This page is dedicated to tools and resources that support the social marketing and strategic communication efforts of family-run organizations. To request social marketing technical assistance, contact Malisa Pearson at mpearson@fredla.org.
While social marketing is key to family-run organizations getting their messages out to families and stakeholders, few family-run organizations have the staff or resources to develop and implement a social marketing plan.
FREDLA is pleased to provide a series of easy-to-use resources to assist family-run organizations of all sizes to create social marketing plans. Resources were developed by two seasoned social marketing consultants, Erin Cech and Cameron Macdonald.
We urge you to enlist your staff and board and the families you serve to help with social marketing for your organization. Messages about the value of family-run organizations and the benefits of peer support services are too important to keep to ourselves.
Resources:
- 5 recorded webinars
- Tips and tricks to maximize your social media efforts
- Marketing tactics that require few or no funds
- Information to help you create a marketing and communications plan
- Strategies for generating the energy of community partners in your messaging efforts
These resources were prepared by FREDLA with funding from the National Technical Assistance Network for Children’s Behavioral Health under contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Contract #HHSS280201500007C.
