We all know our marketing efforts are an important part of a healthy planned giving program. Just like a good exercise regimen, a good marketing plan takes into consideration where you are and is built to grow with you over time. Are you a beginner just starting out? Are you training to reach the next level? Nicole will coach you through how to start a new marketing program as well as when to make modifications and push yourself as your program strengthens.
