NonprofitPR.com Launches: New Website Offers Useful Promotion & Marketing Tips For Nonprofit Organizations

In conjunction with the first-ever Nonprofit Congress happening in Washington, D.C., OCt. 16 and 17, a new website (NonprofitPR.com) has been launched to help nonprofit organizations increase their capacity and reach their missions through marketing communications. NonprofitPR.com is provided by Shoestring Creative Group as a service to the nonprofit community.

(PRWEB) October 9, 2006 -- In conjunction with the first-ever Nonprofit Congress happening in Washington, D.C., Oct. 16 and 17, a new website has been launched to help nonprofit organizations increase their capacity and reach their missions through marketing communications.

NonprofitPR.com offers communications "ideas, tips and inspiration nonprofits can actually use." Frustrated by the advice typically found online for nonprofit organizations and by the high cost of newsletters on the topic, Shoestring Creative Group founder Hannah Brazee Gregory decided a need existed for what she refers as "useful" PR tips for nonprofits.

"So many of the marketing and PR tips available to nonprofit organizations require a significant budget or large staff to actually put them into action," Gregory says. "I wanted to provide information online that offered quick, easy and no- or low-cost ways nonprofits could get their message out."

When asked why was providing her firm's expertise and tips for free, she responded, "If I was in PR and marketing for the money, I would not have founded Shoestring Creative Group. I would be working for a large corporation. But that is not what interests me."

NonprofitPR.com features quick tips, in-depth articles, helpful links, and "real" examples of nonprofit marketing and PR projects. The site also has a section that features events and learning opportunities. Tips and ideas will come from all sources, not just Shoestring Creative Group. A major focus of the site will be on "free" PR resources and trick for nonprofit organizations -- from Google Alerts (as a way to have a free clipping service) to links of sites that offer free updated media lists.

The new website is updated almost daily with new articles and readers can choose to receive the new tips via email. However, no registration is required to take advantage of what NonprofitPR.com has to offer. The site is intended as a free service to the nonprofit world.
