DESCRIPTION
Want to directly influence your supporters’ behaviour? Give them an ongoing sense of belonging, helping them to feel part of something special, and you can. From fundraising and spreading the word to turning up and getting involved year-on-year, emotional experiences drive decision-making. Simple in theory, yet all too often charities leave their supporters feeling isolated by delivering process-driven supporter journeys, without due consideration for why people choose to support their valuable cause over thousands of others. With events and community fundraising major income generators for charities, it goes without saying that it is important to get this bit right. Charities need to deliver contact strategies that win (and keep) the hearts as well as minds of its supporters, in order to reap long term financial benefits.TRANSCRIPT

Charity events have come of age
• Significant growth in charity events over the last 10 years
– increasingly difficult to recruit committed givers led to increased investment in events
– Change in the desires of prospects
– Brand led charities
– Success of events (over 15-20% of the largest charities income) has led to smaller charities investing in events

But we face some serious challenges
• Commercial brands in our territory – Nike, Ben and Jerry’s, Red Bull, Innocent, Cadbury, Doritos
• BBC charity events
• Greater competition within the sector
• Evolving to reflect the desires of the ‘new’ generation of supporters Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Millennials

“Over the last 50 years the economic base has shifted from production to consumption. It has gravitated from the sphere of rationality to the realm of desire; from the objective to the subjective; to the realm of psychology”
New York Times February 2000
Success depend on understanding the world we work in

“If you could bottle the day’s experience you’d make a fortune. A unique balance of remembrance and
celebration.”

Process-driven journey lacking in emotional connection: dampening spirit of Race for Life brand

At what cost?
• Perceived as a once in a lifetime event: no need to take part every year
• Key barrier to entry (sponsorship) amplified
• Energy and excitement lost – significant effort (and cost) required to re-energise in following year
• Not addressing (industry) decline in sponsorship rates
• Lack of loyalty – limited protection against new competitors
![Page 23: Good bites on events 14 09 10 final](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/555328dfb4c905a7778b532e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Solution: inject emotion throughout Race for Life

And continue the
journey!

– Creating personal relationship between Race for Lifers and the brand
– Sense of loyalty
• Heightened motivation to fundraise, bring supporters, recruit, others
• Talkability!! – WOM key driver of recruitment
• Merchandising and sponsorship opportunities
• Brand extensions

– Donors transact, people have emotional desires
• From product to experience
– Products fulfil needs, experiences fulfil desires
• From identity to personality
– Identity of recognition, personality is character and charisma
• From communication to dialogue
– Communication is telling, dialogue is sharing
• From service to relationship
– Service is selling, relationship is acknowledgement and respect
