Make it Personal – How to effectively add personalization to your donor campaign

Paul Tangusso — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 17:51:31 GMT

Personalization is not a new concept. Walk into a gas station near a tourist attraction across the United States and you are likely to find a keychain with your name on it. Consumers have grown from being in awe of this concept to expecting it. Today, personalized email marketing and direct mail are critical to driving customer response and interaction. A specific area that personalization is key is donor communications. Donors in today’s world are expecting appreciation for their contributions. One way of showing appreciation is by displaying to the reader specific information regarding the donor’s interest in why they continue to support the organization. The way marketers can accomplish this is through highly targeted messages based on customer research. The Human Heritage Project uses this level of personalization by using their communications to help donors become more involved in construction projects. They accomplish this by giving them the opportunity to input their creativity into the decorations and the setting. Donors thus feel part of the team and are more likely to contribute in the future.

An Internship to Remember

Meg Ennis — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 11:30:00 GMT

The internship at Universal Wilde was presented to me through the NEDMA Direct Marketing Scholarship that I was awarded this past spring. I am incredibly lucky for the opportunity that I have had with this internship. I would’ve never pushed myself out of my comfort zone and worked in a new type of company if it wasn’t for NEDMA. I have learned numerous marketing tactics and software skills as well as my personal preferences for future jobs.
