6. Tips You Can Use On Monday!
• Multichannel is Key: You will raise more money via multiple channels.
• Develop Campaign Calendar: Develop campaign asks and messaging
across different channels – Social Media, Direct Mail, Email, Texting, etc.
• Tailor Messaging To Each Channel: Adapt messaging according to tone
and length of each channel.
• Segment Your List. Identify your activists or donors by segmenting them
to personalize your campaign and make your ask more appropriate to their
interests and level of engagement.
• Conduct A/B Testing. Test different elements of your campaign – subject
lines in email, messages on social media, landing page donation forms,
graphics and photos, etc. For example, on Twitter, the Tweets that
generate the most RT’s use photos via Twitter’s native tool.
• Promote Your Campaign. Market the heck out of it across multiple
channels and communities that your target audiences are hanging out in.
Are they hanging out on Twitter? Facebook? Linkedin? Focus on a few. Not
every social network.
• Measure the Results: Bottom line - Did you achieve the change you were
seeking?
