Noticing a critical mass of leadership donors aren’t able to attend our upcoming campaign kickoff due to a conflict, travel, whatever.
I’m in the market for ideas on how to make them feel the love even though they weren’t there.
BONUS POINTS: easy to implement. Will be burned out afterward.
Have you thought of making a “we missed you!” video? Could be a culmination of all the event activities that they missed so they can feel like they participated without physically being there?
Also, I’ve seen success with texting campaigns recently just as a quick touch point– doesn’t have to be crazy, just a quick sorry you couldn’t attend we hope to see you next time?
Next week’s episode of this podcast is going to have some good ideas for you 😉 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1968409
A great idea is to prepare an email to people who aren’t coming that you send 5 minutes before the event starts with the subject line “thinking of you” and a couple of bullet points and maybe a photo of everything getting ready.
BTS would be so cute! I’ll ask my events staff for that. I’m sure they need another thing to do. 🙂
Love the idea of texting!
