Four-mail donor stewardship campaign

One organization's campaign, in detail.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center offers one detailed example of Postalgia’s work. Before making another appeal, the organization wanted to rebuild its connection with more than 10,000 lapsed donors. Postalgia helped develop a four-mail campaign that began with a double-sided newsletter, reply envelope and pledge card, handwritten outer envelope, and handwritten message from the executive director.

01
Fewer than 2,000 people received that first mailing. The published case study reports:
53
donations totaling $8,106
3
monthly pledges totaling a further $900 for the year
264%
reported return on a $2,500 mailing cost
05
This was one campaign for one organization. Its results do not predict what another campaign will achieve.
