Tracking and Scoring Engagement for More Effective Development
The document discusses the importance of donor engagement and presents findings indicating that many donors contribute to multiple charities but often do not feel properly engaged, with a significant percentage willing to donate more if they felt better connected. Various strategies for improving engagement are explored, including data challenges and the effectiveness of different communication channels. The talk also emphasizes the necessity for modernizing CRM systems to better support engagement efforts within non-profit organizations.

Editor's Notes
- #24 I wanted to talk about a couple of other great examples of engagement measurements from our clients.First up Property Council. Their system automatically emails the appropriate membership manager if any new member has not had an engagement activity (typically coming to an event or buying a publication) within 2 months of joining. This just happens automatically because all of the data is in their iMIS system.Property Council have also put performance measurement and engagement measurement front and centre with all staff with their top 100 members dashboard. This used to be a private report sent to the management team each month as a manual report. Today it is a dashboard in IMIS with access available to all staff. Letting staff understand the spend and engagement of their top members helps every staff person do their job with regard to retention and acquisition of members.AZNCA – College of Anesthetists - have actually been doing engagement scoring for a couple of years. This past year they have expanded it by adding in lifestyle segments – like aspirant members, retiring members. They then correlate the lifestyle segment the member is in with their engagement scoring. They know already that young aspirant members are working on their computers/ipads late at night– so they started sending them emails late at night so the email would pop into their inbox while they were online. They saw an immediate bump in open and click rates.Lastly REINSW – Real Estate Institute – they developed a model of likelihood for a member to renew based on 2 keys activities – purchasing a product/publication and getting a phone call from the REINSW membership dept. So they actively check and manage for this engagement to ensure members have the best chance to renew.
