Core lessons from the data
• UK Donors of all ages give in multiple ways
• Gen X and Gen Y are becoming important
• Different groups have different communication
preferences
• All donors enjoy being communicated with in
different ways
• Donors learn about your organisation in a variety
of ways; both traditional media and new forms of
media are very important channels
Today being an integrated fundraiser in the
UK means…
• Offering a variety of ways to give – to all ages
• Ensuring various communications are consistent
with one another
• Giving opportunities for engagement that are not
financial
• Personalising the giving experience as much as
possible
What does integration mean?
Attribution can be a problem…

Editor's Notes

  • #9 To be donor cenric – you have to understand who your donors are, how they come to you and how the want to interact with you

  • #26 The recipients were sent to an epetition directed at key Parliamentarians who were on the Committee that reviewed the bill.Note some important aspects to the petition:#1 phone number – we asked. Does this suppress signatures? That’s a debate. We make it a non-mandatory field – and find that about 30% fill it out anyway. It’s worth it#2 counter - why? “social proof”. participants see that 1000s are doing this#3 comments – these are streamed – they build momentum and act as examples – they give participants the confidence to write their own words#4 subscribe – this builds a list for e-cultivation – you can’t use your big list all the time – this filters out the best activists for higher touch cultivation#5 more info – a minor link so as not to distract, but important for legitimacy to show the depth of research/legitimacy of actionother – use of photo, clear action statement, target is obvious, message is clear, opportunity to add personal comments, required fields clearly indicated, link to more comments to increase comfort level of participants3 weeks later, on November 1st, there were 2792 signatureshttp://www.amnesty.ca/urgentappeal/2009/CorpAcct/
