual builders or previous builders to give the
program positive press, how owning a home has or
will change a familys life
66Radio
- Ask the station for its target audience and
segmentation according to time - Morning programs usually have a larger target
listening area - Paid and free advertising available
- Free talk shows, interview shows, classified ad
shows, public service announcements (PSA), spot
radio ads are all possibilities - Local stations may have talk shows where you
and/or Rural Development could be a guest
67Television
- Self-help program could be featured on the local
news, local community forum type programs, or
mentioned through a PSA
68Flyers, Posters, Handouts
- Develop simple, easy to read, attractive flyers
for public distribution - Display them at Rural Development offices,
stores, laundromats, CAP agencies, social service
agencies, community bulletin boards, post
offices, and utility offices - Should be simple, attractive, and informative
- NCALL is available to assist grantees
- Contact jlordan_at_ncall.org for more information
and assistance - Also see chapter Developing Marketing Materials
69Direct mailings
- Can be expensive compared to other methods
- With the right list it can be more rewarding than
a newspaper ad - Rural Developments waiting list, church mailing
lists, or waiting lists for subsidized rental
housing could all be used - A less expensive method could be enlisting the
assistance of social service agencies, AFDC
agency, local employers and the like, to stuff
flyers into their mailings and/or paycheck
envelopes
70Community Meetings
- Holding a community meeting brings a number of
people together to explain the self-help program
and its requirements - Slide shows and videos can be used to help the
potential families visualize what the program
entails - Can be at your agency or present at another such
as Kiwanis, JCs, breakfast or lunch clubs
71Trade shows, human service fairs, mall exhibits
- Consider having a booth at the local human
services fair and other events - While these may be a good way to see a lot of
people, consider the time and effort taken
compared to reaching the target market - Are the potential families going to be at the
location where you are setting up?
72Organizations, HeadStart Centers etc.
- Colleges, trade schools, migrant education
centers etc. - Community Action Agencies know how to reach the
target population - Other contacts local community development block
grant programs, housing authority etc. - Pass out newsletters, flyers, or accept speaking
engagements to explain the program - Meet with social service agency councils
(inter-agency) to share the Rural Development
program and explain process - Write to all social service agencies concerning
the availability of funds and income guidelines - Invite their clients to apply
73Churches
- Meet with local ministerial associations
- Great way to disseminate information in the
community and rural areas - Post announcements in church bulletins,
newsletters, or on bulletin boards, talk to
congregations, challenge churches to sponsor
potentially eligible families within their
congregation
74Local Governments
- Local governments may be able to provide leads
and referrals of potentially eligible families
75Local Employers
- Find employers that have a pay structure that
supports the 502 program's income guidelines - Educate employers and ask their assistance in
reaching workers - Post promotional material on bulletin boards or
in paycheck envelopes - Conduct a special meeting, or set up a table in
their lunch/break room
76Billboards / Outdoor Advertising
- Cost of a billboard may be prohibitive but its
worth looking into - An important part of business marketing
- Effective means of advertising an organizations
programs and services - Why consider using a billboard?
- Outdoor advertising is typically available even
in very small towns - Provides direct marketing right down to the
neighborhood level - Public service message space may be available
because outdoor advertising companies dont want
to have signs with no message
77Other
- Contact members of low-income apartments, arrange
to pass out literature and host a tenants
meeting to see if anyone is ready and willing to
move on to homeownership - See if letters can be sent to persons on the
waiting list for subsidized rental housing
78- Word of mouth can be powerful
- More focused by sending letters to current
borrowers, saying you are seeking more clients
and ask them to spread the word - Twitter or Facebook social networking websites
may help if you think your clientele is involved
with them (FREE!) - Meet monthly with a core group of social service
representatives - brainstorm on how to reach the
target market
79Research
- See the marketing guide for two questionnaires
that may help - Market Research Use this to discover which
methods of recruitment have worked best - Recruitment Survey Use this to determine the
best ways to reach the target market - Develop a response tracking spreadsheet
80Tips for Using Different Media
81The News Release
- Although simple in structure and style, the news
release is a major vehicle for communicating with
the media - A better understanding of its purpose, design,
and uses, can improve the chances of getting
published - In order to get your message out, you will want
to contact the local media, but how?
