The tools we give you to get personalJonathan Purchase: Engaging Networks
www.engagingnetworks.net
Getting personal• Don’t make the mistake of treating everybody like
everybody• Successful online fundraising and activism is all about
building relationships, which will help you to raise more money and campaign more effectively
• How do you build those relationships? By getting personal
• It’s about your supporters not your organisation
www.engagingnetworks.net
Engagement to get personalSegmentation +Relevance=Interaction (email opens, donations completed, actions taken, loyal supporters)
www.engagingnetworks.net
Data segments…
Are only useful if you plan to segment supporters and personalise content. Otherwise what’s the point?
If you’ve decided to segment and personalise, what can you segment against?
www.engagingnetworks.net
Supporter interest
Segments can be used to customise content based on supporter interest
Content that’s specific to a supporter’s interest becomes relevant
1. Segmentation on
www.engagingnetworks.net
How can you find out what your supporters are interested in? • Ask them when they join
• Surveys
• Follow the types of actions they are taking
www.engagingnetworks.net
Humane Society International
Whales, seals, street dogs
www.engagingnetworks.net
Engagement (for re-engagement)• Segments can be used strategically to engage or re-
engage supporters• For example: a segment for lapsed supporters, a
segment for supporters that have only made a single gift, taken one action in the last year, etc…
• Why? because the donor attrition rate of someone that
makes a single donation is 50% but it drops to 30% if a donor makes two gifts*
2. Segmentation on
www.engagingnetworks.net
Applying this theory
No previous donation
Previous donation
Monthly donor
You can either send different emails to different segments or use our conditional content software to switch round copy in the same email based on pre-set profiles.
www.engagingnetworks.net
Message testingIf a person comes into your database after having taken action on a specific issue, you should 'test' for engagement with other issues
Use campaigns to identify your ‘segments’ (arctic, bears, badgers, etc…) and then build profiles based on this information
What else can you try?
www.engagingnetworks.net
Applying this theory
Ensure your actions are named properly to capture the interests. For example: Bears_donation_April_2012Bears_campaign_May_2012
Run a profile, looking for everyone who has taken a bears campaign or donation
Send this segment an email asking them to donate to your whales campaign
Send another email to the rest of your list asking them to donate to your whales campaign excluding the above bears segment.
Compare the results
www.engagingnetworks.net
Message testing – new joins
Email triggers allow you to automatically generate emails to specific supporters, at specific times, and at specific intervals.
Why not try email triggers?l triggers?
A welcome series don’t wait months to send the first newsletter
www.engagingnetworks.net
Applying this theorySet up your ‘join’ data capture and get supporters to use it
Decide the filter criteria – in this case new supporter but there are many others
Decide how often you want your ‘trigger’ to run in the software, to pick up new supporters (daily, weekly, monthly)
Decide on what your welcome series will be (content and duration)
If your ‘join’ form has a question asking for interests (bears, pandas, etc), different welcome series can be triggered based on interest. Automated segmentation!
Change the message content regularly, or format of the emails, and test open rates, click through, etc…
* Make sure you also pick up supporters who have taken a first action and ‘imports’
Super activists
• How do you treat super-activists? • Do you even know who they are in your database?• How do they become a super-activist for your
organisation?• How do you keep them at that level when they get
there? Perhaps rewarding super-activists with free festival tickets and other kinds of volunteering opportunities will get them more engaged
• Give them special ‘asks’ (letter writing, meet MP etc)• Don’t forget offline support
www.engagingnetworks.net
Who are your supporters?•Super activists
•Lapsed donors
•Campaigners only
•Interested in certain types of donation requests
•Interested in activity in their region
•Interested in certain issues
•Came from certain sources
•What else?

Ladders of engagement
If you know who your supporters are and segment based on interest or activity you can get your supporters to climb ‘ladders of engagement’
