Example: What goals will we achieve by raising $25,000 for the local soup kitchen?”
Goal One: To illustrate that homelessness has risen 25% in our city over the last year, resulting in a rising demand for our free meals and job training services. We want donors to understand that every night there are lines of hundreds of hungry people outside of our door waiting for a hot meal.
Goal Two: For every $50 donated, 25 homeless people will get a nutritious dinner for one week at our soup kitchen, beginning next week.
Goal Three: For every $25 donated, our soup kitchen will provide computer-training classes to 10 people homeless people we are serving for one month.
Goal Four: To tell the personal story of a soup kitchen volunteer who has benefitted from eating regularly at our soup kitchen and participating in our job-training program.

Email 1: Tell the story of the overall campaign, lay out the campaign goals and the impact donors can expect to see from their action.
Email 2: Update people on the campaign’s progress. Remind people of the story you shared in the previous appeal. Reinforce the message that you still need their help to make an impact and meet the campaign goals.
Email 3: The final message is another update and one last ask for help to truly make that tangible impact and meet your goals.

What programs, initiatives or campaigns does your organization have coming up in the next 6 months that you think would make a good multichannel campaign? Pick one
to focus on for this exercise.
>> Brainstorm three short term and long term objectives for this initiative.
![Page 34: Best Practices to Build a Multichannel Campaign](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53fd104c8d7f72a81c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
>> Identify your target audiences.
Who is your advocacy target? Who has the power to create the change you are seeking?
Who are the target audiences you seek to organize?
![Page 35: Best Practices to Build a Multichannel Campaign](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53fd104c8d7f72a81c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
>> List 3-4 different actions you want people to take.
These actions should start out as an easy action – such as signing an online petition or pledge. As the campaign unfolds and people take action, what additional actions can people
take to stay involved that requires more commitment.

>> Brainstorm ideas to promote this campaign across multiple channels.
What kind of content will you need? Does it already exist and can be edited and tailored for different channels? Or do
you need to create the content from scratch?
![Page 37: Best Practices to Build a Multichannel Campaign](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53fd104c8d7f72a81c8b4611/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
>> Identify the metrics you’ll use to evaluate the campaign.
What does success look like? How you will track metrics across different
online channels? What metrics can you use in real time to know if you’re on track?
