Creating value driven content consistently is the key to success.

Thank donors for your social media posts
Thanking your audience is one way to show your gratitude to your donors and to make them feel appreciated. Just publish a press release about your campaign to thank specific people, taking care to mention their names. Then share it on Facebook. By publicly thanking your donors, you will retain them and encourage other users to donate.
