 # mBlog: Year-End Wrap-Up!

After recovering from food, friends and family this past Thanksgiving weekend, many folks are looking forward to December’s holidays. At mGive, we are too. Integrating mobile in your year-end communication strategy is key. 

 

Just don’t fall victim to the following mobile campaign faux-pas:

- Utilizing paper forms and not mobile polling to poll employees about year-end activities or to nominate a colleague who deserves special recognition.
- Forgetting to leverage mGive’s “Gift of Gab” where you can thank your supporters via SMS for their time, energy and loyalty during 2011. (Note: the Gift of Gab consists of 50,000 free outbound messages between December 1-31st 2011\*)
- Mis-scheduling your donation reminder to supporters for January 31st and not for December 31st, the last day of the 2011 tax year.
- Missing the opportunity to test your mobile knowledge with December 14th’s webinar, “[How to be an effective mobile communicator](https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/987817137).”
- Forgetting to contact your Account Manager at <CS@mGive.com> for more creative ways to integrate mobile into your 2012 communications strategy.
