The Web as a Living Laboratory: What We've Learned from 2,200 Digital Fundraising Experiments

September 9, 2020 1:15 PM - 2:15 PM (EDT)

Description


By testing using a rigorous scientific methodology employed by Fortune 100 companies, we've debunked traditional fundraising best practices and uncovered breakthrough principles that produce transformational results.

In this rapid-fire session, we will look at dozens of real-world online experiments with nonprofit organizations and share the secrets to acquiring more emails, donors and dollars through the web. And we’ll demonstrate how you can apply these principles today to your own online fundraising campaigns.

Attendees will learn:

  • The “fundraiser’s fundamental flaw” that keeps them from getting better results and how they can overcome it.
  • How they can turn their web site into a living laboratory and collect rich behavioral data that helps them continue to evolve their understanding of their donors and what makes them give.
  • How effective storytelling can trigger a biological chemical reaction inside their supporters that forms a powerful bond to their organization and makes them give more generously.
