Social Media Push — Almost to $50,000!

How to Post # on Social Media for Snap! Raise

Here's exactly what to do — takes 10 minutes:
    1    Film a short face-to-camera video with your student (30–60 seconds) — school colors, uniform, or instrument in hand really helps it stand out — or use the reel created by band leadership, found below.
    2    Turn on captions. This makes a big difference in how many people actually watch and engage.
    3    Have your student say something like this (proven script — this is what took one of our families from $50 to $1,400 raised):

"Hi everyone, it's [Student Name]! I want to say a huge thank-you to everyone who's already donated to marching band — you're the best. We're so close to our goal, and there's still time to donate just $10 to help us get there. We're fully parent- and student-funded, so every $10 really counts. My link is in my bio / in the notes below!"
    

4    Add a text stamp on the video that says: "There is still time to donate $10 to the marching band."
    

5    Post it:
    ◦    Facebook: add your student's Snap! Raise link in the notes
    ◦    Instagram: add the link in your bio, and also post to your Story with the link sticker
    

6    Reply "Thank you!" to every comment right away. Once people see you thanking others publicly, it encourages more people to give — and often to give more.
    

7    Tag anyone who's already donated in the post or comments — people love being thanked publicly, and it keeps the momentum going.

Asking for just $10 works better than a bigger number — most people don't want to donate $25, but they also don't want to look cheap giving $10 unless you tell them that's what you're asking for. Let's use these last few days to get as many $10s rolling in as we can!
