- 4. But the Internet can also lead to individual alienation and isolation…
- 5. THE HORMONAL ADVANTAGE OF THE HUMAN VOICE… • Humans are biological, social creatures • They produce hormones that create feelings of trust when there are interactions • When someone opens a letter or opens an email, there are fewer hormone produced • Face to Face • Pregnant mothers
- 6. The Human Moment • THE HUMAN MOMENT AT WORK by Edward M. Hallowell, The Harvard Business Review – • The human moment has two pre-requisities: 1. people’s physical presence 2. their emotional and intellectual attention. • Human moments take energy and that’s why they are often avoided – email.
- 7. The Human Moment • Nature also equips us with hormones that promote trust and bonding: • Oxytocin / vasopressin • in-person contact stimulates two important neurotransmitters: • dopamine, which enhances attention and pleasure, • serotonin, which reduces fear and worry
- 8. The Human Moment • Carnegie-Mellon study also showed that people who spend time online exhibited: • increased levels of depression and loneliness • even when only connected a few hours a week.

- WOM is seen as the most effective solicitation channel for Gen Y, X, and Boomers For Matures, direct mail is just as effective Younger generations are more open to other forms of solicitation: email (just as effective as dm with Y), social media, phone (though note that they are less likely to have a landline, and we heard in the focus group not as familiar with telemarketing) Mobile solicitation is still its infancy (more on this in a few minutes), but has more acceptance among younger audiences.All generations much more guarded with direct communications if no relationship in place, gets worse as gets older. Mass media the one accepted channel (74% appropriate). Big theme heard in focus groups is Control -- skepticism about getting manipulated. Feel like traditional solicitation channels – phone and mail – are manipulative. They want to feel like they made the choice/they are in control. Giving after hearing a mass media story, and/or being solicited by a friend makes them feel like they made a choice. Prospecting direct mail more acceptable than email across generations by 2:1 (45% to 21%) (different than what we saw on previous slide), but donors described that responding is not always a “feel good” experienceQ22 :Below are a variety of different ways that a charity may approach you and ask for a monetary donation. For each, please indicate how appropriate that approach is.Bold numbering in the table on the right indicates significance at the 95% confidence level

- I started out with Amnesty International in 1998 working in Member Services, but quickly shifted to the role I’ve had for the past 10 years - as the Online Fundraising Coordinator. This shift was no accident: I’m fascinated by the web and I love integration … and I detest the telephone. As an empathetic person, I figured, “I don’t like it when strangers phone me at home, why would I do this to others?”But I’m a telephone convert. I’m going to walk you through a case study to tell you why I’ve changed my mind.
- My case study will illustrate the steps for integrating electronic activism and telephone fundraising. I’m at Amnesty International, afterall – activism is what we do. And with no government funds, we have to be unapologetic fundraisers.I’ll show you the steps that worked for us. And I’ll draw on a few other scenarios so that together we can assess the key ingredients for success.Questions like- is the telephone’s inherent power enough?-what is important about timing – calling right away vs. calling at the right time?- what aspects of web & email integration are critical vs. helpful?
- I’ll start with a little context of our fundraising & communication program at Amnesty Canada.Things used to run very smoothly …. Read:In 1998, Amnesty International Canada launched a hugely successful 1-hour television program that was attracting hundreds of new monthly donors every month.This program helped triple our monthly donor file to 30,000 donors, and over the course of 10 years, monthly donors went from a small percentage to our primary source of income.This TV program was a game changer. We had Martin Sheen – “the president of the United States of America” on the West Wing, pre-911, telling YOU to be a monthly donor for Amnesty International. It doesn’t get better than that!Direct mail took a back seat, and the focus of our fundraising program was acquiring monthly donors.
- The television program was our core communication vehicle. It made all of our fundraising programs look good – all I had to do to make online fundraising work was integrate our online communications with our tv message and we were attracting 100 new monthly donors every month online.Integration meant:1. Setting up inbound telephone centres to handle calls generated by the TV program2. Revamping our old black & white publications to match the visual impact of our television program3. Introducing email to advertise our tv program and to building a secure online form to allow for fulfillment – and getting this url into the TV broadcast
- Read: But then along came the multi-channel universe … and digital tv … and web … and social media. There were just not enough television viewers on the stations we could afford. People were going elsewhere.As we watched TV dry up as a source of monthly donors, we diversified and invested in street canvassing as a new source of monthly donors.
- But even with diversifying our source of monthly donors, we couldn’t overcome the problem of attrition. There was nothing we could do with our communications to maintain the emotional power of television. We strengthened our Member Services, we produced beautiful print and online publications. With donors who didn’t understand our work or couldn’t afford to fund it, contacting these donors led to cancellations. So when we were confronted with technical problems related to changes in credit cards, we had to be careful about being pre-emptive in contacting donors. Worse, when a human rights crisis came, we were reluctant to contact our monthly donors – who by this time made up the majority of our membership.
- We had no choice but to adapt. We decided it was time to pick up the phone. Fortunately, at the urging of Mike, we began collecting phone numbers, as a routine, about a year and a half ago, in all of our epetitions. And throughout this period, we maintained a strong online activism program for annual donors and our acquisition lists. So we dug into our data and into our campaigning and got back to basics. Here’ s the case study.
