- Email nurturing is the
- you have your website, blog, social media presence – where everyone is interacting with your organization. The majority of nonprofit websites are transactional. They are the destination for making a donation, registering for an event, or signing up to volunteer. They are useful for those that have already made the decision to support your organization. But what about those that just want to learn or do research? You website has to be both a destination for transactions AND INFORMATION.75% of your traffic is from individuals who are just looking to learn. They are not ready to make a commitment just yet. And it should be your organization’s goal to convert as much of that traffic as you can into prospective supporters so you can nurture them with information to turn them into engaged constituents.
- Now the 75% of visitors that we are talking about are who you want to provide information to, to be able to turn them into one of these 3 main personas (or groups of individuals that will support your organization)Personas are similar to demographics, but they incorporate real life behavior into a profile of your target audience. Its really effective if you name your personas and have your entire organization refer to “Fundraiser Fred” by his given name. Personas allow you to provide the right informaton to the right people because you know their wants and needs and what they are looking for in relation to your organization. We have a great persona template for nonprofits that we can send in the follow up email that you can use to plug in your information.
- Its good to keep in mind that these groups may overlap And you may have other groups like major donors, corporate sponsors or even members.
- But for today’s presentation, we are going to be speaking about these three personas.
- So your website and your email nurturing are your tools to connect with each and all of these personas and turn them into engaged constituents. You can also use email nurturing to convert between personas. Depending on your organization, you may be converting various personas in different orders. It really depends on the goals your organization has for engaging individuals .
- To nuture these individuals, whether they are new visitors or existing donors, fundraisers or volunteers, you want to use educational content about your organization, your mission, pass achieves etc and CONTEXT so that you are sending the right messaging to the right people at the right time. Email blasts are not personal, they are almost never contextual and they are not effective when you are dealing with multiple personas.
- So whether your series of emails is just 3…
- Or 5
- Or really intricate and involved multiple email series….
- You want to make sure all your emails are always educational and contextual.If you remember these two things when creating your emails, your nurturing campaigns will be successful.
- #2 – the cost of acquiring new donors, fundraisers and registrants is very high. But ignoring 50% of the individuals who are not ready to donate or fundraise on their first engagement with your organization is a lose to your mission. Nurturing those individuals with just a few contextual emails will drastically reduce the cost of acquisition and improve your ROI of your fundraising and marketing#3 – sharing your achievements, stories, future goals builds relationship with you audience and will instill trust that the individual knows enough about your organization to support it. Not providing everyone this information is hurting your over mission and should be a priority for your marketing and fundraising initiatives#4 – It keeps your organization in the forefront of those interacting with your organization – even its once a month – and it also helps with retention of those individuals that are already committed. Providing a steady flow of information and updates to those that support your mission will help keep them engaged for much longer.
- The principal concept of the giving cycle is sending the educational and contextual content we’ve spoken about at the right time. We use this analogy often, but you wouldn't’t ask someone to marry you on the first date – so why would you ask someone to donate on their first interaction with your organization?Understanding the giving cycle, or the steps your prospective supporters take when moving from a visitors to a donor to an advocate and what information would be most useful at each step, is important when developing the content you are going to be sending in your email nurturing campaigns I’m going to walk through two examples – first – an individual who has just subscribed to your email newsletter.
- So this subscriber is in the awareness stage in the giving cycle. They are looking for information about your organization, the mission, why you are raising money and who or what are you impacting. They want to see previous achievements, and social proof that your organization is trustworthy.Your email nuturing campaign needs to move them through the cycle to the evaluation stage….
- And then to the support stage….
- The end goal of this workflow is to convert this subscriber into either a fundraiser, donor, or event registrant – depending on the information your provide. So your email nurturing campaign can be either one series over a long period of time or three shorter series in short periods of time, focusing on each stage of the giving cycle. This example is going to be of the longer version.Speak to the emails types…
- my second example is of someone that is already in the support stage – but you are looking to nurture them into a fundraiser for the event
- This goes back to what we talked about in the beginning about nurturing individuals between personas to make them more engaged individuals

- #2 – any combination of these – donor/fundraiser fundraiser/registrant#3 – what unsubscribe rates mean – you are getting more engaged individuals, or have an old list – its not a bad thing if people are unsubscribing, it just means you are getting the people who are un interested off your lists and reaching only those that truly want your information. It will actually help your open to click rates to have only those most engaged - quality vs. quantity
