OVERVIEW
Campaign Launch

Lessons Learned
CAMPAIGN LAUNCH
1. Fundraising Platform
We evaluated over 10 platforms and selected Stay Classy because:
Low Fee: $99/mo + 3%
Excellent user experience
Email import feature
Superior reporting functionality
2. Launched Mailchimp
We conducted a detailed analysis of Constant Contact vs Mailchimp and decided to use Mailchimp because:
Fee Structure: Free under 2k emails
More templates by designers
Easier to use analytics
3. Content Creation
To drive the campaign, we created engaging content designed for online channels including video, email, Facebook, and blogger outreach. Notable examples include:
Filmed and edited video from Congressman Keith Ellison
Collected stories from survivors
Compiled statistics about early detection and converted it into Facebook gems
Designed an infographic
