Surprise! Study Shows Impact of Direct Mail in Gaining New Donors for Charitable Organizations
Posted By John Delavan, Tuesday, August 14, 2012

New research shows that direct mail continues to outperform many electronic marketing channels when it comes to obtaining charitable donations, according to a report from AccurateLeads. A study by research company Campbell Rinker on behalf of the nonprofit advisory firm Dunham+Company found that people were more than three times as likely to donate after being contacted by direct mail than by email.

The researchers asked people making a donation what had prompted them to make their contribution to the charity. The portion of people who were donating after receiving a direct mail appeal was 17 percent, more than three times higher than the 5 percent who had been prompted to donate by an email.

The study also found that donors ages 40 to 59 were the most responsive to direct mail: 47 percent of them responded to receiving a letter by making a donation in 2012, up from 34 percent in 2010. Donors over 60 also responded well to direct mail: 24 percent of them donated in 2012 after receiving a letter, an increase of 6 percent since 2010.

Rick Dunham, CEO of Dunham+Company, described the study’s results as "a bit of a shock.” But perhaps there is a simple explanation: We may pay more attention to a physical object that comes into our mailbox than an email, which can be easily deleted with the click of a mouse. Although electronic campaigns are a good way to raise awareness and increase a charity’s visibility, it seems nonprofit organizations looking to raise funds should be wary of relying too heavily on only online campaigning. A combination of direct mail and digital marketing may offer the best return on investment.

What success stories can you share involving the success of direct mail in soliciting donations for a nonprofit/charity-related client? Share your insights in the comments.

Please pass this along if anyone you know needs printing. Anything from checks and envelopes to labels and postcards.

Invest in Your Employees with Business Cards

To keep costs under control, some business owners hesitate to purchase business cards for their employees. But this makes for a lost opportunity to ‘grow’ your employees and to build your business at the same time.

Business cards make employees feel important, valued, part of the business, and builds company morale. If you have happy employees, they will work hard and put forth extra effort to help your company succeed.

One of the most important purposes of using business cards is networking. When your employees hand out their business cards, they are developing and enlarging their network. The bigger their network is, the more possibility they have of bringing in clients and customers to your business. It is a cost-effective way of marketing your business.

It’s a win-win situation for your employee and for your business.

Don't forget to place a new order in February with Design and Print and we will donate to the Helping Hands Humane Society.

"If you step on people while chasing your dreams you will fall hard, if you do right by people they will help you to succeed." I saw something like this somewhere and thought it was a great quote. If you know who said it let me know.
