Universities and nonprofits share two major challenges: recruiting students or supporters and raising funds to fuel their mission. Falling short in either goal can significantly affect the quality and effectiveness of their programs by tightening already limited budgets.
So how do nonprofits choose the most cost-effective strategies in an ever-changing media landscape? One goal of our ebook, “Content Marketing Best Practices: Higher Education and Nonprofits,” is to show you how content marketing can elevate awareness, increase recruitment and bolster fundraising efforts.
Not only is content marketing more cost-effective than traditional marketing, but it also works better. If you’re still not sure it’s the right answer for your institution, please consider this statistic:
