Race Multi-Channel Tactics
 Develop email communication strategy based on segmentation
of file
 Utilize Race site to house specific information through multiple
tabs such as FAQ, Team Challenge, etc.
 Provide templates for peer to peer fundraising channels
 Utilize social media channels
 Check data points often (emails sent, donations, etc.) and
tweak plan as needed
 Use source codes to capture results per channel
 Offer donor channel preference – online vs. offline.
 Set clear goals and align your plan to support these goals

End of Year Appeal Tactics
 Use multiple channels to increase response
 We designed a print and email campaign that highlighted the
need within the community for breast health services and
focused on the son of a survivor
 Mail piece went out in early December to a segment of offline
donors
 Email to corresponding segment of online donors
 Three follow up emails counting down to Dec 31
 Donors who responded were removed from list
 Message was modified to focus on tax benefits
 A pop-up promotion window on Komen Maryland site

An Added Element – The National Office
▸ Komen National has their own marketing campaigns that go
out nationally – meaning there is some overlap between local
and National
▸ Their campaigns consist mostly of direct mail pieces and
emails
▸ In order to differentiate us from National – we continually make
sure that our templates and print materials are branded with
Komen Maryland specific logos and info
▸ We also try not to disseminate anything if we know it will
coincide with something from National
▸ We also make sure to highlight the donation breakdown
that 75% of funds raised stay within the Komen Maryland
service area and 25% is sent to National.
