ABOUT ANALYTICS

 Using data to improve
  decision-making
 Don’t be afraid of your
  data!
    It won’t hurt you
    You won’t break
     anything
    Even small explorations
     can yield big insights
 You already own a powerful
  data analysis tool

THE PARETO PRINCIPLE

 In any fundraising initiative,
  the bulk of the dollars come
  from a subset of the donors
 Event fundraising is the
  same – not all the
  participants are equal from
  a fundraising perspective
 Our goals are two-fold:
    Identify and target those
     most likely to raise money
    Raise the overall level of
     fundraising activity for
     everyone

  and donors

    o Goals

 Board and staff involvement
 Be aware of average versus median!

THE WHAT AND WHY OF SEGMENTATION

 Segments are smaller groups of the larger
  whole

 Segments are necessary because not
  everyone is the same
    o Being everything to everyone makes you
      nothing to no one
    o Different messages resonate differently
      with different people
    o Different messages are more effective at
      different stages
 Segmentation involves looking at the overall
  population, breaking it into subgroups, and
  targeting them differently

 Just as not everyone in your geographic area
  participates in your event, not every
  participant in the event acts
  the same way

SOME BASIC SEGMENTS

 Zip code
 Relationship to cause
 Runner versus walker
 Amount raised
 Goal status
 Team status
 Email activity
