It’s scary to realize Giving Tuesday is only a few weeks away. Are you afraid your email won't stand out in a crowded inbox on one of the busiest nonprofit email days of the year? The average open rate on Giving Tuesday is the same as it is the rest of the year, about 29%. Are you frightened you don’t have time to write enough emails? The most successful campaigns had no more than two emails. For most nonprofits, all you need to send is one email. Organizations that sent one email on Giving Tuesday raised more money than those that sent two, by about $1,000. This is according to research conducted by Neon One. There is nothing to fear when it comes to Giving Tuesday. Send one to two emails your supporters will open and engage with them. #emailmarketing #nonprofit #givingtuesday #npocampaignlab

We know that reaching out for donations is no walk in the park… here are our Top Tips for getting suppawt and having fun while fundraising! 1.   Get the ball rolling by donating to yourself – get tails wagging and show others how much you believe in what you’re doing. 2.   Bring out the big barks – tell your friends, family and workmates about your challenge. Share it on social media, send an email, or bark it from the rooftops! 3.   Share the puppy love – share a link to your fundraising page, explain what you’re doing, and suggest how their donation will help. For example, $55 will pay for a rainbow cane to help children with low vision or blindness get around safely. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise and train a Guide Dog, so every dollar you raise makes a difference.
