I. Executive Summary: The Strategic Pivot

This month, we made the strategic decision to reduce our social media output temporarily. This was a necessary step to refocus our staff’s efforts on resetting our crucial administrative groundwork, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of our core mission: helping those who come to us for support. While we paused some outward-facing activities, our year-to-date (YTD) social performance remains a testament to the massive public awareness and engagement we have already built, which is a vital foundation for our long-term growth.

II. Year-to-Date Social Media Performance Overview

Our digital presence has generated tremendous reach and engagement across our platforms. Cumulatively, our content has achieved over 3.5 million Views and reached more than 2.7 million unique people (Reach) this year. The audience is highly engaged, driving a total of over 167,000 Content Interactions (Likes, Shares, and Comments). Most importantly for our mission, these efforts resulted in nearly 20,000 Link Clicks, representing the number of times people took a direct action to visit our website for resources, donations, or sign-ups.

Our strongest platform remains Facebook. The Facebook Personal Page is our engine for raw awareness, large-scale views, and Action Activities, driving the majority of our 167,515 content interactions. The Facebook Organization Page is our dedicated lever for Link Clicks, converting its audience to direct traffic to our website.

3. The Beauty of Broken Worship

IV. Performance on Secondary Platforms (Raw Organic Data)

These metrics represent purely organic, un-promoted data and serve as a baseline for measuring our inherent appeal on platforms beyond our primary focus.

• X Organization Page: Despite registering 0 Views (a platform metric often related to video auto-play), the X page achieved 90,988 in Reach and drove 1,362 Link Clicks. This is a highly efficient conversion rate for raw data, suggesting that the audience on X who sees our content is highly likely to click the link and take action.

• Pinterest Organization Page: This platform delivered 34,018 Views and 28,515 in Reach, alongside 1,085 Interactions. Pinterest is excellent for brand discovery and image-based content, and these numbers show a healthy, organic presence that introduces our mission to a new audience demographic.

• Instagram Organization Page: With 871 Views and 830 reach, our Instagram presence is currently the smallest, but it has generated 271 Interactions and 41 Link Clicks. These lower numbers reflect a platform that requires significant investment in specialized content (Reels, Stories) to achieve the scale of our Facebook presence.

V. The Critical Role of Digital Outreach

Social media is not just a marketing channel; it is a crucial operational asset that provides a cost-effective way to generate mass awareness and engagement. The ultimate purpose of this presence is to drive traffic to our website. A Like or a Share is valuable, but a Link Click is a direct conversion opportunity—it moves an individual from passive support to actively seeking help, volunteering, or making a donation.

To maximize this value, we use the Facebook Pixel for our advertising efforts. The Pixel is a piece of code placed on our website that tracks user activity after they click one of our ads. It has two powerful functions: First, it helps optimize our ad spend by teaching Facebook’s algorithm who is most likely to complete a desired action (like a donation) and then targeting our ads toward those similar users. Second, it enables retargeting, allowing us to show a highly relevant follow-up ad to individuals who visited a specific page on our website but did not take action. This ensures our limited budget is spent efficiently on the most receptive audience.

VI. Analyzing Our Performance: Pros and Cons

The strength of our digital outreach lies in the exceptional scale and engagement we’ve achieved on Facebook. Our strategy utilizes two key levers: the Facebook Personal Page is our engine for raw awareness, large-scale views, and Action Activities, driving the majority of our 167,515 content interactions. The Facebook Organization Page, however, is our dedicated lever for Link Clicks, converting its audience to direct traffic to our website.

Our statistics highlight challenges and opportunities. The high volume of "Vanity Metrics" (e.g., Views and Likes) from the Personal Page is excellent for morale and platform algorithms. Still, the board's focus should remain on converting that massive audience from the Personal Page into the tangible, high-value Link Clicks seen on the Organization Page. The raw data from X, despite its small size, shows its audience is highly motivated to click, validating it as a high-potential future channel. We must also ensure these nearly 20,000 Link Clicks translate into meaningful outcomes (donations, sign-ups).

By resetting our internal administration this month, we are laying the necessary groundwork to better measure and translate that significant digital interest into tangible impact. We anticipate resuming our growth strategy next month, equipped with a more efficient foundation to serve better the people our high-performing social media presence has brought to our digital doorstep.
