Our donation approach:
Apple guidelines:
We have the apple guidelines preventing us from introducing an in-app shop with items purchased by donations
Donation button:
Optional feature (not required)
Take the users outside the application and on to a donation website specifically for this purpose
Subpage on the main campaign website
Developed by the internal CR DASP-team
Potential problem:
Losing potential donations by the long and slow process of typing in payment information
Dedicated donors:
Only the most interested/dedicated users
Only those willing to go through the long process will be using the feature
Other options: That each have their own pros and cons
Friend-to-friend fundraising (crowdfunding)
Essentially what Comic Relief is already using for their fundraising
Users can create their own donation page (web) and invite their friends to donate and support CR
JustGiving (UK based company):
Allows those participating to track donations, thank supporters and update followers on their progress
First to integrate fundraising and donating with Facebook
Also allows users to create their own fundraising page
One-click donations (Application) once the users data has been stored
Mobile Card Readers such as PayPal or Square
Very popular amount small businesses
Google Checkout (now Google Wallet): if we decided to develop for Android
Not charging qualified non-profits
Funds go straight to charities
Have been used in Android applications (for donation features)
Only Android
Text-to-give donations within the application (useful for our concept)
Charged directly to the donators phone bill
Donations limited to $10
Why mobile fundraise? - Why should charities focus on mobile fundraising?
Mobile:
Traffic going through the roof
92% of all 18-25 year-old owns a smartphone (expected in 2015) – mentioned in the report
Mobile users share twice as much as desktop users
More funds being donated by smartphone users (provided the process is easy)
Charities should optimise their donation pages for mobile
Important for any charity to get on board or they risk losing out on a lot of potential donations
Facebook:
21 million people login to Facebook every day in the UK (4/5 on a smartphone or tablet)
One in five donations share results in another donation
One FB share generate on average an extra £5 for charities
The future of fundraising?
Peer to Peer Payments
E.g. smartphone to smartphone payments
Payments via email (claimed by typing in a specific pin code)
NFC?
Near Field Communication (short wave radio transmissions) – like (Oyster Card)
Cheaper mobile card readers for non-businesses?
Mobile Wallet?
One-click payments with your phone
Pay with you phone (by tabbing your phone)

Transmedia Storytelling – Where did the story go? (why down prioritize the
story?)
Big community (UK and London in particular) vs. a small community (Odense)
•
Convergence Culture: Changing the common Protocols around Red Nose Day (as a
brand)
Creative ways of using Augmented Reality and LBGs
How could the “Lost Golden Nose” benefit from Cultural Probes?
•
The “Lost Golden Nose” in the future?
Could “Lost Golden Nose” be combined with “5 seconds of Fame” (concept idea)
somehow?
•
Media storm: What consequences can the latest media attention have on our
concept and Red Nose Day in general?
