People used to send postcards when they went on vacation, especially back in the days before we had email and social media. Now people are more likely to post pictures on social media, sometimes posting more than you want to see. We don’t use postal mail as much anymore and many nonprofits are a part of that group. This is a mistake. Direct mail is more personal and your donors are more likely to see something they receive in the mail, as opposed to any type of electronic message you send.

You love me. I love you. Let’s hang out and rock! Really, donors definitely want to rock and roll with you. It brings them joy and meaning! Yet, I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s doubtful you’re rocking along with your donors unless you’re making robust use of your donor database for this purpose. In other words, you must make donor engagement and retention a TOP priority.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

These include Google Ads they see every time they search a query, marketing emails that populate their inboxes, and ads that appear on their social media feeds. Your school is competing against all these ads for your donors’ attention.
