online engagement
are charities leading the way?the online engagement of chari/es and commercial organisa/ons can not be compared using high level Internet usage data (e.g. the percentage of people purchasing goods online versus the high street)In December 2012, research company NPD Group looked into the effect of social media on shoppers’ buying paFerns; they asked if respondents shopped for a product online as a result of something they had seen on a social media site, 27% said yes.purchasing goods online is a fundamentally different dynamic to online charity givingwhat can be compared is the effec/veness of chari/es in execu/ng the fundamentals of online engagement

marketing.... channel integration

conversion... charities are losing millions
are your donors working too hard?
it is unlikely that an un-‐tested dona/on form will convert at more than 15%some of the elements that make a difference:
ver/cal versus horizontal giR stringsone column versus two column layoutfield group orderform length (one page / two)trust seal placement
are your emails and pages ready for mobile?

TextTextText
this is a mul/page dona/on process that requires several selec/ons to work out the amount to givetheir old technology made it impossible for the digital team to communicate the way they wanted to: impossible to format fields, re-‐structure segments, or brandthey are re-‐building all dona/on and membership pages with Engaging Networks for release in April
www.engagingnetworks.net
conversion... are you mobile ready?
the train has left the stationemail is s/ll the most significant driver of online dona/ons from exis/ng supportersrecent figures put email opens on mobile devices at up to 35% -‐ only 1.4% will ever re-‐read the same email on a desktopSome data from Peta UK:
mobile op/mized pages available from September 2012less than 3% dona/on page conversion on a mobile pre-‐Septemberalmost 7% dona/on page conversion on a mobile since September

conversion... is mobile that big already?
yes it is
www.engagingnetworks.net
conversion.... ok, so mobile is taking off
some more interesting data
put simply: if you can’t convert a donor when they click through an email on their mobile device, you have lost them

relationship: they don’t even know who I am!
personalisation leads to relevance
have you ever asked a major donor to make a single giR of $5?do you maintain segments based on donor capacity?do you know what areas of your work or mission are of par/cular interest to each donor?do you maintain segments based on interest?do you ever ask your supporters what areas of your work are of interest to them?do you know what happens to lapsed donors? have you ever tried to recover them?
