Women’s Housing Coalition

After several years successfully working with Women’s Housing Coalition on their communications and graphic design needs, they asked Redstart Creative to help craft a social media presence. We happily accepted the challenge.

CHALLENGE

  1. WHC needed a way to stand out in a crowded landscape of non-profit organizations vying for donor dollars and support.
  2. WHC wanted to build stronger relationships with their audience – a way to share up-to-date stories about the residents and specific needs. Social media is the perfect medium to create this dialogue
  3. WHC sought additional opportunities to develop their brand identity. A social media presence humanizes the organization in a way that a brochure cannot.

PROCESS

  1. We identified the categories of content we would share on WHC’s social media channels:
    1. stories of the women and children impacted by homelessness in Baltimore,
    2. actionable, timely requests of the volunteer and donor base,
    3. awareness posts about the effect homelessness has on a family, and
    4. behind- the-scenes looks of the people who work at WHC.
  2. We recommended the following social media channels based on WHC’s target audience: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the WHC blog.
  3. We also recommended establishing a monthly e-newsletter to connect with their audience.

Since taking over their social media management, Redstart Creative has helped Women’s Housing Coalition expand their reach and develop a more engaged audience. Since October 2016, our efforts have yielded these results:

Facebook

These new and improved channels are allowing WHC to create a supportive network both online and in person with their staff, residents and volunteers.
