Joe BakerVP of Causes [email protected]
The Dream Campaigns•charity:water volunteers raised $250,000 through an event called Twestival organized via Twitter
•The Red Cross raised $32 Million through Twitter and mobile texting (sms)
•A handful or organizations have gained exposure and raised $10’s of thousands through winning “popularity” contests such as American Express, Pepsi, Chase, Microsoft and Case Foundation American’s Giving Challenge
•The Oxfam UK got about 34,000 pounds via an embedded link in a YouTube video posted the day after the Haiti quake.
“One Million Dollars…”
From Tweets to $250,000
Median dollars raised = $570
Calculating ROI
Return on Investment Formula:
ROI=(Gain from Investment – Cost of Investment)--------------------------------------------------------
(Cost of Investment)Breakeven: Gain from Investment = Cost of Investment
Payback Period: How long it takes to breakeven (and thus make a profit)
Adults prefer contact via email
Where do people spend most of their time at work? The inbox.
Most people donate online while at work.
What does ROI mean?
•A performance measure, expressed as a ratio, used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments.
•If an investment does not have a positive ROI, or if there are other opportunities with a higher ROI, then the investment should be not be undertaken.
