Key lessons in integrated multi-channel campaigns
Lesson #1: The importance of fundraising fundamentals.
Tweet questions to:
#10ntc.multi
Good offer.
Impact, not Need.
Need = The meansImpact = The end
Not all offers are created equal.
Right audience.
Timely and relevant.
Creative that works.
1. What is the need or opportunity?
2. What are you doing about it?
3. How do you want me to be involved?
4. Why do I need to act now?
5. What are the consequences of not acting?
Lesson #2: Pizzazz ≠ integration.
Tweet questions to:
#10ntc.multi
Integration isn’t abstract art.
Integration isn’t features.
Lesson #3: Integrate instead of re-create.
Tweet questions to:
#10ntc.multi
Synergize what you’re already doing.
Reuse creative.
Don’t “silo” your communications channels.
SILOing causes…
1. Duplication of effort.
2. Competing goals and priorities.
3. Brand and message confusion.
Lesson #4: Not all channels are created equal.
Tweet questions to:
#10ntc.multi
Response vs Influence vs Engagement.
RESPONSE channels drive direct, measurable response.
Direct Mail, Email, Phone, etc.
INFLUENCE channels influence response, but not in a directly attributable way.
Radio, banner advertising, print, etc.
ENGAGEMENT channels are great at engaging and interacting, but less
response driven.
Social media, customer service, etc.

Lesson #6: Use video (but test)
Online video is bigger than search.
We no longer think in words, we think in pictures.
Video costs time and money, so test.
Format and style
Length
No video at all
Etc.
An important note:You have to actually promote your videos.
Lesson #7: Don’t forget about relationship.
