Segmenting your donors makes sense on every level. If you’re running a campaign, you can send different letters to different types of donors or segment by gift amount and encourage them to upgrade. You can also create a new donor welcome series, a special thank you mailing for monthly donors, or reach out to lapsed donors. Your donors are not the same.

While there may be good or even urgent reasons to create a “new brand,” doing so by itself will not improve fundraising results. Branding is not something created by marketing departments or brand experts. It’s not a color palette or a positioning statement.
