July AL!VE Academy:   Simple Market Research Methods for Recruitment and Communications Strategy - presented by David Horwitz, CVA

July 25 at 2 PM Eastern for 90 minutes

In today's dynamic and competitive media landscape, effective research-based recruitment and communications strategies are essential for success in volunteer engagement. To create strategies that truly resonate with your target volunteers and potential partners, it is crucial to base your decisions on up-to-date data and insights. The good news: market research can be as easy as scrolling through social media—that is, if you know how to collect and analyze what you read.

This session, "Simple Market Research Methods for Recruitment and Communications Strategy," is designed to equip volunteer managers, partnership coordinators, and communication specialists with the fundamental marketing research tools required to craft effective communications.
