As a fundraiser, you write and edit lots of copy – direct mail letters, donation pages, donor thank you letters, event invitations, newsletters, and more.
One of the most important things you write are fundraising email appeals. But there is so much conflicting information and “best practices” about how your appeals should be crafted.
How do you know what actually works to increase email revenue?
The truth is…the only way to really know what works is to put your ideas to the test and let the data tell you what works. But that could take quite a long time.
Which is why we’ve done the hard work for you.
