While technology continues to grow and evolve, some may say that printed mailers are a thing of the past. We say, “au contraire!” In fact, as more companies turn exclusively to digital marketing and online billing, your constituents’ mailboxes are becoming uncluttered vessels with a captured audience.
We believe the best fundraising approach is an integrated one. That means developing a comprehensive plan that includes multi-channel integration, supplementing your direct mail campaigns with digital marketing solutions that reach your audience where they are and with multiple touch points.
Once your donor fundraising program goals are clearly defined, our team of expert consultants and project managers work with you to develop a strategic plan that checks all the boxes.
