Our Process
-
Step 1 – Conduct a Comprehensive AuditList Item 1
The audit will look at Diocesan outcomes of your Bishop's annual appeal for the past 3-5 years that will inform the development of a direct mail process along with the integration of appropriate digital communication tools. The goal here is to understand historical donor information, assess donor segments and identify opportunities to make informed decisions in your next campaign.

Step 2 – Develop a Customized SolutionList Item 2
Each solution is created to meet the specific needs of your Diocese in order to help you:
- Increase campaign revenue and participation
- Foster a sustainable model for consistency and growth
The key is using the data intelligence in order to make a more informed ask, use of donor relevant messaging and/or graphics, etc. In addition to using the donor name, we can systematically include specific increased donor amounts based on past giving history.
