4 Ways to Maximize Text-to-Give
We’ve have 4 ways to help you maximize this feature and make you the new hero in your organization’s jump in donations!
1. Prepare to Educate
Use Text Giving yourself, as well as your team to see how everything works.
Our Customer Support team is here to help you be as knowledgeable as possible. If you have questions, ask us, as your team members might be wanting to ask the same questions.
2. Make it Visible
Make sure that your Text-to-Give number is visible on flyers, websites, announcements, social media, etc., This will help serve as a simple reminder and is a quick way for people to give if they forget their checkbooks or cash.
Encourage your donors to save the phone number in their contacts for quick access.
In the beginning, donors may be slow to catch on but the more exposure they get, people will eventually recognize the convenience of this new way of giving.
Make sure you include step-by-step instructions on your website, social media or other places you feel it is appropriate to do so.
3. Special Events and Fundraisers
Giving Tuesday has come and gone but there is no reason why you can’t implement your own day of giving.
Whether it’s monthly, quarterly, or annually, you can designate a separate campaign and Text-to-Give number for special giving purposes. This can help create an excitement and sense of urgency to give.
Heard of radio pledge drives? Most public radio stations are funded by their listeners and make appeals to them to be monthly donors. They find great success by making special appeals to their audience.
Having a specific Text-to-Give campaign that is announced during special times of the year can help you increase your giving.
In addition, you can use the 'Thermometer' widget on your website to give your donors a visual of how close you are to achieving your fundraising goals.
4. Incentives
You can go the extra mile to help people save time by encouraging and implementing recurring giving through Text-to-Give and even thank them for doing so!
Become a recurring donor and receive a free book, t-shirt, etc. Through our Conditional Logic or ‘Actions’ tab, you can give donors a free item when they have completed scheduling a recurring a donation on your page.
Now that we’ve helped open your eyes to the new possibilities of giving, are you excited yet?
We are excited to see how Text-to-Give will help you make this year in giving like no other!
