The document discusses strategies for implementing multichannel donor marketing at nonprofits. It outlines the opportunity for nonprofits to adopt multichannel approaches to reach younger donors across different channels like mail, email, social media, mobile, and television. It also presents a case study of Amnesty International's successful multichannel response to human rights crises in the Middle East. Key challenges discussed include integrating data and messaging across channels, determining which channels drive responses, and changing organizational structures to better support multichannel marketing.

22. Questions/Challenges Three categories of challenges: Tactical Data integration Organization Structure/Culture

23. Questions/Challenges: Tactical How to best tailor ask to appropriate channel? Play to each channel’s strengths in developing treatment strategy: Fundraising and social networks still evolving Focus instead on word-of-mouth Supporters derive intrinsic benefits from spreading the word about good causes to their networks for friends and family Mobile & urgent call-in actions

24. Questions/Challenges: Data Integration For multi-channel donors, how do we know which channel is driving response? If donors are not responding to a given channel, does that mean it’s “not working?” Some channels easier to monitor than others How do we optimize the performance of multi-channel efforts when the solicitation channel and transaction channel may be different?

25. Questions/Challenges: Structural/Cultural Institutionalizing multi-channel marketing: How do we take multi-channel outreach from pilot to program? How do we make cross-departmental coordination more efficient?
