Grow Your Individual Donor Base Using Smart Communication
Donor-centered emails, direct mail appeals, event invitations, grant applications, newsletters (both digital and print), social media posts, annual reports, websites and giving pages yield much more than communication that doesn’t focus on the donor.
In this 3-hour workshop Tom Ahern will share the secrets behind highly successful fundraising communications, as researched on three continents.
- Learn the neuroscience behind donor-centricity, and why it increases giving so much.
- Learn that channels don't matter, and that digital and print work together or not at all.
- Learn how to write an effective offer, using the old-school, well-proven formula of moral challenge.
