Online Fundraising: Communicating Urgency
More and more we’re relying on social media as a large part of our fundraising efforts. You want a response. You want to create urgency. Consider these key elements whenever you’re designing a fundraising campaign.
So itâs your job to compel a supporter to act now. Not tomorrow, not next week.
But how do you convey urgency without being pushy?
-
Talk about the most important thing: them
-
Talk about urgent news
-
Tell them what theyâll miss if they donât act now
-
Tell them their impact will be doubled for a limited time
-
Tell them to do it NOW
Create URGENCY.
Fundraising expert John Haydon says, “A simple way to create a sense of urgency is to use certain time-based trigger words in your copy:
- Now
- Quick
- Instant
- Hurry
- Fast
- Etc⊔
