Editor's Notes
- 24 Hour News Cycle: People want timely information. Much more interested in what’s happening right now and tomorrow than next day. If I’m only communicating once a quarter, how can I possibly compete for attention? Won’t even remember who you are.
- 100 Calorie Packs: Snack size culture. Take it on the run. Tomes go straight to the recycling bin or to read pile which is just as bad. Kidding yourself if you think people are reading your whole newsletter.
- Like a big cocktail party Mix and mingle. You get to know each other. (give equivalent of content and conversation) The idea is to be seen as a MEMBER of a COMMUNITY.
- You become friends. You want to be seen as a member of the community or the gang.
- What’s this mean? Grabby Greedy Grandstanding Me, me, me
- Person to person, not person to organization. We connect with causes because of the people who like behind them, even if we don’t know them personally.
- How do we get people to love us – and to friendraise and fundraise?
- The story isn’t about you. It’s about being helpful to your supporters, participants, etc.
- You’ll learn a great deal from the conversation in social media that you can use to inspire and inform you e-news and web content. For example, a conversation on Twitter can transform into a new update you send out via your e-newsletter. Blog comments can direct updates to other parts of your website.
- Qualities of a Good Thank You Note Timely Personalized to Donor How the gift will be used What to expect next – engagement Personalized by Sender
- You made my day. I have a great story to share with you. Look what you’ve made possible. I am so thankful for people like you. You’ve given hope to . . .
- 76% of donors say getting a thank you letter from someone who benefited from the charity’s work was very meaningful. (Burk)
