The Marketing Edge

As economic difficulties in the United States remain a reality, non-profit ministries need to find creative ways to expand their donor bases,   Ministries are finding that by expanding their donor base with the philosophy of finding more people who can give something  is wiser than remaining hopeful that the few who are able can give more.

There are numerous ways to use text messaging and the mobile web to increase donations.  The premium keyword campaigns approved through the Mobile Giving Foundation (ex: the Haiti relief effort) is a great option, but only one piece of the many ways mobile can increase giving.  Standard shortcode campaigns offer a great deal more flexibility and ease of use.  Consider, for example, a commitment to give via standard shortcode, and then the automated delivery of a URL to complete the donation online.  This is far less expensive, with far more flexibility.  Our Edge Mobile SMS Marketing Software has numerous applications that can be of benefit in a fundraising campaign and as a mobile advertising agency, we can easily walk you through the process of both a premium and standard keyword fundraising campaign.

Maintaining communication and building relationships are critical components in the successful donor management process.  To reap all of the rewards of the direct relationship mobile marketing offers, it is important to embrace much more strategy and execution in the mobile arena than just a premium keyword giving campaign.
