Strategy + right tools = engagement awesomeness

What the heck are “ladders of engagement”?

Why, thanks for asking! In order for you to best engage with your targeted community, it’s important to know who they are, what they want, and which process works best to move them to super evangelists of your organization. Since this topic could easily take 2 hours to present, let’s cut to the chase.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind when making online ladders of engagement for your organization.

  1. Understand that each ladder represents a stepped process from moving an individual from a bystander to an evangelist.
  2. Create multiple ladders, one for each online persona (type of person viewing your online marketing) and the goal (volunteering, donating money, advocating, etc).
  3. Determine the best metrics for each ladder’s goals (for example, volunteering at least 5 hours per month, donating at least $100 per year, etc).
  4. Build a process to move folks from one step to another, tying one action to the next.
  5. Automate the stepping process.
  6. Make the next step someone should take abundantly clear.

Alright, that’s the super high-level overview. We could spend hours on this, but you get the gist. Plan, build, execute, dance. Dancing is critical.
