About CPA and cause CP
Don’t think you can’t do some of this stuff!
CP isn’t sexy
CP isn’t well known
Disability is thought of as ‘all ok’
Looked after by the government
![Page 5: Marcus Blease Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559f787c1a28abab5c8b460e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
About CPA and cause CP
You can do it with....
Leadership = Doing the right things
Management = doing things right

What is Integrated Fundraising?
Multi channel marketing
Cross media marketing
Cross channel marketing
Multi channel communications
It’s not new, but there are some new channels and ways for rich content and engagement
![Page 8: Marcus Blease Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559f787c1a28abab5c8b460e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How the commercial sector views it
• According to a 2007 Ipsos US survey, 67% of the online population is driven by offline messages to perform online searches for more information on a company, service or product
• 39% of those respondents then make a purchase
• Integrated media outperforms and generates better results than any one medium alone
![Page 9: Marcus Blease Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042817/559f787c1a28abab5c8b460e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Implications for charities
Bottom line
We’ve already seen big changes with events
We’ve already seen adoption of social media
We’ve seen ideas for great engagement tactics with rich content
We will see big changes in DM giving patterns
But we aren’t there yet.....

Rather than a re-brand campaign – we did a donor acquisition campaign

Integration – outcomes• Created a richer more engaging campaign
• Increased the impact of the message
• Anecdotal feedback from phone agents extremely positive
• Reached a larger audience than mail/phone alone
• Can’t prove multi channel increased results until we do a campaign without some integration
• Greater chance of 2nd gift?

Acquisition Case Study
Integration – much of a difference?
• From a digital perspective – no in terms of $
• 136 (2%) went online to donate following mail
• 1045 viewed the detailed video’s online
• Increased response rate 3.9% vs. 2.5% month after it stopped
• It’s not all about dollars. New mediums won’t immediately generate revenue.
• But keep it in perspective vs. your time....

Events online • Cultural change in Australia around ‘sponsorship’
• Made event fundraising easy for participant
• Easy for charities with 3rd party sites
• Dramatic increases with event fundraising

Closing....
Donors behave in multitude of ways and have differing giving and communication preferences. Integrated

this need and offers greater richness.
It is vital the sector takes advantage of new technology so we don’t just speak to donors but interact with
