83. What I want you to do in 2 groups
•Identify “moments that matter” for your youth donor persona
•Review impact (fundraising) -GREEN
•Outline Needs e.g. attitude/emotional improvement – LARGE YELLOW
•Roles and Process (people and things interacting on this moment) -PINK
•New experience, improvement outlined –SMALL YELLOW
85. Lifecycle Marketing
You recognize that people go through stages as they interact with your organization, and that each stage requires different marketing actions.
S2li4d eJu 8ly5 2014
86. Content Creation
You create targeted content that answers your donor's basic questions and needs, and you share that content far and wide.
S2li4d eJu 8ly6 2014
87. Personalization & Context
As you learn more about your donors over time, you can better personalize your messages to their specific needs.
S2li4d eJu 8ly7 2014
88. Multi-Channel Presence
Inbound marketing is multi-channel by nature because it approaches people where they are, in the channel where they want to interact with you.

Your CRM & analytics tools all work together like a well-oiled machine, allowing you to focus on deploying the right content in the right place at the right time.
S2li4d eJu 9ly0 2014
91. Data & Systems Matter
•CRM Solution is Must.
•Data Integration is Must.
•Marketing Automation Capability is a Must.
S2li4d eJu 9ly1 2014
92. Objectives:
•Define a clear strategyfor increasing the flow of donor information and support within the charity, with clear measures for success
•Build deeper relationships with donors and become more empathetic to donors
•Create opportunities for donor movement, increasing cross-selling opportunities, through strategic cross-team communication
•Maximize long term valuefrom donors
S2li4d eJu 9ly2 2014
93. Step 1: Analyze & Identify
a.Start with your database
b.Look at your analytics
c.Solicit feedback through surveys
d.Build profiles / personas
S2li4d eJu 9ly3 2014
97. A Good Supporter Survey Should:
Collect demographic information
Collect information on giving potential and interests
Collect information on first interest and interaction with your charity
Find legacy bequests
Collect information on communication preferences
Integrate back into your CRM for future marketing opportunities & segmentation
Help you build profiles / personas
S2li4d eJu 9ly7 2014
98. Online Sample
•Sent to 57,400 donors
•3 key segments:
•Monthly, Active & Lapsed
•5,530 responses (response rate of 11%)
•Raised $7,574
•Reactivated 30 donors
•Found 85 expectances and 292 legacy leads

99. And the mail will pay for itself…
S2li4d eJu 9ly9 2014
100. Build Profiles / Personas
Buyer personas are fictional, generalized representations of your ideal donors. They help you understand your donors (and prospective donors) better, and make it easier for you to tailor content to the specific needs, behaviors, and concerns of different groups.
S2li4d eJu 1ly0 02014
103. Team Facilitation
•Good to have outside party / consultant facilitate
•Invite anyone who ‘touches’ the donor –events, service, direct marketing, donor services, advocacy
•Set-up your journey mapping canvas…

140. #1. Make it easy!
•You have to ask for gifts (to your most-engaged segments)
•Give a reason for people to give monthly
•Include option to give monthly (and onetime) on the same donation form
•Offer as many payment options as possible: credit/debit card, bank transfer,
•Offer easy access for donor issues/care
141. Make it easy: Appeal strategy and email design

143. Make it easy: Stewardship
•Any time there’s a victory or happy news, thank your donors
•Make it all about YOU! (the donor)
•Tailor your message to the campaign they are giving to as much as possible

•In 2013, 11%of HSI’s total donations came from action alert widgets – 22% of which were new monthly donors! (without asking!)
•In 2014 Q1, an average of 23%of new monthly donors came from action alert donation widgets
158. THE CHALLENGE
Amnesty is a well-known and highly respected brand
However:
•We struggle with explaining a complex mandate to the general public, and sometimes even to our own members.
•Surveys indicate that Amnesty is associated with the generation of 1968.
•In a time where e-mail and mobile communications have replaced letterwriting, traditional activities no longer mobilise people as effectively as before.
•It is difficult to achieve real growth with existing product (membership).
•High entry barrier: Do I have to write letters? Human Rights skills?
•Participation in politics (in the traditional sense) is decreasing…
In this perspective it was important for us to create a product/concept that lowers the entry barrier and appeals to a wider and younger audience.

173. Step One for Youth Fundraising
•make sure you’ve got the right young staff, in the right positions, with the right authority
174. First Step
•PMHF chose a young,internal event staff person to be trained, and transition, to more integrated, mobile friendly, social friendly, e-philanthropy responsibilities
•one of the biggest barriers is determining not just who does what but who pays for what… this person helps facilitate shared budgeting; responsibilities and goal setting in an integrated program
•A commitment to longer return on investment with young donors
175. Not just the right person in the right position, but create a culture to support youth focused e-philanthropy
•the CEO and even more impotant, the CFO, champions youth initiatives
•Failures
•Long term investment
176. Second Step
•with limited time and budget, prioritize
the different youth focused initiatives
177.
178.
179. Third Step
•make sure that the youth experience speaks to what we began with… Now, Can I, For Me, Simply…
•And fits the characteristics we have listed
•And leverages a thoughtful youth journey
