10. Keep On Movinâ, Donât Stop, No!
⢠Participants who make a donation are generally
moved in some way by your mission. Double
down on mission messaging with this segment.
⢠Using conditionals, make reference to their
donation and encourage next steps. Ex. âThank
you for making the first step toward fighting
animal cruelty Your fundraising will get us
closer to the finish line.â
⢠Personally reach out to learn about why they are walking. Thank them
for their donation and offer assistance in taking one additional simple
step (like updating their photo or downloading the mobile app).

start the day after the
event. They start the day
someone registers.

best in class:
⢠Customer service?
⢠Day of event

It Takes a Team: How Team Performance
Affects Your Bottom Line
Wednesday, July 8 | 2:00 p.m. ET
The Pareto Principle states that for many events, roughly
80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. As it
applies to peer-to-peer fundraising, we often observe that
20% of participants or teams account for 80% of the
revenue. So, what does this mean for your events?
This concept has become a favorite among peer-to-peer
fundraisers as it helps us prioritize our time and resources
around those who will have the biggest impact on the
bottom line. But, thereâs one problemâsometimes we donât
know which teams have the most potential for success. So,
weâre left making educated guesses.
This webinar will take you into The 2014 Blackbaud Peer-to-
Peer Fundraising Study to help you make those decisions.
Weâll cover the following:
⢠Team performance by event
⢠Team performance data to prioritize
⢠Team fundraising levels
⢠Participant roles such as team captain, team members,
and individuals
