Newsletters
The newsletter is the central tool of a fundraising campaign. In addition to communicating the reasons why you are asking for help from your donors, it can also be an opportunity to share the use of past donations by your organization and offer testimonials from beneficiaries.
The newsletter can have several formats and can contain a personalized donation coupon. This will be an incentive by lightening the donor’s task. Certain elements, such as the donor number or a barcode, will be useful when entering donation data or making a donation online using a hyperlink (QR code).
Envelopes
An attractive mailing envelope that is clearly identified with your organization is essential to the effectiveness of your fundraising campaign.
This must be opened by the potential donor!
A window envelope makes addressing easier. If you have an account with Canada Post, printing a postal sticker can simplify billing for postage.
Other Documents
Your campaign can include documents other than a newsletter. Depending on the information you need to transmit, you can send a complete report of your activities or a simple postcard.
For your holiday campaign or on the donor’s birthday, you can send a greeting card.
Email Campaign
You can also opt for a digital campaign.
Your donation request can be sent by email.
This method is more economical and more environmentally friendly.
