According to the Pew Research Center, 70% of all Facebook users report using their account daily. Seniors on social media are your primary gift planning prospects. You may find many of your supports are eager to engage with you through social media!

Social media posts with eye-catching images that link to your gift planning website create a visual connection with supporters and promote engagement. Posting an offer such as a free estate planning guide generates significant responses. Be sure the responder is required to complete their full name and email address for donor lead generation.
