Communicate or die! That's what fundraising consultant and communications expert Jeff McLinden cautions nonprofit CEOs, development directors and marketing managers in this practical handbook. Designed to help you not only share your message to prospects and donors, but to engage them for long-term involvement with your cause, you'll learn dozens of critical principles and best practices for effective -- and profitable -- donor communications.
What are the "power channels" that help you raise more money? How do you take best advantage of what's working in this hyper-competitive fundraising environment? How can you employ "cross-channel" marketing communications and new technologies to engage your stakeholders in meaningful "conversations" that raise more money?
You'll learn the answers to these questions and, more importantly, learn how to apply them to your own nonprofit organization.
With three decades of experience working for some of the largest and most well-known nonprofit organizations -- plus twenty years as a consultant, teacher and trainer -- McLinden reveals tools, tactics, and techniques that can help you create a more powerful, more effective and more profitable communications strategy.
