Situation Analysis
Client: Sisters Helping Sisters
Client’s Purpose: Enrich, Empower, Encourage.
8
RW&B Communications
Sisters Helping Sisters is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit program that supports
individuals, families and communities by abetting with their capability to overcome
challenges in life, maintain a level of quality in their lives and to benefit from
opportunities. Sisters Helping Sisters first starts with a group of around 40 African
American seniors (around 60 years old) who get together once every other Tuesday.
Each week they have someone come in and help them facilitate a topic of discussion
for them to talk about and learn new things. This program is there for these women
to help each other learn and have a support system and they may have lost over the
years. Volunteers are needed to help facilitate conversations with these women, and
help drive the women who are not physically able any more. At this point that is all
that we have been able to observe about the client so far without meeting more of its
members. They do this by supporting one another throughout times of trial, laughter
during the good times, and give each other the ability to change perspective when
needed, to build healthy long lasting friendships.
Sisters Helping Sisters was first formed by a group of women who desired to
get together to learn about topics that interested them including things such as
health and personal development. Along the way, the program developed further to
include more members who enjoyed similar interests and gaining an additional
reliable support system. Community involvement, pulling more members into the
group, and raising funds for additional activities are now some key initiatives Sisters
Helping Sisters hopes to reach in the near future.
9
RW&B Communications
Past communication practices have been through word of mouth and little to
no technology mediums. Their competition are groups like the Women’s Center at
the YMCA but they personally do not consider them competition because the need is
so great that the attitude is “the more the merrier.” The most urgent matter for
Sisters helping Sisters is diversifying their group and obtaining new facilitators.
Growing in size is not a tremendous concern because they can not grow beyond what
they can handle. Which is also one reason why competition is not a tremendous
threat. Our focus for our client is volunteers and participants.
There are many non-profit organizations that are similar to Sisters Helping
Sisters. Many organizations are about women helping other women. One of the main
industry trends that we found with many of these organizations is that they have a
foundation and are very active philanthropically. One organizations is called P.E.O
Sisterhood, a philanthropic organization where women celebrate womanhood. They
focus on things such as the advancement of women, education through grants,
scholarships, and loans. They also motivate women the achieve their goals and
aspirations. They have an excellent website where you can navigate and find out
more information. Their main focus on the website is the foundation where they give
out their scholarships
In addition to being there for one another these women also reach out to
others in the community. The WFMY News 2 station did a piece on these women in
their Local Heroes segment. These women are looked at as wonderful supporters in
each others lives and in the lives of other people in need. The women involved in
10
RW&B Communications
Sisters Helping Sisters will go out and visit elderly people who are in nursing homes
and they have made cards for them to enjoy. Just a little something for those people
to know that someone is thinking about them. Every June they also hold a big
fundraising event. So these women are not just sitting around chatting they are out
in the community actually getting things done.
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths: Very low cost budget – Sisters Helping Sisters only spends approximately
$2000 per year for all activities and bi-weekly meetings. Communal Organization – The group works with local organizations to save
money and to be facilitators for their meetings. Works with Journey Church and the library – Sisters Helping Sisters used
public facilities such as Journey Church and the library to hold their bi-weekly meetings.
Weaknesses – Has same facilitators – having Journey Church and the library as regular
facilitators is a strength but also a weakness. Sisters Helping Sisters would like to use different facilitators to hold meetings.
Lack of diversification – Sisters Helping Sisters needs to diversify their volunteers and participants.
Lack of donations – There is a need for donations as this limits the program.Opportunities –
Volunteer Opportunities – Volunteering in the community is a wonderful possibility, where they can benefit the community and themselves. Potential volunteering can include knitting hats for the homeless, going to animal shelters, or at Open Door Ministries, which is a Soup Kitchen.
Threats – YMCA, Women’s Resource Center Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro
o Both of these organizations are direct competition to Sisters Helping Sisters. However they are not a threat as the need in the community is so great and Sisters Helping Sisters cannot provide for everyone in need.
Churches and faith organizations – Church’s and faith organizations are indirect competition, as they do not solely provide support for senior women.
