Are you providing your event participants multichannel tools? Is social avail on your event landing page, participant center, thank you for donation page, autoresponders, etc? Are your high-traffic areas of engagement mobile friendly? What are you doing offline to complement all your online efforts?Its not about making the donation form easy and intuitive, but are you making it easy for the donor to donate to a participant via all giving paths?
There are a multitude of ways to launch a DIY fundraising program...you will hear some examples today, but do your research and look at the various examples that is out there. You may start of launching an All Inclusive DIY program…and then evolve your DIY that accounts for more event segmentation.Run that data for your events and prioritize your efforts around messaging where you are seeing the greatest ROI. To prevent info overload…you may consider messaging to your NEW participants with updating their personal pages while RETURNING participants sending out more emails…and to both audiences, make sure they have made a self donation.
Part of becoming a TeamRaiser Jedi is taking advantage of the enhancements and upgrades that come with each Luminate release cycle. You all may have attended a great session about product enhancements at the last BBCon, and I wanted to catch you up on what’s new since then and how you can start using them today.These common threads among all these new features I’m going to discuss tie back to some of the themes that Deepa covered for us earlier in the session. Meaning, incorporating some of the key findings around things like returning participant best practices as well as continually striving to improve the experience for day-to-day event administrators. This comes in the form of additional options and greater ease-of-use for event managers as well as reporting and database updates to get greater insight from your data.
A key part of a successful event is providing timely and relevant messaging and functionality to your participants. And nowadays that means supporting engagement regardless of the device they may be using. In the 2 most recent releases, Blackbaud has continued its initiative of using responsive design for the standard platform templates. Meaning, out-of-the-box the same content you produce on your TeamRaiser pages, a consistent look will gracefully scale from a phone to a tablet to a desktop. The development process for this started with things like registration and donation forms, but have now been extended throughout all of the standard TeamRaiser pages…
…as seen here.Find example of older style to contrast with responsive
The Return of the Participant.One of the things we know for sure is that returning participants bring more value to the organization than first-timers. So with that in mind we want to really streamline the process of participating again. To that end, the login step (with either their username and password, or optionally their social networking credentials) can now be placed at the first step of the registration flow instead of the 3rd. This is presented as an additional configuration under Event Options.
Likewise, it’s now easy to add a Bring Back Team prompt to the flow as well, to streamline the process of reorganizing your team for this year
Another product development initiative has been towards empowering participants. So we’ve added additional self-service options from within the participant center. A participant can change or update their team membership in a straightforward way on their own, without needing to call into an office for an administrator to make the change.
And that’s a perfect segue to using the Force as an administrator. A successful event has two sets of stakeholders: of course the participants themselves but also the folks in charge of administration. These ARE the features that you’re looking for…to make your job easier as an event manager. How many of you all are on the business/operations side of Peer to Peer events? How many are hands-on-keyboard administrators? How many are both?
If you’ve worked with Blueprinting long enough you’ll realize that in theory it’s fantastic, but there are some ways that it could be improved. There are a couple of types of configurations that are difficult or impossible to adjust after creating your blueprint parent and child events. You can now scratch adding registration questions off that list. (I was expecting more applause but that’s ok)
Another cool new concept is extending Sponsorship logos to be embeddable, and having them rotate and click through to sponsor web pages. There is an easy interface to configure them…to insert them…and to work with them on any of your event pages(insert screenshot from text box instead of admin-side flow)
You can now use a gift upload file process to change the Payment Status of gifts recorded in multiple donor profiles from Unconfirmed to Confirmed when the payments have been received instead of manually performing the process in each individual profile or creating new duplicate gift entries.
Likewise, you can now update participant profiles with new values for question responses asked on the registration pages of a TeamRaiser event using an upload file. The value in the upload file will replace the existing value in the profileor fill in the field if it is blank. If the response column is left blank in the upload file but a value exists in the profile,The profile value will be replaced with the blank.
Similarly bulk operation was added for confirming company gifts
On a site configured for Multiple Locale Support that has several locales available, you can enable the Single Locale advanced event option to avoid displaying blank TeamRaiser event pages to your participants on pages without localized content. The page content will display in the default site locale. A new filter is available while constructing a Coaching Email in Coaching Email Express in the Audience filters area to target the audience of the email towards a specific locale.Add some info about description and benefits of multi-locale
To help facilitate communication between your event administrators about teams participating in a TeamRaiser event, you can enter notes about the team on their Team record for other event administrators to read. A note icon displays next to a team that has notes recorded in the list of teams. The notes about a team can also be printed.
An event manager group is automatically created for each TeamRaiser event and event managers are automatically added to this group when they are created. If an event manager is removed from the system, their membership in the group is also removed. And something that will greatly assistsuperadmins - Event managers can now update constituent information manually or through uploads from their Event Management.
Donation Source Codes tell us that 21.5% of online gifts come to us through Facebook. We also use FB to recruit lapsed walkers, serving ads to those who have not participated in 2+ years. We also recruit new walkers using different FB algorithms. Over 8% of online registrations come through FB. The vast majority comes from our alz.org site, direct search, and email.
Returning walkers raise about $100 more than new walkers.Team Captains who fundraise raise 3x as much as other fundraisers.
Mobile and tablet traffic continues to grow – we were at 20% last year, now we’re at 30% and continuing to grow. Responsive design is a huge focus for us right now. We are also making our entire alz.org site responsive, and recently convened a cross-functional “mobile committee” to discuss upcoming mobile opportunities. Apps – we use Boundless Fundraising for mobile for Walk, and used an app called RaiseMore for our day-of-event experience for The Longest Day (since people aren’t at their desk during the event). We’re continuing to investigate new mobile opportunities for 2014 and beyond. Mobile2012 - 16%2013 - 22%Aug-Sep - 25%Tablet2012 - 6%2013 - 8%Aug-Sept - 9%
