Fundraising / Development Planning:
The Conquest team has years of experience in fundraising and development
for campaigns and institutions. Let us put that experience to work
for you. We can help you create an integrated finance operation
that takes advantage of all available funding sources.
Our team is always looking for creative solutions to our clients’ fundraising
challenges. We firmly believe
that no two problems can be solved in the exact same way. While
there might be techniques to employ,
the actual best solution must
be customized to suit the particular needs of the organization.
That is why our first step in designing
a fundraising plan includes extensive
consultation with our client to best understand goals, objectives,
and the historical successes
and failures of their fundraising
efforts.
Our associates are actively involved in all four phases of direct
contact fundraising:
- List Acquisition: We provide consultation and will assist in
the purchase of lists for prospecting efforts. Our Data Management
Department can provide valuable assistance in cleaning and organizing
your current member/donor database, so that you are getting the
maximum dollars from your supporters.
- Method: Deciding how to communicate with current and potential
donors is critical to success of your fundraising effort. Conquest
will develop several methods of contact and design a program
which will allow these methods to be tested, determining the
best, most cost efficient communication mode for each segment
of your list.
- Presentation: The method you choose to communicate is second
only to the message you are delivering. From tele-fundraising
scripts at the low dollar level, to high dollar personal appeals,
direct mail copy, or even email appeals, Conquest will work with
your organization to develop a consistent, effective message
that conveys both your philosophical and financial goals.
- Follow up: Conquest can assist in the design and implementation
of follow up mail for tele-fundraising, direct mail with phone
follow up, lapsed donor reactivation, or even “thank you” programs.
We recognize the importance of insuring that new donors are not
lost and current donors stay well connected with the organization.
Some of the fundraising vehicles available are:
Tele-Fundraising
Conquest’s state-of-the-art predictive dialing facility
provides you with the tools you need to increase your pledge
and fulfillment
rates, including on demand personalized emails that can provide
forms, web links, or other additional information to your donors.
And with Conquest's
Performance Pricing Program, you won't pay
as much
for a refusal
as you
pay for
a confirmed
pledge. All
pledges are confirmed on our system voice recorder for 100% accurate
verification. Performance Pricing allows you to afford prospecting,
even in a difficult climate. Conquest’s high quality agents
and services take care of the rest!
Phone Follow-up to Direct Mail
Conquest can supercharge your direct mail fundraising. Our
mail and phones in tandem program generates brief follow-up
phone
calls to your direct mail recipients the day after your mail “hit
date.” In test cases, clients have seen dramatic increases
in both response and average contributions.