11
RW&B Communications
Key Issues and Implications:
Sisters Helping Sisters is a program of the non-profit organization that has a
lot of room to improve and make their organization better. First, they do not have
very good public awareness. Most of advertising is done by word of mouth. If there
were more awareness about this program many more women would possibly
consider joining. They also do not have very good communication and technology
mediums. They should consider to make a website and a possible way of
communicating through email or some sort of technology. These women do one big
fundraiser in June, but the should consider doing more fundraisers and getting
involved with the community. If they find ways to be more involved it will get their
name more frequently recognized, which is great strategy for increasing awareness.
Another issue is that they also do not have a lot of funding. They should consider
getting sponsors or donations form local businesses. For example, getting a local
doctor from Doctors Express on Eastchester to speak with them about healthy
dieting or simple exercises that they can do safely. Every week they have their
meetings at different places and possibly outside at a local park when it gets nicer
outside. It would bring out diverse situations and would create excitement for many
of the women. They should also consider being more diverse. Many of the women
are African American. Inviting different ethnic women would help bring people
together and they would be able to share different experiences.
Overall, Sisters Helping Sisters has room for a lot of improvement, but it can
be done with a great strategic communication plan. Providing more ways to improve
their organization will make them stronger and will help these women become
everything that they want to be.

Research Analysis
Research Question: The purpose of this research is to find which channels of
communication the direct competition; the YWCA Women’s Resource Center uses to
establish itself.
The YWCA Women’s Resource center is the direct competition for Sisters
Helping Sisters, here in High Point, North Carolina. The YWCA Women’s Resource
Center website is the top result on Google and Bing searches, when High Point or the
Triad region is searched along with. Their website is
www.ywcahp.com/ProgramWRC.htm, which is the link from the Google search. The
first thing on the web page is a printable brochure, which has all necessary
information for anyone interested in the Women’s Resource Center. Our campaign
will certainly utilize a printable brochure that will be added to the Sisters Helping
Sisters Guilford County Resource and Referral Center webpage. At the bottom of the
home page is a printable flyer that is highlighted in blue amongst black text. The
printable flyer is an easy way for people to print more information about the YWCA
Women’s Resource Center that can be used by anyone who wanted to take personal
initiative to share the organization. This is quite brilliant because they make it very
easy for anyone who is familiar or influenced with the organization who wants to
13
RW&B Communications
show the flyer to a friend or share with the general public. It’s also very easy for
someone to get the essence of the organization in a simple one-page flyer similar to
the brochure. This is another excellent exemplar, which our campaign strategy will
employ to advance Sisters Helping Sisters online presence to ease any interested
parties examination of the organization.
Surprisingly the link www.tgcrrc.org/sistershelpingsisters.html, which was
searched and obtained on Google, does not have a “contact us” section. As this
virtually being the only online presence Sisters Helping Sister has this has caused
some great concern. This was recognized when comparing the YWCA Women’s
Resource Centers webpage to Sister Helping Sisters. This certainly will be another
addition resulting from surveying the Women’s Resource Centers Website. As time
eventually passes, the senior women who join Sister Helping Sisters will be more
technologically adept or their children will use online resources to find programs for
their mothers, which is why it is imperative that Sisters Helping Sisters must
improve it’s online presence. The YWWCA Women’s Resource Center webpage has
given inordinate insight of how to improve the Sisters Helping Sisters online
presence.
Research Question : The purpose of this secondary research is to determine
what communication campaigns are successful in other similar programs or
organizations to Sisters Helping Sisters.
A piece of useful secondary research was conducted by looking at the types of
campaigns that similar programs use. Before looking at other practices it was
imperative that the program be successful and caters to a similar market and offers
an overall similarity to ensure the results could be successful for our campaign. The
Compass Center for Women and Families based out of Chapel Hill, NC is a nonprofit
organization that’s mission is “Compass Center for Women and Families, created
from the merger on July 1, 2012, of Family Violence Prevention Center of Orange
14
RW&B Communications
County (founded in 2000) and The Women’s Center (founded in 1979), helps
individuals and families prevent and end domestic violence and become self-
sufficient. We provide domestic violence crisis services, career and financial
education, assistance with legal resources, and adolescent empowerment programs”
(http://compassctr.org/about-cc/)
Through researching their programs and outreach/communication programs
we will be able to create unique and exciting donor and volunteer drives. One such
idea derived from this research was to reach out to local businesses on behalf of
Sister’s Helping Sisters in order to institute workplace-giving campaigns. These
campaigns would allow local companies to match donations offered by employees to
be used for transportation, hosting events and facilitators as well as any budget
items normally incurred by the program. As an incentive to the business, our team
would offer free exposure in the form of press releases documenting how much
money was raised, as well as the donations being tax exempt. These campaigns
would allow a centralized donor and volunteer system as opposed to our team
having to knock on every door in town looking for these assets. From an economic
standpoint this would save time and money for the client.
