Legacy Marketing Across the Consideration Continuum

Tracy Malloy-Curtis

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 10:00 – 11:00 A.M.

Intermediate

In order to compete for legacy gifts, organizations need to invest in multichannel legacy gift marketing. Many planned giving professionals don’t have the experience—or the time—to focus on the evidence-based direct marketing tools needed to take donors through the legacy gift consideration continuum. This session will help close that gap by analyzing examples of marketing and fundraising campaigns that integrate the fundraising message across different channels from direct mail, to email, to the organization's website, telephone, and social media. We will share artwork and results for actual campaigns, including organizations with both large and small budgets. Examples will illustrate best practices in legacy gift marketing across the consideration continuum, including donor identification, conversion of prospects from the consideration or intention stage to gift completion, and donor stewardship and cultivation.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the new paradigms of legacy gift marketing.
  2. Learn the evidence-based direct marketing tactics that underpin a successful legacy marketing program.
  3. Come away with actionable steps and specific examples to guide the process.
