Measures of Success

Click through rate (CTR) is not the best indicator of campaign success.

Return on ad spend (ROAS) is the metric that can be used among all online channels.

Retargeting & Brand Awareness“Though search and other forms of retargeting are often

used to nudge consumers further down the purchase funnel, the study found a good portion of brands and agencies also use it for more brand-based objectives, such as increasing brand awareness and stealing market share from competitors.”

Loyalty Insights…as an option• Tippers - New donors to you and most frequently single-gift donors to other

organizations in your sector and the Coop overall. • Constant Low Dollar - Low dollar donors to you and in the Coop.• Not That Into You - Highly philanthropic donors to the Coop who have given only a

few gifts to you over many years. These are VIP donors to others, but not yet to you.

• New and Noteworthy - are newish donors to you who are highly philanthropic in the Coop and give a higher than average gift size. These names have high LDV potential.

• Truly Connected To You - Give to very few Coop organizations and give on average twice as many gifts to you. These people are both planned gift and major gift prospects

THE FUTURE IS NOW

More personas• Truly Connected To You - Give to very few Coop organizations and give on average

twice as• many gifts to you. The gift size they give you is LARGER than the gifts to others.

These people are both planned gift and major gift prospects .• Habitually Generous - Highly philanthropic to you and in the Coop but no noticeable

preference• for you compared to other organizations. They are prolific givers to you and others.

As such,• most of these donors are the LEAST likely to upgrade; they help everyone and don’t

play favorites.• Best of the Best - Highly philanthropic to you and in the Coop but give you twice as

much money annually as they give to other organizations.

Let’s look at an example…. L.W. Robbins tested this tool to consider a Reduced Contact Strategy

For the “Tippers” and “Not That Into You” groups, LW Robbins tested a reduced contact strategy that decreases the number of annual appeals from 13 to 6.

If the loyalty model is validated, these donors will be less likely to give again and our resources from a standard 13-appeal schedule would be better spent elsewhere.

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Reduced contact strategy

Planned giving prospects: Truly Connected

LW Robbins selected “Truly Connected” donors who did NOT meet the planned giving select criteria (criteria is combination of age, giving, loyalty, affinity).

Sent a direct mail bequest lead generation package.

• Response rate was nearly 3x the overall campaign.

Let’s explode another myth – there’s no or a limited role for

social in integrated marketing….

Case study with Small Act and CARE

Introduction – SmallAct is D.C. based firm deeply rooted in social media analysis and social crm.

They and CARE engaged in a study of to understand the value of social media as an engagement channel for CAREʼs donors.

•To determine if social media and social media data (SocialData) could help “non-social”parts of the organization (such as activism, direct mail, events, development) execute their campaigns/efforts more efficiently and effectively.

And here’s what they learned

• All giving mediums are influenced by social.• Constituents who just have a LinkedIn profiles give more,

even more than if they have a Twitter handle or a Facebook account

• Social people take more action; in fact up to 400% more likely to take an action than a non-social person!

• There is a bit of an inverse relationship between activists and donors in social networks
