Do This And Your Fundraisers Could Raise 264% More

Small actions make huge differences when it comes to your fundraisers’ success.  One of the great things about fundraising online is the ability to gain insight into the key actions that result in more funds raised.  With peer-to-peer fundraising we know that 3 key actions (posting an update, posting a photo, and saying thank you) especially when taken together, will increase the funds your participants raise... DRASTICALLY.  

Encourage your fundraisers to do the following actions to help them maximize their results:

1) Upload 1 photo for a 121% increase in average number of donations!  Encourage your fundraisers to share their moments of joy (or pain).  If it's a fitness related campaign, encourage photos while training for the big race or competition. Who doesn’t enjoy seeing a visual of their friends having to run in the rain or complete another after-work marathon workout? When your fundraisers share the ups and downs of their experience, it highlights their commitment to your cause and inspires others to give or get involved.



2) Keep their network up to date for a 17% increase in funds raised. Their family and friends donated to their page, so why not keep them up to date as fundraising progresses? Just like a Facebook page, your supporters can update their status to keep their friends and family in the loop. Remember that the more often donors visit a fundraising page, the more likely they are to take an action (like donate, share, or get involved).  

3) Say thanks to see an 80% increase in funds raised, and to increase the likelihood of future donations. Don’t forget to remind your fundraisers to say thank you.  Your fundraisers can post a thank you note donors directly on their everydayhero fundraising page to show the whole world how much they appreciate the support. 



Take a look at the table below to see just how a few minor actions from your fundraisers can really make all the difference between a good and a fantastic fundraising page.
