He has also worked for Sanctuary for Families, a domestic violence shelter, and the Brooklyn Historical Society. Steve s fundraising career began in 1996 as a door-to-door canvasser and he believes this is the most important job any career fundraiser can hold. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Direct Marketing Fundraisers Association. Steve holds a BA in Women and Gender Studies from American University and a MPA in nonprofit financial management from New York University. Phyllis Freedman, President, SmartGiving Phyllis Freedman is President of SmartGiving, an independent consultancy specializing in planned giving marketing and strategic fundraising.

Beasley, Director, Direct Marketing, Arbor Day Foundation Much of Glen s 15+ years of Direct Marketing experience has been in the for profit world working for companies such as Harry and David, Musician s Friend and Bowflex. Glen joined the Arbor Day Foundation in 2008 and has made a great connection with nonprofit fundraising, our industry s close relationships and the genuine passion we all have for our causes. He is currently in charge of the Arbor Day Foundation s direct mail program, and online membership and Planned Giving lead generation. Glen holds a degree in Marketing from Southern Oregon University. 2

3 Let s not over think this it is Our goal as direct response fundraisers should be to identify older donors who are likely to consider leaving a charitable donation in their estate plans and to market our group s Planned Giving information while using basic reports to track the effectiveness of our efforts. remarkably simple. By following this guiding principle the ASPCA substantially increased the number of planned giving leads within just 18 months. 3

4 A problem of our own design After several years of aggressive RFM cuts to house file mailings, the ASPCA had been successful in improving the efficiency of individual mail campaigns by ignoring lower dollar and further lapsed donor segments. This strategy had been eliminating unproductive segments from our communication/solicitation stream unfortunately this segmentation strategy was disproportionately excluding donors aged 70+ who had been giving smaller gifts under $10. As a result, we simply hadn t been talking to our best planned giving prospects about the ASPCA s work. 4

5 Age distribution of recent donors Target growth This chart shows the ASPCA s age distribution for new donors acquired through direct mail over the past two years. Even though this distribution is older than the web & DRTV, it still shows the gap we targeted for growth. 5

6 The 5 bucket strategy Total donors in the last 0-24 months Need more donors 70 years of age and older Focus on converting older donors to be active & committed defined as 3+ gifts and MRC 0-24 months Find donors interested in being planned giving Information Seekers Identify donors who have already listed the ASPCA in their estate plans. 6

7 Tracking growth in the buckets Nov Jun Jan % Growth 0 24 donor count 990,919 1,093,387 1,199, % 70+; HPC $5+;MRC 0 60 mos. 165, , % 70+; 3+ gifts; MRC 0 24 mos. 96, , % Information seekers 6,379 8,499 9, % Legacy Different Society strategies members have driven 701 each of the 1,225 segments 1,605 shown % here. As our size grew, appends helped identify older donors we already had. Our goal is for active & committed to keep pace with full file growth. 7

10 Remaining challenges Finding best house mailings to use for our 70+ carry strategy in order to maximize conversion to Active and committed Break-out of different Info-Seeker strategies to calculate cost per lead and also to track eventual conversion to gift by pathway used to first identify the lead. Develop better conversion of Info-Seekers to identifies and confirmed Legacy Society members. Assign Planned Giving Revenue Receivable back to the acquisition channel and source 10

11 QUESTIONS? Steve Froehlich Senior Director, Direct Response, ASPCA Direct line:

12 What works in planned giving marketing 12

13 Start with a Plan! Of PG Society members surveyed, only 60% report working from a plan! Apply the same discipline to PG marketing as you do to DM Goals and objectives Communication matrix Production Schedules 13

14 Rules to Live By Follow basic DM principles Personalization & customization Write & Design with this audience in mind Remember these are major donor prospects PG marketing is lead generation activity (for the most part) Evaluate based on final outcome not just initial response Be careful about testing response rates are very low making statistical validity problematic 14

15 Write & Design with the Audience in Mind Jargon/technical terms Copy heavy Text only Generic Information-burdened Donor-friendly language Readable/white space Photos of donors/cause Mission-filled Response-enhancing 15
