Getting Your Donors to Stay, Upgrade, and Give Year after Year: The Donor Retention Master Class
You won’t want to miss it… because donor retention is where the easy money is. Your current donors are your low-hanging fruit. They’ve already demonstrated (1) they’re interested in what you do, and (2) they’re willing to write a check to support your mission!
Keep More Donors, Upgrade More Donors and Make your Donors’ Friends your Friends
It’s much easier to get a second gift from your current donors than to get a new gift from a relative stranger. It’s more cost-effective too. Yet nonprofits on average retain only 41% of their donors (and only 27% of 1st-time donors). This is not a sustainable funding strategy.
How do I know this can be fixed? Because commercial businesses retain 94% of their customers! And, no, it’s not because they throw a lot of money at them. It’s because they commit to a culture of customer service. They don’t just chew ‘em up and spit ‘em out. They woo them. Continually.
You must commit to wooing your donors.
This means keeping them satisfied, because research shows this is the number one reason they stick around. And guess what? No one can do this alone. It takes everyone on your team, working together. Your donors only know ONE organization. If the fundraiser treats them great, but the receptionist is rude, this destroys all your hard work.
But here’s the deal: If you can commit to keeping just 10% more donors today, this will TRIPLE the lifetime value of these same donors!
Sounds good, doesn’t it?
But to get that return, you need an organization-wide commitment. And you need an integrated, strategic retention plan. Donor retention may begin in the development department, but it can’t end there. A bit of a culture shift must occur so that everyone in your organization actively channels gratitude – every day of the year.
Participating in this Master Class should be an absolute no-brainer. You’re going to triple the value of your current donors!
Here’s What’s Included in the Master Class…
During the Donor Retention Master Class, you’re going to learn everything you need to keep your current donors giving year after year, get them to give more, and get them to introduce their friends and family to your organization:
- Two Pre-Course Guides to help you prepare for the live event
- A live 90-minute webinar presentation with ample time for Q & A
- Six actionable worksheets to help you put what you learn into practice right away
During the live webinar, you’ll learn a complete Strategic Donor Retention Plan that includes tested, successful donor-centered strategies, including:
- A strategy for getting a second gift from a new donor
- How to build strong and lasting relationships with your donors
- Your gratitude program – how to thank your donors the right way
- How to get your donors to upgrade their gifts every year
- Your donor referral strategy (getting donors to open their networks)
- How to get donors to make planned gifts, become monthly donors, and more
Yes, you still need to acquire new donors. But prioritizing donor retention and stewardship is the smartest thing you can do to sustain your nonprofit over time.
If you do it right, these are the rewards you’ll reap:
- You’ll stand out from your competitors (in a really good way)
- You’ll raise more dollars
- You’ll have more donors
- You’ll have happier donors
- You’ll be happier yourself
That’s right! What you’ll learn in this Master Class will not only improve your bottom line, it will also lead to less stress and anxiety at your non-profit. You won’t need to keep wringing your hands, wondering where your next gift will come from… you’ll already know, because your donors will keep giving year after year, and introducing you to their friends and colleagues.
