#321- Why Your Email Strategy Impacts Fundraising
If you’ve ever been frustrated by email newsletters that fall flat (or even worse, end up in the dreaded unsubscribe pile, this episode of Nonprofit Lowdown is for YOU! 💡
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 10 most common email newsletter mistakes I see nonprofits making—and how to FIX them! ✨
🔑 Highlights include:
Too long? Simplify and cut the clutter!
Is it relevant to me? Answer the “What’s in it for me?” question!
Not frequent enough? Don’t be afraid to email regularly—value > frequency.
Bad subject lines? Your subject line is your first impression. Make it count!
Too organizational-centric? Think about your audience’s needs, not just your own.
Not checking your stats? Track click-throughs, replies & real engagement—not just open rates.
Dirty email list? Time for a clean-up to ensure you're reaching the right people!
Too many CTAs? Focus on ONE clear action per email.
Too fancy? Keep it simple—clean and readable > over-designed.
Boring content? Inject personality and a strong point of view! Be remarkable, not beige!
