Join National Trust for Historic Preservation and Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) as they discuss powerful campaign examples that capture donor imagination during that critical moment after sign ups when donors have shown initial commitment and interest. We’ll explore tactics like simple surveys, petitions, and other non-donation asks that give your new donors ways to self-segment and take action on your behalf.

The Best and Worst of Nonprofit Newsletters

1 ET / 10am PT

Michelle Shen
Digital Marketing Consultant @ The Purpose Collective

Patty Breech Founder and CEO @ The Purpose Collective

In this digital day and age, you have likely experienced reading emails of all kinds — ones that make you smile, ones that you save to read later, and even ones that stop you in your tracks and fully immerse you in their content. As a nonprofit professional, you know the impact a powerful email can have on a reader.

Yet, on the flip side, you have also read those emails that make you cringe — ones that are designed poorly and hard to read, ones that are filled with incorrect information, or even ones that just have too much information for you to reasonably read through.

During this session, we’ll walk through the best – and worst – of nonprofit email newsletters. By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with common mistakes to avoid and a clear path where you want to take your organization’s email marketing. With these easy tips, you’ll be able to draw your audience into your cause as a lifelong supporter.
