WHY IS MULTICHANNEL IMPORTANT? Huge assortment of marketing channels
means that your potential donors could anywhere – and you need to be where they are.

REACHING NEW PROSPECTS THROUGH ONLINE CHANNELS
Situation: Looking to reach new prospects beyond the donor database, while keeping costs at or below those for direct mail
Solution: Developed an online campaign using tightly-targeted keywords in Paid Search and targets in Facebook to generate leads for various topics in Planned Giving. As part of the campaign, a DR-focused set of landing
pages was developed for the respective traffic
30
![Page 31: Richard Reider, Program Manager, American Red Cross Rachael Strang, Account Executive, BKV](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e565503460f94b4e493/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DIGITAL CPL CUT BY AN AVERAGE OF 75% COMPARED TO MAIL
Results: Going online was a great channel for reaching NEW prospects within the program’s target demo After performing a matchback analysis, we found vast
majority of the leads we drive from online efforts were indeed new to ARC

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE
Recommendations for next campaign: Not part of donor base, so what’s the strategy for
moving forward (not donors as far as we can tell), how do we move them down the funnel. Retargeting, going back to those who don’t convert (opps for those that go to page and don’t convert).
