A joint presentation with Holly Wagg from Good Works and Nicola Leckie from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at NTEN, Washington, DC, March 2014. No matter the size of your fundraising shop (small, medium, or large), email levels the playing field. Email is a single touch point in your online program, and we're going to focus on what has worked (and failed to work) to build your new supporter pipeline and boost the conversion rate for each and every fundraising email you send. This is an interactive dialogue kicking off with two case studies of email programs in action from The UN Refugee Agency Canada and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. What participants will learn: 1) How to use inbound marketing strategies such as organic search and google grant traffic to build your list (we increased our file by 56%). 2) How to grow an integrated email program with the goal of making it the biggest slice of your direct response pie (email revenue has increased by 50% in 2014
