When we think about the use of public relations to enhance our business or non-profit organization, we often think about it in terms of how it helps humans.
But, animals can also benefit from PR.
Public relations can be a cost-effective tool your organization uses to effectively raise awareness and tell the stories of the animals you are helping.
Telling the right story
Public relations is the art of telling a story in a way that captures the attention of your target audience.
And, the welfare of animals often contains a number of stories that are relatable to the public. Whether that story is about your organization or the animals themselves, it’s often a story people can make an emotional connection with.
According to lawyer and non-profit leader Kathleen Kelly Janus, two-thirds of American charities struggle to bring in $50,000 annually because they aren’t telling the right story – or any story.
Look around your organization. There are compelling stories there you can tell that will raise awareness and make your fundraising efforts more fruitful.
You just have to know how to craft these stories in the right way to build success.
Getting the right story out the right way
