Communications or Website Audit and Recommendations
If you want to optimize your communications, but don't know where to start, this is a great first step.
It's nearly impossible for the people inside your organization to evaluate the clarity and impact of your communications objectively. Is your registration or donation experience intuitive? Does your marketing include insider language and undefined acronyms that could alienate people unfamiliar with your organization? Do your email subject lines entice recipients to click? If I found your new business proposal on the street, would I understand how you help people?
Make sure you are putting your best foot forward when you receive observations and recommendations from a detail-oriented set of fresh eyes.

Website Copywriting Using the StoryBrand Technique
Your organization's website is its most important communication tool. As your only 24/7/365 salesperson, it needs to connect with potential customers online as effectively as you connect with them in person. Specifically, your site's homepage must acknowledge the problems your customers face, articulate the unique way your business solves them, and guide visitors to take the next step. Describing the products and services you provide without establishing a human connection just isn't enough to set your business apart from competitors. Fortunately, the StoryBrand framework provides an effective method for your organization to create homepage copy that connects with customers and inspires action.
