Ever invited supporters to a “Telephone Town Hall”? Used a “Hustle Bank” to simultaneously have hundreds or thousands of personal, one-to-one SMS conversations? Delivered a regular giving program via text or used WhatsApp to mobilise supporters? Increased engagement or thanked supporters via radio-quality phone messages?
We will bring examples from the UK, Canada and the US of non-traditional phone and smartphone technologies that increase engagement and donations. Phones are not just a direct ask channel, but also a tool for engagement, mobilisation and relationship building.
As we explore these techniques and tools, we will look at when and how they can be deployed across the supporter journey and relationship, as well as how phone is being integrated with other channels to maximise impact and engagement.
