Give me your top five

My last post was on top five nonprofit website sins for a reason! This week, I’m hosting the nonproft consultants’ carnival, and the theme is your top five… anything. Top five marketing tips, top five previously untold secrets, whatever. I like lists! So send me your posts and I’ll feature them in a week right here at the blog. Deadline is Friday at midnight. In the spirit of Jeff Brooks, and my general mood at this time of year, I will give special treatment to posts that contain one of the following words: “bikini,” “martini” or “Fellini.” If you score a blogging hat trick, then I’ll worship your wordsmithing skills for life.

Top Five .. Anything For the NonProfit Consultant's Carnival

With a dirty martini in hand and wearing your hot polka dot bikini TiVo Fellini's La Dolca and head over to Getting To The Point where Katya Andresen, is hosting this week's Nonprofit Consultant's Carnival.* The theme is Your Top Five .. Anything. What does a dirty martini, a hot polka dot bikini and a Fellini film have in common? At first glance not much but each in its own time and place was considered edgy and even innovative. And Katya is giving special treatment to posts that…

My Top Five Flickr Photos tagged with Fellini, Bikini, or Martini

Katya is hosting a blog carnival called the Top Five -- She says we get extra credit if worked in the words Fellini, Martini, or Bikini. So, I decided to select the top five flickr photos tagged with those words.

Top 5 Things to Repeat to Your CEO/ED to make marketing and branding matter:

1. Without more marketing, how will our donors/members/clients learn about our mission and take action?

2. Our brand is more than a logo or “look.” It’s everything about us, from the way our staff dress (no bikinis, shorts or flip-flops) to the way we answer our phones, serve our stakeholders and use our key messages consistently.

3. Marketing is the key to our success.

4. Marketing is not communications. Communications is a tactic of the overarching marketing strategy. We need a marketing plan.

5. I deserve a raise so I can wind down each day after work with a Cosmo martini!

(Sorry, no Fellini here.)

My Top Five Success Building Tips

1. Just do it. Don’t sit around ‘talking’ about it for ten years. Get up out of your chair and do it.

2. Don’t waste time whining about things you have no control of: weather, traffic, your best friend’s choice of men...whatever! Spend time on things that matter.

3. Dont’ give to get. Give to GIVE. The more you give - time, money, effort, understanding - the more LIFE gives back. Don’t go into a giving mode with the idea of getting back. Just give freely.

4. Call your Mother once a week. If your mother isn’t around, call your father or your sister or… someone who functions in that role. Stay connected to family.

5. Give whatever endeavor you’ve chosen to pursue 200%. 100% won’t do it. If you can’t give 200%… don’t do it.

Hi; I posted on my blog about why I am doing what I do, directing a non-profit community-based watershed team in Vermont. Thanks for inspiring me to think about and write a Top 5!
