Fundraising is a two-way street. Marketing is a two-way street. Email is a two-way street. As a #nonprofit, you need to - provide value for your audience - inform them - educate them - encourage feedback and responses. When you don't do so, people get the feeling (rightfully so) that you don't care for them except when it comes to money. Then you'll treat them like cash cows which will not endear you to them. Wanna boost donor retention? Make people want to be connected to your organization. Provide them with content and activities that makes them want to stay engaged and helping your organization accomplish its mission.

Clever advertising? Or a missed opportunity? I’m no expert on advertising. I grabbed this packet of gum with the Canadian Blood Services logo from the “swag” table after donating. At first I thought, that’s a weird flex… but then I think I saw the intention: people offer gum to other people. It’s an opportunity to start a conversation. It might go something like this: “You donate blood? I’ve been considering it, but …. (Fill in any number of the thoughts I used to have about it before I finally took the plunge) “ The point is to open the conversation. It may lead to a new donor. I think a packet of gum is a great way to do it! What do you think? ps. Canadian blood services need more donors over the holidays than other times in the year. Please consider donating if you can. #canadianbloodservices #canadianblooddonors #itsinyoutogive #advertising #promotionalmaterials

The first step of creating your myCharity account: donate to what you want. We've had a lot of requests to support our overhead, so we've given our donors the ability to seperately support our overhead or cover their payment processing. We still uphold our transparency promise that 100% of donations to your causes will go to the field. However, you can just opt-in to make a separate donation to our overhead. If you donate to our overhead, we'll offer you the same reporting and tracking as we do in the field - you'll see the marketing campaigns you supported, the salary you helped pay for, and so on.

Would you spend $1 on dirty water? UNICEF installed vending machines in the streets of New York City offering dirty water. Why? To shock people into donating to combat the global water crisis and to raise awareness. Did it work? Over 7,500 people participated and donated by paying at least $1 to dispense the water. Genius marketing. Props to the UNICEF team and McCann for their innovative work on this campaign. 🔔 Follow Brendan Cox for more marketing content. 🔄 Share this post to spread the word with your network! #advertising #marketing #nyc #marketingtips
