Tips from LaunchGood to Preparing for GivingTuesday
As GivingTuesday approaches, it's essential for campaign creators to prepare for this day. It's not just another fundraising opportunity—it's a global movement that can make your campaign stand out. Achieving success on this day requires thoughtful planning, a good understanding of your supporters, and a story that connects with the hearts of the Ummah.
Here are some tips from LaunchGood:
Teamwork is key! Get a group of 10-20 passionate people about your cause. If each person secures just 20 donations, that's a lot of support. Use tools like WhatsApp or Slack to create a dedicated group. Share updates, motivate each other, and celebrate small wins.
Stand Out with Your Content: In the digital age, pictures say a lot. Create eye-catching images, posters, and short videos that connect with your cause. Make sure they have a clear call to action. Update them in real-time during the campaign to keep the excitement going.
Add a Personal Touch with Phone Calls: A personal phone call stands out among all the digital messages. Set up phone trees where team members call their contacts directly. A direct appeal often gets better results, especially from someone they know.
Master the Art of Asking: Train your team to ask for support confidently. Many people donate because someone they trust asked them to, not just because of the cause itself.
Effective Follow-Up: After reaching out, always follow up with a reminder and a direct link to donate. This simple step can significantly increase the number of people contributing.
Thoughtful Social Media Use: While being on social media is good, personal outreach is a priority. Use social platforms to boost your message, share success stories, and create community.
As LauchGood said, Plan, Do, Thank: Before GivingTuesday, gather your team, plan, and get ready. On the day, reach out actively and keep your energy high. After it's over, take the time to thank every supporter and volunteer.
Showing gratitude goes a long way for everything in your life!
