1. The funnel is often presented as one potentially useful analogy for marketing. It is in fact, the primary analogy. All marketing should influence a decision.
2. The funnel analogy distorts reality. People are not falling into your funnel, they are falling out. The funnel must be inverted.
3. People don’t travel down the center of the funnel. People are climbing up the sides.
A New Perspective of the Funnel

Field Number FrictionA donation form with an
exorbitant number of fields adds unwanted friction to the giving process.
![Page 63: What Works? Results from Over 600 Digital Fundraising Experiments](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58d1c7441a28ab705c8b51b3/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Field Layout FrictionA donation form that has
vertically aligned fields may be introducing additional mental cost or friction into the process.

Decision Friction
Unnecessary friction in the giving process is introduced when donors are forced to make unanticipated decisions about their donation.
![Page 65: What Works? Results from Over 600 Digital Fundraising Experiments](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58d1c7441a28ab705c8b51b3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Confusion FrictionUsing organization-centric language or “inside baseball,” or multiple conflicting calls to action elicits confusion that creates friction in the online giving process.
![Page 66: What Works? Results from Over 600 Digital Fundraising Experiments](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58d1c7441a28ab705c8b51b3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Error FrictionUsing cryptic error messages or requiring users to re-enter information adds significant friction to the online giving process.

Registration FrictionRequiring account
registration slows down the donation process by adding unnecessary friction to the online donation process.

Waiting FrictionWhen a page takes too long to load or makes the user have to wait to access the page, this adds unnecessary friction to the process.