Another idea that came from this research is to set up accounts at donation
locations for used clothes and electronics. We would set up an account to be donated
to and the program would receive any proceeds. We would then draft press releases
notifying key publics of the creation of the donation sites as well as publicize the
information through the creation of other mediums such as a new website as well of
hard copy information such as pamphlets etc.
Research Question: The purpose of this research is to determine what
channels of communication are already in place with the target market of our final
campaign that would be suitable to reach our audience allowing for lower cost of
implementation.
15
RW&B Communications
The secondary research conducted in an effort to answer the above research
question returned results that largely focused on churches. The article by Lau,
McDaniel and Busenitz, Growth In Non-Profit Organizations: The Effects Of Leadership
And Marketing Communication in Churches. The authors propose that church growth
and related programs are primarily determined by two factors; the churches
marketing communication strategy and the strength of leadership. This is in turn
useful to our campaign because we now know that the strength of a church is
directly related to marketing communication, showing us that if we are able to
connect with successful congregations in the vicinity of Sisters Helping Sisters, we
are likely to gain good feedback. The channels that we know to be successful
demonstrated through the results of this research will allow us to have more solid
results.
Research Question: The purpose of this research is to show how low budget
nonprofit programs can still make a difference in the lives of participants and
community members, even without the endless amounts of money, resources and
high-level management.
When thought the participates of Sisters Helping Sisters only have a budget of
around $2,000 a year they make the money stretch far all year and will sometimes
not even use all of it. The women work hard to keep the inner workings within their
group strong by leaning on one another and by having facilitators come in to help
educate them.
Because these women have such a strong drive for learning and for helping
others in the community this article helps us to learn how to help them to do this in a
more efficient way. Most of the women who are involved in Sisters Helping Sisters
are retired or getting close to that time, so thinking about saving all the money that
you can is always important. In this article we can learn how to educate these
women on how they could be getting tax exceptions from all the fund raising that
16
RW&B Communications
they are doing through Sisters Helping Sisters. Plus if they keep doing more it is
going to be something that they could benefit from.
In this article it shows us that organizations that stand apart from everyone
else are the ones that are working with places such as: universities, hospitals,
cultural institutions, and churches. The great thing about Sisters Helping Sisters is
that they are already working with certain churches. They work with the particular
churches that each participant is a member of and they reach out to any church that
they feel could use their help. As a part of our campaign we were looking to get these
women involved with working with High Point University. This article would be able
to help us to show us how that would be able to be possible and how we would be
able to do those things in a better fashion. And as listed above we could learn about
being able to getting these women into helping out with other places. That would just
be even more recognition for their program.
Research Question: The purpose of this research is to see what ways Sisters
Helping Sister can improve its SEO compatibility and recognition through nonprofit
online search engines.
We found a non-profit database search called greatnonprofits.org.
Greatnonprofits.org is an excellent database website that allows users to search for
any non-profit organizations in specific areas by entering the city or the zip code. It
also allows users to write reviews and comments on how a specific program has
helped them and improved their lives. When searching this program on Google they
are at the top of the page. Using key words such as “non-profit women programs” or
“Great non-profits” will have this database show up at the top of the first page. I
searched for Sisters Helping Sisters in this database and it is not in the database. If
Sisters Helping Sisters could become apart of this database it would be great for
them. Not only would they be able to be searched, but also people would be able to
read reviews from women in the program and how Sisters Helping Sisters has
improved and empowered their lives. This would also help their search engine
17
RW&B Communications
optimization. Right now when you search “Sisters Helping Sisters” the program in
the Piedmont Triad area does not show up on the first page. It shows up on the
bottom of the second page and it is the link to the Guilford County Resource and
Referral Center website. We added a few more key words when searching in Google
such as “Sisters Helping Sisters High Point, NC” and “Sisters Helping Sisters Piedmont
Triad Area.” We found it interesting that Sisters Helping Sisters did not show up at all
on the first or second page at all.
