3. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Reporting video updates perform consistently
» Update video was well received by supporters
» We received one e-mail
» Zero negative comments e-mailed or on social about 137 delay.
» The e-mail performed well (normally)
» Open rate of ~43% (fundraisers) and ~38% (donors).
» Click-through-rate was higher — ~17% (fundraisers) and ~9% (donors).
» Update video continues to be played and shared over time
» The proportion of views (non-unique) on Vimeo to audience size hovers around 12-15% (for special
updates for Rwanda and Cambodia).
!
» Further questions — Does the video truly mitigate any supporter dissatisfaction? Does the video
need to come from a cw staff member (Steve Chee)? How is the video format received for other
updates such as a midterm (Update2)?
