Fundraising Online
Led by Marc Lee, CFRE

A successful email appeal depends not just on the urgency and content of your appeal.

The look and layout of your email can bring donors in, or drive them away.

Increase your online donations with effective email design.

Your email might look great in your office, but who sees it? Breakdowns in deliverability, opens and click-thrus are a plague.

Learn from the Big Guys. This "hands-on" seminar will describe the most current techniques used by for-profit vendors to get the message through and complete the donation.

This seminar will focus primarily on email design and content issues that improve donations.

Special Review: Fundraising Widgets and Badges and what they can do for you.

Learn the 5 elements to Effective Email:

• Format
• Layout
• List Quality & Delivery
• Open Rates and Click-Thru Rates
• Donation Rates

Who Should Attend: Development, marketing & technical staff at Small & Medium size nonprofits.
Expertise Required: You have a "Donate Now" option in place on your website and have raised from $0.00 to $50,000 online in the past year.

This seminar will enable attendees to:

• Review the different email formats and which one(s) to use when.
• Learn design and layout techniques to improve email deliverability, opens and click-thrus.
• Know what your delivery and open rates really mean, and how to improve them.
• Understand the areas of concern an internal email audit should look at.
