If we’re going to talk about the next generation, we need to know what the prior generation was.
Back to the future reference to facilitate discussion on what everyone knows multichannel fundraising to be
How many people out there do these things?
Congratulations, that is all great stuff and a good start. It’s time to take things to the next level with integrated campaigns with unified goals
Emphasize that this is a true series – we look at the successes/failures of each individual component in order to inform future iterations of the series and to enhance performance of the efforts that come later, but the series is judged by the LTV of the “class” of people that move through it, not by the results of any single piece of the campaign. That’s the essence of the next generation.
The next several slides describe the baby steps we took that led us to the series we are now using. Describe the test we did to set up the results on the next slide. Also mention that we are testing petitions and surveys as data collection devices in the mail.
Results from making use of the data. No results more recent than Feb 2011 because the targeted messaging was crushing the control and now all of our messaging is targeted. Possibly insert information about LGB/Straight/No Response here if there is time.
17% response to TM when contacted 120 days or less from their first interaction. 13% for recruits with interaction dates farther in the past. TM campaign completed in December 2010. Try to get more recent results to substitute. Emphasize the importance of recency.
Describe the goals we set out to achieve when we decided to move to a more unified, organized approach with Jeff/M+R.
The plan we worked out with Jeff. May need to change the ask stuff for Direct Mail. Describe the “flow” of both asks and information from top to bottom so that at the end we have a very full data picture and a pile of money set to come our way in terms of LTV.
Connect this back to the information about sexual orientation before and describe some of the subtleties about why these audiences are different.
Once Lindsey distributes results, include them.
Once Lindsey distributes results, include them.
Emphasize that we built toward this ask, look at results in terms of who opened/clicked/did what we wanted in emails 1/2 vs those who did not (this data not yet available)
This data is not yet available
Mention that this is just one example, talk about on-the-fly management of the campaign using this data.
Point out that all the sustainers are on Credit Card. Average pledge is a little over $10/month. Nearly all of the donor sustainers came from the $1-$25 segments. Point out that we got to the NY Marriage people really late compared to the Pride people.
May have to cut this to accommodate extra time for the data discussion we are currently missing in the previous slides.
Highlight that this was a 4 part email series and social media still raised that much money: over $3,100 for the match and $5k for the membership drive.
Be sure to mention that we do not do direct fundraising via text but that’s still OK because it supports our fundraising efforts in this way.
JR: Ask audience what multichannel campaigns they are running / have run. What’s worked and what hasn’t
49-70 years of age appears to be sweet spot. Note: For all these slides on age and other attributes, actual response rates were higher as we were not able to match a chunk of the data.—So only look at these slides on a proportional basis. And *sample sizes were small*
Presence of charity history is the key in this case
