Getting any of those components wrong can harm your results. Many organizations lose sight of that and get into trouble by forgetting important principles for success in direct response fundraising. The following will help you avoid some common pitfalls:
- Principles for Success in Direct Response Fundraising
- Think long term: Success in direct response fundraising is not measured by a single campaign. It is an ongoing process that must be viewed in terms of trends and cycles. (Click here for a more complete overview of "What You Should Expect from Direct Mail.")
- Set goals: If you don't have a destination, how will you know if you get there? Establish benchmarks for success with every project – and with your overall program.
- Pay attention: The devil is in the details, and direct response fundraising is a detailed business. Little things can often make the difference between success and failure.
- Take calculated risks: A big mistake can cost you dearly, but failure to test or take risks will stifle growth and ultimately lead to lost revenue.
