Today’s Session
The era of Big Data… big isn’t always better
• Which are the most important metrics?
• What data can I make actionable?
• Who can help me impact my program
Panelists will give 3 distinct points of view and real
world examples leveraging multi-channel data
GOAL = Leave with better grasp of concepts and at
least 1 idea that can impact your organization
Agenda
• Integral - presentation and quick Q&A
• Analytical Ones – presentation and quick Q&A

• Advanced analytics and modeling
• Investment analysis and management
• Scenario planning and forecasting
“How should my organization
approach analytics?”
Create your priorities for testing
and analytics based on:
• Organizational objectives
• Areas of opportunity
• Budget
• Timeline
• Operational bandwidth
(Some organizations need assistance creating
objectives and determining priorities…and that’s okay,
too!)
Example 1:
Ask Optimization
Test: Ask Optimization
• Improve ask strings across all donor groups
• Improve reactivation rates of recently-lapsed, higher value donors
• Due to weaker retention metrics for $50+ donors, this group became our
first priority
Opportunity:
• Test names 15-36 months lapsed with HPC $50+
• Ask strings developed in the following order of priority (with a $15 floor
applied to each scenario):
• Use MRC where lower than HPC
• Lowest gift amount in the last 60 months
• 75% of donor’s HPC36
Methodology
Ask Test Results – 2 Month Test
RESULTS:
• Test treatment = Increase in responses (793 versus 674)
• Test treatment = No decline seen in number of $50+ donors
• Test treatment = Increase in responses at $25-$49 level
• Test treatment = 25% increase in subsequent giving driven by
the increased number of reactivated donors

Bottom Line(s)
Simple tests can
be very
productive
“Uncomplicated”
and “Analytics”
can peacefully
co-exist
Analytics can
benefit any
organization,
regardless of size
or maturity level
Example 2:
Planned Giving Model
Model: Planned Giving Donors
• Assist Planning Giving officers with identifying PG prospects for improved
targeting and productivity
Opportunity:
• Conducted exploratory analysis of interactions with PG touches/inquiries,
along with birth date and score providing by prior vendor, in order to
determine what variables will increase predictability
• Built predictive model that ranks donors by likelihood to give Planned Gift
• Validated model against hold-out group (group not used to build model)
Methodology
PG Model Test Results
RESULTS:
• The new model (blue) sees a lift in
response to PG interactions over the
prior ranking system (orange)
• Sees increased response over using
no ranking at all (grey)
DETAILS:
• 80% of the PG $ last year came from
the top 7% of the newly modeled
file
• Mailing just 30% of the eligible
universe will yield nearly all
available PG revenue, compared to
mailing 70% of the universe as done
in the past
• #winning
Prior
Method
Lift over Prior Vendor Ranking
Bottom Line(s)
Aligning
analytics with
size of
opportunity
paid off in
increased
productivity
Okay, fine…
some analyses
are complex
But still,
analytics can
benefit any
organization,
regardless of
size or maturity
level

Target Analytics 3 Big Ideas for Fundraising
Customer Lifecycle
Optimize Gift Amount
Combine insight around capacity, affinity,
and behavior to optimize gift amount &
increase donor lifetime value… you are
“under-asking” & your donors are
capable of giving more!
Drive Brand Awareness
Re-introduce your brand to create
awareness, favorability, and
consideration. Don’t give up on your
lapsed donors, they are giving elsewhere!
Drive Long Term Value
Focus on LTV, not response. Use loyalty
characteristics to determine where to
invest marketing dollars. Not all donors
are create equal, double down on high
LTV prospects!
TARGET ASK AMOUNT
EXPAND REVENUE BY ASSURING “OPTIMAL” GIFT
Target Analytics Target Gift Range
What is Target Gift Range?
Target Gift Range provides an optimal $ gift amount range for each of your constituents, enabling you to optimize your gift requests
How does Target Gift Range work?
Targeted gift range is modeled specific for your organization, based on a 360 degree view of a constituent’s philanthropic, behavioral, and financial profile

At a similar response rate, had the optimal gift
been given, Client X could have raised in

Wrap up
Key Ideas
• Use analytics to assure the optimal gift amount, increasing your revenue and donor long term
value
• Focus retention and cultivation efforts on donors with high LTV potential and strong loyalty
characteristics, ensuring marketing spend optimization.
• Focus on reactivating lapsed donors, reintroducing your brand to create favorability and
consideration – and leveraging analytics to target high value, actively philanthropic donors
Key Take Aways
• Organizational priorities drive data needs, not
the other way around
• Simple still works!
• Core Metrics like LTV, retention, high-value
gifts, etc. still rule
• Analysis/Modeling time and resources should
be proportional to the size of the opportunity
Continue the discussion!
• The vision of the IMAB is to
promote a discussion of
the various successes and
failures related to
integrated marketing:
understandings, trends,
benefits and adoptions of
integrated marketing
activities within the
nonprofit community.
