125: The People Behind the Products: When Marketing is Good and Increases Your Capacity with Aidan Augustin


Listen Later

Nonprofits have unique marketing requirements in comparison to other business entities. Unless they have programs that they specifically market for, their focus is primarily on generating awareness, engaging potential donors, and making a substantial impact on their target audience. To achieve this, nonprofits must understand their target audience's needs, wants, and preferences, and tailor their marketing efforts accordingly. 


In this episode, we talk with Aidan Augustin, a visionary leader, co-founder, and Chief Revenue Officer at Feathr, a marketing software company designed specifically for nonprofits. With a passion for helping organizations grow their online presence, Aidan has played a pivotal role in supporting over 1,200 organizations using Feathr's innovative tools. His expertise in website analytics, targeted digital advertising, email marketing, and automation have made Aidan a sought-after voice in the nonprofit sector. As a guest on today’s episode, Aidan shares his insights into leveraging data and technology for effective nonprofit marketing campaigns, bridging the gap between traditional marketing strategies and the unique needs of nonprofit organizations. In the digital age, simply showcasing the work that they do is not enough. 


So instead of viewing marketing as a necessary evil and doing the bare minimum, nonprofits should see it as a powerful tool to create positive change. By focusing on the potential impact on fundraising and mission achievement, Aidan encourages nonprofits to fully embrace marketing strategies and tactics designed specifically for their needs.


In this episode, you will be able to: 

1. Grasp how digital marketing plays a pivotal role in nonprofit fundraising and mission success. 

2. Understand the power of personalized marketing in nurturing potential donor-nonprofit relationships. 

3. Discover how to effectively combine one-to-one activities with digital marketing techniques. 

4. Delve into deepening donor connections through the use of one-to-many communication channels. 

5. Learn the importance of leveraging data and technology in crafting efficient nonprofit marketing campaigns.
