Where to find advocacy groups in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Advocacy Groups

Advocacy Groups want to mobilize support for their cause. However, they can't get it because they struggle to effectively engage their supporters.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. Activize.

Activize - Advocacy Engagement Platform : Activize is a comprehensive platform that helps advocacy groups better engage their supporters through interactive campaigns, personalized content, and real-time analytics. Of course it is much better than the stuff from EngageNow, or Advocacy360!

How to find Advocacy Groups

You can get insights about the pain points of advocacy groups if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where advocacy groups hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of advocacy groups, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Activize - Advocacy Engagement Platform.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
