SVDP fostering cell phone engagement

by | Mar 15, 2014 | Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Technology: Issues and Uses

svdp_logo_usaSomething for followers of Vincent and Louise to consider… The St. Vincent dePaul Society offers 10 reasons why their Councils should  consider cellphone engagement:

1. Reach the unengaged through a personal device carried by nearly everyone
2. Encourage one-time donors to give and participate more often
3. Increase your dollar amount, frequency and number of donors
4. Grow new donor, volunteer and member relationships
5. Deliver relevant, timely and high-value engagement
6. Build lasting relationships with high retention rate services
7. Have your messages read in the first 3 minutes of delivery
8. No added staff needed, this is a completely managed service
9. Nearly 100% of your attendees at your events are carrying a cell phone
10. Would YOU leave home without your cell phone? Neither would YOUR
Constituents!