- Activists around the world, but especially in Latin America, are being targeted, harassed and killed. This is a particularly heart-breaking one. Dora was gunned down while washing her clothes in the river last December. She was an environmental activist in El Salvador who had opposed a proposed Canadian gold mine in her province of Cabañas.Tragically, her story is part of a pattern.
- These activists were all killed last year, in Latin America. What they have in common: they raised concerns in their community about the impact of a Canadian mining operations. Typically these are communities in rural areas, whose majority ethnicity is Indigenous.An interesting fact that you’re most like not aware of: Three-quarters of the world’s mining and extractive industries are based in Canada. It has a lot to do with public markets and the fact that the Canadian Venture Exchange has a long history of supporting oil & gas, mining & extractive industries. Another fact that probably won’t surprise you: Canadian-registered companies operating outside of Canada aren’t held to the same standard as in Canada.An elected member of Canada’s parliamentarian is pushing a private members bill to address these problems.The mining lobby is nervous and has been lobbying against the bill. The bill, however, is very close to passing – there’s a vote in Parliament next week.
- Here are some highlights of our online campaigning:We started by contacting on e-acquisition list. It’s focused – one theme – 2 options both pointing in the same direction – to take action.This message was sent a year ago October, 2009 to 26,000. The email had a 20% open rate, and a 10% click-through rate – fairly typical these days for us.What did they click on? 2016 take action266 quiz (which led to the action)http://www.amnesty.ca/updates/speakout/oct09/speakout_oct09.html
- The recipients were sent to an epetition directed at key Parliamentarians who were on the Committee that reviewed the bill.Note some important aspects to the petition:#1 phone number – we asked. Does this suppress signatures? That’s a debate. We make it a non-mandatory field – and find that about 30% fill it out anyway. It’s worth it#2 counter - why? “social proof”. participants see that 1000s are doing this#3 comments – these are streamed – they build momentum and act as examples – they give participants the confidence to write their own words#4 subscribe – this builds a list for e-cultivation – you can’t use your big list all the time – this filters out the best activists for higher touch cultivation#5 more info – a minor link so as not to distract, but important for legitimacy to show the depth of research/legitimacy of actionother – use of photo, clear action statement, target is obvious, message is clear, opportunity to add personal comments, required fields clearly indicated, link to more comments to increase comfort level of participants3 weeks later, on November 1st, there were 2792 signatureshttp://www.amnesty.ca/urgentappeal/2009/CorpAcct/
- More campaigningDecember 10th is International Human Rights Day, and in Canada, we organize an event called Write for Rights, where letter-writing events are held in schools, cafes, community centres across Canada. http://www.amnesty.ca/writeathon/?page_id=1362Thousands more saw this: core activists and a new audienceThe MP spoke at our National OfficeThe Bill C-300 petition was featured as a priority actionWe added a video.
- The epetition, Write for Rights, a video were all made shareable on the most important channels for social media:facebooktwitter YouTubeEach of these channels is seen as a support vehicle, not as a campaign tool unto itself: too unproven. Our experience shows that we can have significant success with re-tweeting, facebook postings etc. but with negligible impact on the main action we want people to take.
- Now it was time to get to work on the phone. At this stage, we had captured over 5,000 names on this petition. From this, we had 1654 with good phone numbers. And after comparing these names with donors who had made a gift in the last few months, we were left with 1339 calls to make.
- This message was sent to the full list. It didn’t mention the phone call. It was sent immediately after the gulf spill and highlighted the shocking fact that every year the same amount of oil as had been spilled in the Gulf is spilled EVERY YEAR in the Niger delta.It gave an opportunity to give immediately through a secure online form. This led to half a dozen monthly gifts.http://www.amnesty.ca/urgentappeal/2010/c300/email/index.html
- Aspects of a good donation form:It’s secure: https, verisign, branded, verifiableBest practices: phone giving option, email/phone for questions, charity #, secure, clear layoutGood strategy:-Monthly donation first-Donor testimonial-Benefits of monthly-Premium – t-shirt (reinforced on call)Donation form:https://www.amnesty.ca/secure/joinamnesty.ca/
- Now, it was time for the calling.Prior to calling a training session was arranged between our hired callers and the key campaigner. This assured that the callers were motivated to make this campaign work. The script spoke to current news, urgencyAsked first for :1.a monthly gift – emphasizing that it’s easy, if no, 2. a single gift, if no 3. can we send you something in the mail, and4. an invite to learn more by visiting our website
- Of all petition-signers, we discovered there were four main segments within the data: -people who only signed the petition, which made up the bulk of the list-people who had also received an on-line newsletter, -those who were once a single-gift donor, and -lapsed monthly donors. Not surprisingly, the lapsed monthly donors had the highest response rate at 18.5 % followed by deep lapsed donors at 11%. Petition signers responded at 7.6% and the people who had also received an e-newsletter had a 9% monthly donor rate.
- Can you just call?Not if you don’t have phone numbers!! And to exploit the power of the telephone you need good callers. We use trained professionals.From our experience, the absolutely vital factors for success are:- a meaningful campaign (the feedback from the callers suggests this, felt participation could affect the outcome)-list growth – by whatever means – if social media works for you, fine or video-a quality list is also critical – how do you get it – cultivation by email? Your own donors. But you want a list of people who are pre-disposed to your cause, are capable of giving, are sympathetic to your call to giving. If you’re following this model, where you start by acquiring new people through e-actions, all of the “nice to haves” might be critical in creating the pre-disposition to giving. Cultivation might play a more critical role.
