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.

The work has been very interesting and relaxing, it’s been nice to disconnect for a little and just enjoy the beautiful views around me.
