Session: Level Up Your Online Fundraising
Thursday July 11 9 AM - 10:15 AM
Is your website driving away your donors? Are you trying to figure out how to translate engaging supporters on social media like Twitter and Facebook into donations? Do you want to learn how to motivate more people to donate on your website? Many nonprofit organizations struggle to attract new donors and sponsors from their online fundraising efforts. A recent Nielsen Usability study of nonprofit websites reported that almost half of nonprofit websites actually have elements that drive potential donors away.
In this session, Aaron Long – Vice President of Client Services at Schipul The Web Marketing Company in Houston Texas – will explain the psychology of what people are looking for online and what will make them take action and donate on your website. Aaron will share best practices and lots of real examples from his work with nonprofits successfully using the psychology of web marketing in combination with their social media, email newsletters, and offline efforts to drive donations.
You’ll walk away with ideas and tips you can start implementing right away to improve your online fundraising!
