Building and sustaining fundraising engagement takes time and effort, but it makes a huge difference as deadlines and election days draw near. Some teams rely on printed pamphlets, emails, and word of mouth. However, with 2023 fast approaching, this is the time to revisit your market strategies.
Though more organizations are switching to SMS marketing to contact supporters and send donation links, currently, only 15% of nonprofits text their supporters. By jumping on board now, you can establish your SMS donation campaign in a less crowded channel. Only 20% of marketing emails are ever opened, compared to 99% of text messages. And when 78% of people are saying text messages are the fastest way to reach them, why consider any other communication method? Let’s dive into why text messaging should be central to your 2023 strategy.
