The Challenge
Create a giving day
SPFB wanted to create a custom giving day to promote during Hunger Action Month (September). The goal was to raise as much revenue as possible, with a secondary goal of figuring out which programs donors were interested in supporting.
The Solution
An interactive landing page
We created a custom giving landing page, built on the Donor Marketing Cloud (DMC) platform, that allowed people to “vote” on which program they wanted to win the Giving Frenzy by donating. This served two purposes: 1) gifts were not restricted as they were not being made for a specific program, and 2) the food bank learned more about what people were interested in.
Breakthrough
A success for donations ... and data
This campaign was the first time the food bank had created their own giving day, so all the results were new to them. Creating this campaign on the DMC allowed for data integration with their Salesforce CRM, where people’s “votes” were noted as their interest areas. The food bank will also use this data to influence their marketing efforts moving forward. For example, the nutrition education program did not receive a lot of votes; SPFB realized they need to market that program more.
