Running a non-profit organization is filled with challenges, from securing financing to coordinating volunteers—not to mention marketing and promoting services and events. It can be tough to manage the needs of a growing organization with the needs of the people whom that organization aims to serve. Oftentimes, marketing is the last item on a very long to-do list. Yet non-profits like Dress for Success Tampa Bay have no shortage of events to market, and these events are critical to community engagement and awareness. For many years, Dress for Success Tampa Bay scrambled to keep up and do it all themselves.
