PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM

PROBLEM:
Year over year retention
is low

RESEARCH: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT RETENTION?

Notes: Revenue
didn’t go down as
much as the people.
The people we’re
bring back are more
successful

WOW! THAT WAS A LOT; LET’S REVIEW
Retention: Under Official Review
• Participant types provided clearer
picture of retention
- Team leader, team member and individuals

• Revenue did not go down as much as
the participants
- We’re not bring back as many people,
but the participants we are bring back
are more successful
• Multi-year participants are more successful
than new participants
• While multi-year participants are more successful they
have challenges maintaining their high fundraising level

12
HYPOTHESIS: PREDICTING THE OUTCOME

HYPOTHESIS:
To solve year over year retention
focus on team leaders.

Fundraising; Cultivating P2P
Participants

17
IMPROVE TEAM LEADER RETENTION
• It starts with year round
communication
- Just because the event is over doesn’t
mean you stop communicating

• Make it personal – combinations of
online and offline engagement
• Ask team leaders to be on your
event committee
• Involve team leaders in mission
activities
- Send them information on educational
& program activities

• Your entire relationship doesn’t
have to be about fundraising

ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR
EXPERIMENT?
• Segments are awesome because it
provides more details on participant
online activity
• Identify people who doing something
and helping them do it better
- Move 1-4 fundraisers to
Superstar status 5+ online gifts
• Create communications plans based
on activity
- Follow up with people who
are taking action, but not
raising money
- Send people friendly reminders

31

Identify P2P
fundraisers who are
doing something and
help them do it better.
#BBInteractive
ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR
EXPERIMENT?
• Push participants to take actions –
remind them of their options
- Tell them why! We’re not asking to
raise money – we’re telling them why
they want to raise money
- Change the message from raise $100
– to… do this!
- Focus on the WHY; then participants
how to do something
• Give them permission to do extra
things… they need someone to push
them to follow up

32

Give P2P fundraisers
permission or a
reminder to do more
online activities

PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM

PROBLEM:
Where do I start?

PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM

HYPOTHESIS:
Asking participants questions
can provide insights to help
get started

34
RESEARCH & EXPERIMENT
What did Big Brothers Big Sisters do?
• To learn more about donors and participants, we
worked with 9 agencies on a survey.
• In May, we went out a survey to over 6,000 donors,
participants, and team captains and got just over
1,000 responses.
What was Big Brothers Big Sisters looking for?
• How or if any did our Bowl for Kids Sake redesign
affect our participants?
• Why are you participating?
• How are you participating?
• Did you know how Big Brothers Big Sisters is
making a difference?
- This was important to help us improve our
communication strategy.

WOW! THAT’S A LOT OF DATA… WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO?
Clearly, our participants are multi-channel
• Give them a variety of opportunities to get the word out:
- E-mail
- Social
- Letters
-Phone calls
- Texts

It’s even clearer, they do this because they want to, not
because someone makes them
• Reframe how we ask them
- Tone down the “Send e-mail, send e-mails, send e-mails”
- Replace with, “Want to raise as much awareness as possible?
- Repeat their words back to them, “It was easy” “It was simple” “My
co-workers loved the video I made”.

47
HOW CAN I BE A SCIENTIST?
Look for themes in your research
• Seeing a similar result in multiple places helps you identify problem
areas and outliers

Re-examine your ideas & test our theories
• Data can point out your blind spots

Be a good scientist: Test your hypothesis
• What do you want to change?
• How are you going to change it?
• How will you know if it changes?

48
HOW CAN I BE AN ARTIST?
Be creative
• Don’t be afraid to go outside the lines. The great ones do!

Take a calculated risk
• Don’t let data (or the lack thereof) keep you from being bold!

Put your mission front and center
• Often the science reminds us that our messages
aren’t being heard.
• Invest time and energy discerning which messages are
most powerful for each of your audiences.

  • 11. RESEARCH: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT RETENTION? Revenue per Participant Notes: multi-year more successful. How are we communicating to past participants? Gifts per Participant 11
  • 12. WOW! THAT WAS A LOT; LET’S REVIEW Retention: Under Official Review • Participant types provided clearer picture of retention - Team leader, team member and individuals • Revenue did not go down as much as the participants - We’re not bring back as many people, but the participants we are bring back are more successful • Multi-year participants are more successful than new participants • While multi-year participants are more successful they have challenges maintaining their high fundraising level 12
  • 13. HYPOTHESIS: PREDICTING THE OUTCOME HYPOTHESIS: To solve year over year retention focus on team leaders. 13
  • 14. If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will” Mother Teresa #BBInteractive 14

  • 18. IMPROVE TEAM LEADER RETENTION • It starts with year round communication - Just because the event is over doesn’t mean you stop communicating • Make it personal – combinations of online and offline engagement • Ask team leaders to be on your event committee • Involve team leaders in mission activities - Send them information on educational & program activities • Your entire relationship doesn’t have to be about fundraising 18

  • 31. ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIMENT? • Segments are awesome because it provides more details on participant online activity • Identify people who doing something and helping them do it better - Move 1-4 fundraisers to Superstar status 5+ online gifts • Create communications plans based on activity - Follow up with people who are taking action, but not raising money - Send people friendly reminders 31 Identify P2P fundraisers who are doing something and help them do it better. #BBInteractive
  • 32. ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIMENT? • Push participants to take actions – remind them of their options - Tell them why! We’re not asking to raise money – we’re telling them why they want to raise money - Change the message from raise $100 – to… do this! - Focus on the WHY; then participants how to do something • Give them permission to do extra things… they need someone to push them to follow up 32 Give P2P fundraisers permission or a reminder to do more online activities #BBInteractive
  • 33. PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM PROBLEM: Where do I start? 33
  • 34. PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM HYPOTHESIS: Asking participants questions can provide insights to help get started 34
  • 35. RESEARCH & EXPERIMENT What did Big Brothers Big Sisters do? • To learn more about donors and participants, we worked with 9 agencies on a survey. • In May, we went out a survey to over 6,000 donors, participants, and team captains and got just over 1,000 responses.

  • 47. WOW! THAT’S A LOT OF DATA… WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? Clearly, our participants are multi-channel • Give them a variety of opportunities to get the word out: - E-mail - Social - Letters -Phone calls - Texts It’s even clearer, they do this because they want to, not because someone makes them • Reframe how we ask them - Tone down the “Send e-mail, send e-mails, send e-mails” - Replace with, “Want to raise as much awareness as possible? - Repeat their words back to them, “It was easy” “It was simple” “My co-workers loved the video I made”. 47
  • 48. HOW CAN I BE A SCIENTIST? Look for themes in your research • Seeing a similar result in multiple places helps you identify problem areas and outliers Re-examine your ideas & test our theories • Data can point out your blind spots Be a good scientist: Test your hypothesis • What do you want to change? • How are you going to change it? • How will you know if it changes? 48
  • 49. HOW CAN I BE AN ARTIST? Be creative • Don’t be afraid to go outside the lines. The great ones do! Take a calculated risk • Don’t let data (or the lack thereof) keep you from being bold! Put your mission front and center • Often the science reminds us that our messages aren’t being heard. • Invest time and energy discerning which messages are most powerful for each of your audiences. 49
