“Many organizations don’t know where to start and feel overwhelmed by the many social networks out there,” said Erin Moloney, President of SMCSTL and Director of Digital and Social Media Marketing at St. Louis-based technology consulting firm, Perficient, Inc. “We see a lot of compelling things being done by community organizations using social media. We wanted to bring those people together to tell their stories and offer tips and guidance to St. Louis non-profit marketers and leaders.”

At the half-day conference, local leaders will present their experiences and discuss how non-profit organizations can most effectively harness the power of social media in their marketing efforts.

Why #STL Non-Profits Can't Ignore #SocialMedia [INFOGRAPHIC]- #STLSocialGood

In Saint Louis, we have a lot of fantastic community organizations raising money, donations and asking for volunteer time to keep their doors open for their customers. Social media has proven to be a strong opportunity to drive results for these organizations. 

I have put together this infographic outlining some of my favorite statistics around social media in the non-profit industry. 

Meanwhile, if you work for a local non-profit or know someone who does, I hope you will consider inviting them to our February 6th half-day summit on the topic!
