How DonorPerfect Fundraisers Improve Their Email Fundraising Using Avid

There are a million and one email tools—each with their own sets of pros and cons.

Some are better at automations. Others are better at building lists, segmentation, or email design.

DonorPerfect integrates with ConstantContact out of the box. For fundraisers sending basic email communications, this is usually sufficient.

But what if you need a more advanced email tool like Mailchimp? Kit? Or even HubSpot?

Avid + DonorPerfect lets you use whichever email tool you like—with full access to all your DonorPerfect data to build targeting lists and automate your donor communications.

The Problem:
Your Donor Data is Stuck Inside of DonorPerfect

Many nonprofit teams looking to level up their email communications will bring on a more advanced tool like Mailchimp, Kit, or even HubSpot.

The common problem: donor data is stuck in your CRM.

This is not a unique challenge with DonorPerfect. This is a problem nearly every fundraiser faces with their CRM.

Some nonprofits end up sending all their marketing emails and newsletters from a more advanced tool.

But their fundraising emails are stuck.

In the case of DonorPerfect, your fundraising emails are stuck in ConstantContact.

When your fundraising emails are stuck in a limited email tool, you risk:

  1. Sending impersonal emails
  2. Missing automation opportunities that drive donor engagement
  3. Poor list hygiene that suppresses deliverability
  4. Limited customization that can drive fundraising growth

The Opportunity:
Donors Expect a Personalized Email Experience

In modern fundraising, donors expect that you know them.

They expect your communications to address them personally. To understand their interests. To engage them in a timely, relevant manner.

When your donor data is stuck in your CRM and your email tools are limited, you put your donor relationships at risk.

There are many proven tactics to increase email engagement and donations that are nearly impossible when your donor data is stuck in your CRM:

  1. Triggering an automated, personal, and customized new donor welcome series.
  2. Asking donors for custom donation amounts based on their giving history.
  3. Sending tailored cultivation emails based on a donor’s content preferences.
  4. Including custom calls-to-action based on a donor’s lifecycle stage.

The list goes on and on.