82- Use the following guidelines
- Decide on the message - Why is it of interest to
the public - Select the media - The message and intended
audience determines the publication - Put it in writing - Prepare a properly written
release (See Content and Structure sections) - Mail to the right person
- Mail by the deadline
- Send a thank you note for any publicity the
agency receives
83Content of the Release
- Familiarize yourself with local publications.
What do they print and who is there audience? - Select information of interest to a large part of
the publications readership. Age, income,
geography, activities, etc. of the general public
are some characteristics to consider. - Remember the 5 Ws -- who, what, when, where,
why, and sometimes how. (see Structure) Be sure
they are all in the story.
84- Keep it brief Include the important information
nearest the beginning and use only details that
are absolutely necessary. - Write in a simple, factual style Avoid creative,
clever or overly wordy sentence structures. - Avoid opinions unless they are attributed to a
person mentioned in the article (i.e. The
effects would be devastating, according to Jane
Doe, Executive Director.) As the writer, do not
insert your own opinions. - Dont assume what a person would think or say
Contact them directly for an answer
85- Be accurate Make certain of all of your facts,
such as dates, times, locations, names or titles.
Be careful when you use figures or statistics. - Put a hook in your story This is what makes the
article of interest or newsworthy. Is this a new
program? Is it the first of its kind? How is it
unusual? Are you offering solutions to a problem
in the community?
86- Names The first time a name is mentioned use
their first and last name after that, refer to
them by their last name - Photographs help to provide more interest and
information to a story - Make sure the photos are clear and high in
resolution - Identify any people in them
- Do not send a photo you wish to have returned
87Structure of a News Release
- When its all said and done there are just two
simple rules for writing your own news stories - Rule 1 -- Keep sentences and paragraphs short
and clear - Rule 2 -- Place all of the facts at the
beginning of the story with quotes, expendable
details, and other information in the middle and
the end
88- The first rule speaks for itself - Ideally, news
story sentences should be 16-21 words long - Paragraphs rarely more than three sentences -
often one sentence constitutes an entire
paragraph - Make every word count - Choose action words that
convey a message, describe a situation, or carry
weight
89- The second rule, placing vital facts in the first
paragraph, is called the inverted pyramid
because news stories can be drawn to look like an
upside-down triangle - When writing a news release, start with a
headline and incorporate the two rules - Sample news releases can be found in the Guide
90When the Media Calls
- What happens when a reporter contacts us?
- May be calling in response to a news story from
the national media, seeking a local angle - Self-help agency may have been chosen as the
focus for a featured social issue - Wonderful opportunity for the agency
- Be an articulate agency spokesperson
- Requests from the media do not often allow much
time to prepare and interviews are usually short - Say it right the first time
91- Be a relaxed and effective representative
- Before an interview begins
- Know the identity and affiliation of the reporter
- Determine the reason for interview
- If you are not the right person to talk with,
refer the reporter to someone else - If you dont know how to answer a question, say
you dont know - Offer to get the information quickly and avoid
incorrect or rambling uncertainties
92- If possible, develop a list of key points you
wish to make during the interview - Too busy or need time to prepare? Find out the
publications deadline and arrange to call them
back - Refuse to answer certain questions when they
violate confidentiality rules, legal
restrictions, or agency policy - Explain your refusal clearly and politely
93During the Interview
- Work in a quotable quote
- Dont hide the truth or attempt to hide problems
- Present them as positively as possible
- Talk about what is being done to correct
shortcomings and stress the plans underway - Personalize your answers - Use anecdotes,
illustrations, and personal accounts - Avoid agency jargon
- Only state your agencys position, not yours
- Be sure what you say reflects official agency
policy or guidelines - Rephrase any negative or objectionable questions
- Always reply positively and use your own words
94On the Radio
- Radio, since it is a voice only, electronic
medium, has some special considerations - Your voice projects your entire image
- Your appearance is still important, your
confidence is increased when you look your best - Good posture aids your voice
- The microphone may intimidate you, but speak into
