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.
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.
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?
Love the idea of texting!
BTS would be so cute! I’ll ask my events staff for that. I’m sure they need another thing to do. 🙂
