Optimism and butter: 4 ways tech will transform how you fundraise in 2013 Keynote Sponsored by:
Hello masses of communicators. * Greg Verdino, Brian Solis
Takeaway: Your three peers • WITNESSES: People on the front lines of your work (front lines staff, volunteers, beneficiaries) who can speak authentically about the change they see • FANS: Fans who will champion your work within their circles of influence • AUTHORITIES: People with credibility and authority who can attest to the quality of you and your work (ratings agencies, thought leaders who offer endorsement)
Takeaway: Lowering the bar for action • Enable and celebrate slacktivism through technology • Lower the bar for engagement especially on social media • Use the social proof of those collective actions to get momentum behind your cause • - Remember it’s about relationships, not transactions • Build off the baby steps of slacktivists by cultivating them specifically and encouraging more action over time
Takeaway: Raising the bar for engagement • Mine your data • Segment your supporters • Relate your cause to their values • Use technology to put the donor at the center of your story • - Invite donors to shape you and your cause
According to a report by CNN, the average person checks their smartphone: 34 • times per day In 2012 more emails were read on smartphones than on computers or webmail!
Takeaway: Raising the bar for engagement • - You absolutely, positively must make it easy for your cause to be experienced on a smartphone. No matter how great your content, if it can’t be delivered in this way, you will be left behind. • Take inventory of how bad or good it is • Recognize the opportunity (the chance to reach people more immediately) and the constraint (mobile experiences need to be simple and easy) • Optimize for giving and pledging
