A strategy can be very simple, and on the most basic level this simply means presenting a single clear, concise and compelling message to your stakeholders about what you <em>do<\/em> (programs\/ services) and who you <em>are <\/em>(mission\/ vision). Your communication strategy should manifest itself in your grant proposals, brochures, case statements, email communication and most importantly &#8212; your website.<\/p>\n<p>Today, a company&#8217;s website is its business card. You must expect that anyone who is interested in vetting you or your work will start by navigating to your site. If you submit a grant proposal for &#8220;X,&#8221; and the funder goes to your website and all it talks about is &#8220;Y,&#8221; this will raise questions which will probably undermine your chances of winning that grant. Why? Your mission should not change whimsically &#8212; everything that you do, and therefore everything you write about, should be linkable back to your mission. Your website does not need to be, and should not be, a manifesto. Visitors to your site want a synopsis of what your organization is all about; don&#8217;t overwhelm. Keep it simple, aesthetic, organized, intuitive and informative.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron has helped many clients with their communication strategies and development of strategic communication materials. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/aaronrome.com\/index.php\/contact-aaron\/\">Contact Aaron <\/a><\/span>today and see if he can help you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aaronrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Xinconscreenshot-1-1024x570.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1596\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aaronrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BTIPro-screenshot-1-1024x585.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1589\"\/><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aaronrome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ACCM-screenshot.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1675\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every organization, whether a for-profit business or a non-pofit community-based group, should have a communication strategy.
