- Web where's the banana: Seth Godin's big red fez check out my sites: fundraisingcoach.com and marcpitman.com -- what's the banana? Mail Time honored Cop-out? Face-to-face is more effective... get the best copywriting, direct mail expertise Blue signature Courier New font out pulls SBS example stats and %--SEE MY JUNE BLOG POST vs. story of alumna/employee/mom Same author, which works better?

- Donate right up front, but playfully
- And the message keeps getting repeated

- How to raise less money: Don’t have a site (having a cluttered site is just as bad; so is having gmail as your “professional” email) Dissing your geek fans. There are a lot of us out there. Be familiar enough with the tools to be able to appear enthusiastic. And let us run with them.

- How to raise less money: 4. Graphic designers having final say (ALSPAY’s rich keywords embedded in a jpeg- NO SEO)
- Gorgeous page, but all these key word rich testimonials are worthless for search engines since they’re all embedded in an image.
- 5. Playing it safe. You’re going to mess up. It’s how you handle it.
- Red Cross “gettingslizzerd” email
- But Wendy Harman Knew it would happen at some point (all of us with more than one account have goofed) Knew to handle it with humor BEFORE the event so she was ready when it happened Turned out to be a big win for them. Reminded everyone that a huge multinational relief agency was made up of passionate, and sometimes error prone, individuals.
- No shortage of online tools, for nonprofits and businesses. Since tools come and go, let’s focus on strategy
- Twestival: Started in a pub Amanda Rose asking “what if we raised money for charity” Raised $550,000 this March! Over 400 cities on March 24 th . Total since 2009 – about $1.8 million TweetsGiving/EpicChange: Stacey Monk, uses Thanksgiving & Mothers Day Over $25,000 last week. Probably over $150,000 since 2009
- Great example of specific actions with deadlines and variety
- Skype calls with Stéphanie Montreuil (Ottawa), Chris Penberthy (Plymouth), and Kristoffer Solberg (Coppenhagen) for Twestival Local 2011
- Sample of a Twestival page showing ticket sales, donations, thermometer, twitter box. Sponsors are below.
- Great for marketing, fundraising, engagement: Keeps it human!
- Do these steps and your fundraising (or business sales) will not be as much noise…
- … as it will be money raising conversation
