Notas do Editor
- Asking a donor who gave £250 to give an extra £10 is insulting; the reverse would be worse Why not request donation amounts that are slightly larger than your donor's previous gift, or see if they'd be willing to set up a regular amount that's lower? Why not present a different extra message depending on when your donor's last gift was? Correlating the things your supporter has looked at on your website is also powerful. This tells you what they are interested in and thus helps you to understand how to talk to them.
- Relatively small segments, but results have borne out in other appeal emails that PETA have sent.
- Carry through personalisation if possible. No point personalising an email if the landing page then screams ‘I have no idea who you are!’ Both email and landing page should say ‘I know you.’ Mention the same story and appeal on the donation page; suggest what will happen as a thank you Prefill the donor's name and details in the form. This doubles conversion rates.
- A client without mobile optimised donation pages had 3% of total pages converted on a mobile device. When they added a mobile optimised page the donation page conversion increased to 4.6%.
- you could be losing up to 36% of potential donations by sending out emails that appear sub-standard on mobile devices or fail to work
- There’s so much more to say about email, including about the power of email triggers and sequences, storytelling and use of emotion. Email me to get a report and more tips if you haven’t already signed up.
