Friday, OCTOBER 4, 11:30 A.M. – 12:30 P.M.

Foundational

Planned giving pages on your organization’s web site are a basic marketing tool. However, visits to those pages typically represent less than 1% of all activity on your site. Where do visitors go when they leave the planned giving site? Your top prospects are actively checking on projects, reading blogs, researching scholarship opportunities or viewing sports scores. Tracking traffic across all pages on your site allows you to identify prospects who are 20x more likely to document an estate gift. Your challenge is to find a way to deliver the planned giving message on the pages your most passionate donors visit regularly.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify the online behaviors that indicate planned giving intent.
  2. Target real-time planned giving messaging on every page of your website.
  3. Measure user behaviors on non-advancement pages to gain critical insights into individual points of affinity.
