The basic rules still apply…
• Fundraising is still about relationship building

Web Site OptimizationWeb Site Optimization 75% of donors will check your website before making a gift
whether it is Online/Offline
If Relationships are Built on Communications . . . Set yourself up for success!
A Few Key Changes can Make a Huge Difference
Your website = tool for engagement
![Page 14: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Web Site Optimization:Before, After, and After!
![Page 15: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Learn from your content(Start with Google Analytics to see how many unique visitors you have, how they found you,what they viewed, where they stayed the longest, and what content produced actions.)
2. Make your content easy to consume(Always offer RSS feeds in addition to various subscribe options. Make sure they are easy to find and use.)
3. Make your content ever changing (Be brave enough to blog, show responses, share viewpoints, and utilize forums. New information needs to be added daily or
weekly by you and your community. Why do you think millions go to Facebook or Twitter by the minute.)
4. Make your site easy to find(Every NPO and those serving NPO’s should have a social web presence. Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter and Flickr
are your outposts linking back to the web site hub!)

Communications
• People are connected 24/7
• How can we be expected to communicate with so many people?
• How can we personalize our message?
![Page 60: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Why Has Email Become So Important?
• People are busy…they want to communicate/interact on their own time
• Email is inexpensive…• Email provides virtually instant access
to friends and supporters• Email is a great equalizer• Email is measurable• Today’s Supporter has shifted
![Page 61: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Grow Your List Online• Direct staff and other close
supporters (board, volunteers, etc.) to include subscription links in email signatures
• Use Search Engine Optimization/Marketing to increase traffic and subscriptions
• Advertise your newsletter/services/cause through a 3rd party list
![Page 62: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Grow Your List Offline• Ask for email addresses at
every touch point
• Instruct staff to capture email addresses over phone when appropriate
• Include your website address on all printed materials
• Offer an incentive to register (contest, raffle) to collect emails
![Page 63: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Why Segmentation is Important• Segmentation breaks your
audience into manageable parts
• If the goal is building relationships, it helps to know who you are talking to
• Segmenting your list will lead to more targeted messages
• If you don’t segment, you are treating every one of your recipients like they are the exact same type of person
![Page 64: Nsfa Conference Kierce](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062613/54478d90afaf9f25708b45b2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
How to be a Good Sender• In your messages, always include:
– The purpose; why you are sending it to the reader
– A clear way to unsubscribe. – Consider offering alternative ways to receive
emails, such as:• Receiving newsletters monthly vs. weekly• Change of address (home vs. business email)• Sign up via RSS
– Link to your homepage– Privacy policy– Physical/street address of your organization
• Don’t get caught in spamtraps

Designing for Mobile Devices

• Include compelling call to action in the first 15-25 characters of your subject line
• Avoid “top heavy” images in the design• In addition to testing email browsers, test
messages in handheld devices
