Hello everyone! I just created a fundraiser for my sweet dog. I’ve shared it with as many people as I can think of, and shared it publicly on my Facebook. Any tips on it? I’m hoping to get some help fast. I tried saving the money for her on my own, but I’m out of work right now. So these procedures have been put off for way too long. Thanks everyone.
Hey
One suggestion I have is to use the update feature a little differently. Updates can keep your donors informed, but also inspire them to keep giving or to share your cause with the people they know as well.
Here’s a few different update messaging strategies worth trying:
- Calls to action (share requests, donation requests, or resource requests)
- Ask donors a question and let them know they can follow up privately through the “Contact” button or publicly by donating $5 and commenting their answer
- Milestones (include photos and videos if you can)
- Call out the weekly top supporters through updates
- Update donors when you receive a deposit of the funds, so they know their money is safe
You can check out this post for more information on what to include in an update post as well:
Lastly, including some more photos of Daisy to break up your text would be a nice addition!
