A question to you…
What percentage of money comes into charities in the
US, through on-line compared to off-line?
On-line percentage of income…
2012 7.0%
2011 6.3%
2010 7.6%
* Blackbaud’s 2012 On-line Giving Report –2.025 charities, $4.8bn income
A definitive report…
28 US charities – figures are 2010
$1bn in revenue, over 15m donors
More than three-quarters of gifts are direct mail, only 10% are on-line.
Money from events and starter gifts over $250 is excluded
Distribution by age…
Value and retention…
Now, multichannel…
51% of on-line donors are using mail for
support three years later
Interesting research…
TGI report in 2010
10.9m people in UK hadn’t used the internet in last 12 months
59% of 65 year olds
Customers asking for mail not email (Ebiquity)Lloyds 52% v 13%, Churchill Insurance 50% v 20%, BT 46% v 22%, Virgin Media 44% v 21%
Paper not email?Research from Milward Brown at Bangor University*
MRI scanners showed brain activity – ads on screen v on cards
Paper – more integration of visual and spatial info, more ‘real’, better memory
More activity in the right retrosplenial cortex, therefore more EMOTION
* ‘Using neuroscience to understand the role of direct mail - 2011’
Further facts…2012 support campaign to Poppy Day
Over £8m
Ratio of money off-line : on-line
1000 : 1
But…multi-channel is more valuableIn 2012, median revenue per donor
multi-channel - $189, offline - $69, online - $130
First year retention multi-channel - 64%, offline 37%, online 32%
Multi-year donor retention multi-channel - 67%, offline 42%, online 32%
Reactivation rate (1-5 years lapsed) multi-channel - 28%, off-line 21%, on-line 20%

Emotion
‘The essential difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action and reason leads to conclusions’

And a step back in time…
Fundraising marketing…
…is unlike any other marketing
…relies PURELY on emotion
The emotion must SATISFY the donor
…enough to make them give again
…and leave a gift in their will when they DIE!
