Why Telefunding and Phone Based Marketing?
Key to the health of any performing arts organization is broad based
support from individuals and businesses alike. Finding and cultivating
broad based support and maintaining a healthy subscription base requires
a variety of development and marketing tools including direct mail,
volunteer solicitations and special events. But because everyone cannot
and will not be effectively reached by these means, telefunding and
phone based marketing allows organizations to reach the maximum number
of prospects possible. In fact, our lead penetration rate is more
than 90%!
Unlike direct mail, telefunding and phone based marketing allows
the organizations message to be tailored to each individual
prospect. TAYLARs fundraisers and marketers listen
very carefully to responses they encounter and can immediately
adjust their message to increase the chances of receiving a positive
response. Questions can be answered and objections can be overcome.
In turn, response rates are many times greater than those achieved
by even the most well written and timed direct mail piece. Telefunding
secures a higher average gift from new donors and greater donor
retention and increases from renewal donors. Our phone based marketing
programs secure significantly higher subscription renewal rates
and new subscriptions than direct mail alone.
Because phone based fundraising and marketing is more flexible
and reaches more of your patrons, being on the phone can also work
simultaneously as a public relations tool. Have something you want
your donors to know? Want to clear up misconceptions or clarify
something? The right telefunding and marketing firm will work with
your organization to get your message out to the maximum number
of people in the most personal way - human to human contact.
