Why does my journey matter in terms of a ‘supporter journey’?
It’s made me the relationship fundraising, data-based geek that I am
(All essential components for someone embarking on a supporter journey programme)
And you can be one too!
Here’s how…
04/10/2023 Blackbaud Confidential 25
To build a supporter journey you need…knowledge.
This means you know• Who you are & what you want to do, eg WaterAid – safe water and
sanitation to the developing world• Your audiences – who is likely to be interested in your cause• Your supporters – how do audiences translate into supporters?• Your products – what do you have to offer to supporters• Your systems – what you have to make all this come together• Your people – supporter journeys don’t build themselves, and are
never sustainably built in silos.
04/10/2023 Blackbaud Confidential 26
With that knowledge you build your Supporter Journey…
…and the key thing to bear in mind is you are wanting to grow Joe Public from a casual browser of your wares to a fully fledged VIP Club member.
So how do I do that a my new job?
How do I put my own theory into practice?
04/10/2023 Blackbaud Confidential 27
Current Situation• 88 years campaigning on one main issue – hunting• Perception that our work is done – Hunting Act 2004• Heavily reliant on legacy income• Ageing database (see above!)• Primary aim is to campaign – action before money
Need to translate this into:• Varied message to sell to the public – cruel SPORTS not sport!• Easily packaged campaigns – RG products for sustainable income
streams• Robust case for support – don’t just campaign, GIVE.• Relationship fundraising – show impact, give thanks
04/10/2023 Blackbaud Confidential 28
In short I need to…
…turn heartland campaigners into heartland supporters. A well thought out and executed supporter journey can help you do that.
And as a bonus, analysing the supporter journey can help you refine it going forward, and provide valuable insight into who your supporters are, what they want – and how you can find more.
BUT none of this is possible without data, fundraising and communication products, supporting systems and engaged staff. All working to a wider fundraising strategy.
