Are the People Reading Your Mail Ruining It?
How do you know if your fundraising appeal is any good? Long before the results come in, you need to know your fundraising message is as strong as possible. When you ask people to support you, there's a lot on the line: your brand, your reputation, not to mention a sizable investment.
So you try to boost your ROI by hiring skilled people and letting them use their skills and talents to create messages that get attention, tell your story and persuade people to act.
