How To Customize Your Donor Communications, Make Them Stampworthy, And Raise More Money (without Losing Your Mind, Losing Your Cool, or Losing Control)
It remains a fact that direct mail is the #1 way to communicate with donors - so you better make it stampworthy. They've already ripped your envelope open and have given you the opportunity to wow them with a message that is attractive to them! Now's your BIG chance, don't blow it. #NoPressure
So, what can you do in your Stampworthy Letter than will take donors from that Attraction stage to the Action stage?
Join Dawn Brown, President & CEO of the Community Foundation of Grant County, Indiana, as she shares when the marriage of a logical left-brain method was merged with some creative right-brain moxie, their donations doubled in the first year. Since then, she's streamlined the system and tracked remarkable increases in donors and donations each year since the Small Nonprofit Stewardship Blueprint was born. She's taught this strategy hundreds of times throughout the years and would love to teach you, too. Let her use her years of experience to help you further your community foundation's mission by engaging the right donors with the perfect message at the right time.