There is an absence of this program overall in the media around the Piedmont
Triad area and on the Internet. Overall, by adding Sisters Helping Sisters to this non-
profit database website and other non-profit websites. It would help their overall
search engine optimization and would make it easier for people to find out about the
program.
Research Question: The purpose of this research is to examine a successful
method of incorporating Sisters Helping Sisters volunteers to better establish the
public relations campaign and further benefit the organization as a whole.
This article is an example of how the Public Affairs Department of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints implemented a valuable public relations
campaign to “increase positive worldwide public awareness of the church; the help
people better understand the church, its members, and beliefs; and to join with
others to build bridges of friendship and understanding” (Olsen 27). These goals are
extremely similar to the ones that Sisters Helping Sisters is seeking to accomplish.
Throughout the article, the steps taken toward these goals are elaborated and the
positive momentum seen from taking each step is reflected upon. The key strategies
seemed to be organizing the local network, training the volunteers, and preparing an
annual plan. Based on our campaign decision to center the focus of the campaign on
linking Sisters Helping Sisters with High Point University and getting Sisters Helping
Sisters members more involved with the events and activities that take place on
campus and are open to the public.
18
RW&B Communications
In terms of organizing a local network for Sisters Helping Sisters, High
Point University would be a tremendously helpful local resource where the
organization could take advantage of the series of campus events and activities. By
developing a connection between the organization and the university, there will be a
significant amount and range of enjoyable activities that could be added to the
Sisters Helping Sisters annual plan. They would be able to decide on which events
they’re most interested in attending as a group and from there we could set up a
university bus to pick the ladies up and transport them to and from the events. This
would require a handful of volunteers to assist in the organization of this process.
Based on the activities Sisters Helping Sisters members decide appeal to them most,
an annual plan could be scheduled marking the dates and times of each event of
choice. The combination of building stronger community association and
appropriately increasing the organization’s activity regimen will be the foundation of
a successful public relations campaign, as well as increase general awareness about
Sisters Helping Sisters and their mission.

Budget: While creating this campaign we kept in mind the fact that Sisters Helping
Sisters has a limited operating budget, thus we created a campaign that wouldn’t
require any additional monetary resources to complete the campaign. We contacted
and chose facilitators based on their willingness to help such a program with no
compensation. We also added outside activities to the calendar that would be free to
the program through donation of tickets and the like. Any “legwork” that is required
to carry out this campaign can easily be done in house by Janice Buxton or Pamela
Palmer. These activities consist of maintaining the Facebook page and distributing
press releases. The only work left to be done is putting these things into action, in
other words the research, compiling and creation has all been done by our team.to
various news media outlets which don’t require any money spent.

Monitoring Methods and Evaluations
Google Analytics – Google Alerts
- Use Google Analytics to track the reception of the press releases sent out by the program. In order to do this you can set up a “Google Alert” to notify you every time someone publishes something mentioning your program using key words such as “Sisters Helping Sisters”.
Hootsuite
Use Hootsuite in order to track social mentions of the organization. Do this by creating an account on www.hootsuite.com and load the program’s Facebook into the account. Search for your program using the search function at the top right hand side of the page. The more interaction (likes, shares, comments etc.) the page receives the more successful the page is doing. Strive to have at least 10 interactions a month and grow from there.
49
RW&B Communications
Excel Spreadsheets
Use an excel spreadsheet to compile a list of facilitators in order track how many you continue to sign up for future sessions. You can use this list to keep track of contact information as well. Include topics to be covered in this list as well. You can track the whole program from one list in order to reduce clutter and confusion.
50
RW&B Communications
Revisit the places where you have distributed brochures to see how many are left and ask employees at that location about the activity surrounding the brochures. When someone contacts the program you can also ask how he or she found out about you in order to gauge the level of success of individual referral approaches.
