How to find the middle-ground between brand and conversion ads. Today we're diving into the Middle of Funnel concept (MoFu) where we bridge the gap between alerting your prospects to your brand to signing up and playing your lottery. The first point of interest is demonstrating the lottery's role in supporting your cause and the impact it has. Think, if your lottery stopped today what would it mean for the people who you help? Next, create a win-win image in your prospect's mind where they know that it benefits not just the charity but the people who invest in your lottery too. To see some examples of MoFu ads we have delivered for our clients please reach out to us at hello@leadsnavigator.co.uk #digitalmarketing #lotteryadvertising #lotteryfundraising #marketingstrategy

It’s almost game time. After a year of planning, it’s no easy task to organize a charity #pickleball tournament. Having it as a second year and a second iteration, there has been an explosion of both indoor commercial venues and tournaments. This true in #Chicagoland, #Naperville and #DuPage county. I’ve learned a lot, I’ll definitely share those key learnings in another post. Like a solo entrepreneur, be ready to be and do: 1) Ideate tournament format 2) Financially analyze major costs vs revenue, what’s the economically viable price price point of the commodity am selling, with a charitable contribution 3) Market market market! How do I make my event viral? 4) Corporate sponsorship solicitations. This is the part I most hate. How do I influence others to see my generosity vision? Short of panhandling in the middle of a street intersection, how do I influence others to sponsor my event, while providing ad opportunities? 5) Engage and solicit volunteers to help with scoring and run the tournament 6) More importantly, communicate with the main 501.c3 beneficiary what I’m trying to achieve. I know tomorrow’s charity pickleball tournament and resulting monies raised is a drop in the bucket, in relation to the $1.17M needed to complete the Interim Housing Center kitchen project in Downers Grove, DuPage Pads. I can rest easy that we’ve done something good and be part of the #homelessness solution.

Lastly, make donating easy.Have clear donation instructions.Send a #thankyou note where possible accompanied by a report of the project outcomes.

365 Fundraising Truisms #19 Specific requests to prospective donors more often produce positive outcomes. These specific requests help create a vision in the mind of a prospective donor and help define the specific solution you propose to meet. Often the word “specific” is interpreted to mean a specific dollar amount. This can be true, but it can also be “specific” in terms of funding a well-defined opportunity, initiative, or item. Either way, prospective donors are often highly motivated by the specificity of a request. Visit www.5toolfundraiser.com #fundraising #fundraiser #nonprofit #nonprofits
