Good reason to Brand • Create compelling, branded (non-generic) easy-to-use donation landing pages. One step forms that are simple, clean, and match your branding are optimal for conversions. • The average donation made through a branded checkout page is 38% larger than the average donation made through a generic page, and donors who give through branded pages are 66% more likely to make a second gift. • http://www.clairification.com/2014/01/21/one-big-thing-nonprofit-must-today-succed-2014/