it as if you were talking with one person - Vocal problems like a hissing S or popping
Ps may be reduced by speaking slightly above
it or off to one side - Live call-in programs If invited to appear on
one, inform family, friends and co-workers so
they can phone in relevant questions
95The Television Appearance
- Your appearance is important
- Your attire helps project the image you want
- Avoid certain colors and color combinations that
may appear busy and distracting - Color opposites such as red/green, blue/orange,
or yellow/purple should be avoided
96- In the studio Speak conversationally
- In a guest editorial (where you appear alone to
present an opinion) speak directly to the camera - In a group appearance give your attention to the
host and other guests - Filming on location, requires a quiet room with
enough space for a camera crew as well as the
interviewer and yourself - Make sure to record the program for later
marketing
9710 Tips to Getting an Article Published
- Be proactive in submitting material for
publication - Assign someone to get your news
out! - Do your homework - Review the newspapers website
or other printed brochures - Many newspapers share information on how to get
published and whom to contact (Your ad
representative may know who) - Build a relationship with the appropriate contact
- Find out how the paper prefers to receive
material (i.e., fax or email, file formats for
photos) - Understand the non-traditional or niche
publications put out by the paper
98- Put contact information on press releases and
check spelling and accuracy - Remember to be timely - Find out how much notice
is needed - Persevere - If you dont get published the first
time, keep trying! - Consider using the Opinion Editorial forum to
convey news - Have a good idea and know why the paper should
cover it!
99Can Your Paper Help?
- In one local area, the newspaper holds two
meetings per year for nonprofits and community
organizations specifically to help train them on
how to get published in their paper - The attendees ask questions about the paper and
are introduced to appropriate reporters - Check with your local paper to see if they have a
similar program
100- Getting the word out is an important task that
needs our focus - It can be done with some dedication!
101Developing Marketing Materials
102Marketing Materials
- NCALL recommends having the following marketing
materials - A good quality brochure - briefly explaining both
the organization and the self-help program - A cheap flyer for mass distribution
- Mail it, hand it out, hang it up, leave it
wherever prospects congregate - A flyer, printed on one side of a letter-sized
sheet is among the least expensive, easiest to
produce, and hardest working marketing tools - Posters
- Can be similar to the flyers, but larger, on
heavier paper, maybe have a tear off phone number
- A few starter sample ads
103- All of these items should look professional and
carry the branding and message of your agency and
the self-help program - Most times this branding will consist of a
company logo, using certain fonts or colors and a
tag line
104Marketing Material Mechanics
- The graphic layout and design of the materials is
important. Several elements of good design - Contrast
- Adds visual interest to a page
- Helps create hierarchy of information so the
reader can scan the important points and
understand what the brochure is about - Use contrast in the typefaces, colors, spacing,
size of the elements, etc - Contrast is effective if it is strong
- Repetition
- Repeat various elements in the design to create a
unified look - Repeat use of colors, typefaces, spatial
arrangements, and bullets
105- Alignment
- Very important and the lack of it is consistently
a problem - Strong, sharp edges create a strong, sharp
impression - A combination of alignments (using centered,
flush left and flush right) can sometimes look
sloppy or weak - Proximity
- Grouping similar items close together is
especially important where you have a variety of
subtopics within one main topic (like in a
brochure) - How close and how far away items are from each
other communicates the relationships of the items - To create spatial arrangements effectively, you
must know how to use your software to create
space between the paragraphs
106Some Other Tips
- Use photographs to tell the story
- Use a delicate hand
- People new to design tend to make text and
graphics too big and/or too bold - Keep the layout simple
- Limit yourself to two fonts
- Use illustrations that build on the message
- Organize the page with boxes and borders
- Establish a center of attention
107- White space is your friend
- The message can get lost in clutter if it is too
busy - Stick with it
- If your story is clearly and effectively told,
dont change it for changes sake - To repeat viewers, your message becomes
increasingly familiar in their minds
108- NCALL would be happy to help!

promotional items.
