HAVE YOUR DONORS DISAPPEARED AND TAKEN THEIR CHECKBOOK WITH THEM? (Continued...)

Post #52

March 12, 2024



Today I’ll continue the list of marketing ideas that will help increase your income by 20%.

 

It’s important not to make the mistake of thinking these ideas are not important.  The additional 20% often means the difference between success or failure, especially for acquisition/prospect mail.

 

9.    I previously mentioned using front-end premiums.  Here are some examples of front-end premiums:

a.  Name and address labels

b.  A sheet of stamps/seals with attractive pictures, e.g. historical sights, birds, cats, dogs, flowers, etc.

c.  T-shirts (best as a front-end for Hi$ donors, otherwise as a back-end premium)

d.  Coffee mugs (best as a front-end for Hi$ donors, otherwise as a back-end premium)

e.   Posters

f.    Bookmarks

g.  Booklet (18-30 pages)

h.  Mini book (no more than about 75-80 pages)

i.    Paperback book

 

10.  Exchange your donor names and addresses with another conservative organization’s donor list.  This will give you access to high-level donors, and you will save the cost of renting the names.

 

11.  Comingle (for cheaper postage).  Sometimes saving 3-4 cents per letter.

 

12.  Red tag for nonprofit postage (for political mailers).  This often gives you much faster delivery.

 

13.  Membership card with a calendar printed on the backside.

 

14.  A stand-alone pocket-sized calendar.

 

15.  A full-size calendar (mail around August) with a request for donations.  Weeks later send another letter reminding them of the calendar they received, and if they haven’t sent a contribution, please do so.

 

16.  Before or after a letter is mailed, send an email asking them to be on the lookout for your letter that looks like X and is discussing subject Y.

 

17.  Before or after a letter is mailed, call those with phone numbers with a pre-recorded phone message (30-40 seconds) asking them to be on the lookout for your letter that looks like X and is discussing subject Y.

 

18.  Add teaser copy to the carrier envelope.

 

19.  Add teaser copy to the return envelope.
