12. WOW! THAT WAS A LOT; LET’S REVIEW
Retention: Under Official Review
• Participant types provided clearer
picture of retention
- Team leader, team member and individuals
• Revenue did not go down as much as
the participants
- We’re not bring back as many people,
but the participants we are bring back
are more successful
• Multi-year participants are more successful
than new participants
• While multi-year participants are more successful they
have challenges maintaining their high fundraising level

13. HYPOTHESIS: PREDICTING THE OUTCOME
HYPOTHESIS:
To solve year over year retention
focus on team leaders.

18. IMPROVE TEAM LEADER RETENTION
• It starts with year round
communication
- Just because the event is over doesn’t
mean you stop communicating
• Make it personal – combinations of
online and offline engagement
• Ask team leaders to be on your
event committee
• Involve team leaders in mission
activities
- Send them information on educational
& program activities
• Your entire relationship doesn’t
have to be about fundraising

31. ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR
EXPERIMENT?
• Segments are awesome because it
provides more details on participant
online activity
• Identify people who doing something
and helping them do it better
- Move 1-4 fundraisers to
Superstar status 5+ online gifts
• Create communications plans based
on activity
- Follow up with people who
are taking action, but not
raising money
- Send people friendly reminders
31
Identify P2P
fundraisers who are
doing something and
help them do it better.
#BBInteractive
32. ANALYSIS: WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM OUR
EXPERIMENT?
• Push participants to take actions –
remind them of their options
- Tell them why! We’re not asking to
raise money – we’re telling them why
they want to raise money
- Change the message from raise $100
– to… do this!
- Focus on the WHY; then participants
how to do something
• Give them permission to do extra
things… they need someone to push
them to follow up
32
Give P2P fundraisers
permission or a
reminder to do more
online activities

34. PURPOSE: STATING THE PROBLEM
HYPOTHESIS:
Asking participants questions
can provide insights to help
get started

35. RESEARCH & EXPERIMENT
What did Big Brothers Big Sisters do?
• To learn more about donors and participants, we
worked with 9 agencies on a survey.
• In May, we went out a survey to over 6,000 donors,
participants, and team captains and got just over
1,000 responses.
What was Big Brothers Big Sisters looking for?
• How or if any did our Bowl for Kids Sake redesign
affect our participants?
• Why are you participating?
• How are you participating?
• Did you know how Big Brothers Big Sisters is
making a difference?
- This was important to help us improve our
communication strategy.

47. WOW! THAT’S A LOT OF DATA… WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO?
Clearly, our participants are multi-channel
• Give them a variety of opportunities to get the word out:
- E-mail
- Social
- Letters
-Phone calls
- Texts
It’s even clearer, they do this because they want to, not
because someone makes them
• Reframe how we ask them
- Tone down the “Send e-mail, send e-mails, send e-mails”
- Replace with, “Want to raise as much awareness as possible?
- Repeat their words back to them, “It was easy” “It was simple” “My
co-workers loved the video I made”.
47
48. HOW CAN I BE A SCIENTIST?
Look for themes in your research
• Seeing a similar result in multiple places helps you identify problem
areas and outliers
Re-examine your ideas & test our theories
• Data can point out your blind spots
Be a good scientist: Test your hypothesis
• What do you want to change?
• How are you going to change it?
• How will you know if it changes?
48
49. HOW CAN I BE AN ARTIST?
Be creative
• Don’t be afraid to go outside the lines. The great ones do!
Take a calculated risk
• Don’t let data (or the lack thereof) keep you from being bold!
Put your mission front and center
• Often the science reminds us that our messages
aren’t being heard.
• Invest time and energy discerning which messages are
most powerful for each of your audiences.
