Bolster Fundraising Efforts with Mobile Messaging Campaigns

Now more than ever, it's crucial for NGOs to adopt mobile messaging practices to effectively communicate with their supporters and donors. With an astonishing 5 billion people using mobile devices worldwide, SMS has emerged as an essential marketing channel, boasting unprecedented open and response rates compared to email and other digital platforms.   

With people constantly connected to their phones, mobile messaging offers instant communication at the perfect time and place— right at your audience's fingertips. It also enables personalised communication, keeping your stakeholders engaged and ensuring high readability. Additionally, sending bulk texts makes it easier and more cost-effective to reach a larger audience quickly. 

With so many messaging platforms to choose from—SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, social media, and more—here are some key benefits that Cymba offer and how they can enhance your fundraising efforts. 

Personalisation

Personalisation is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. Building a personal connection allows you to create relevancy, enhance supporter satisfaction, and ultimately boost conversion rates. Additionally, the ability to segment donor lists enables more targeted messaging, whether addressing new donors, recurring supporters, or major gift prospects. 

Creating compelling campaigns

We're all familiar with the saying "a picture paints a thousand words." This rings especially true when reaching out to potential donors, particularly younger generations who are predominantly mobile-first. Rich text messaging (RCS), now facilitated by apps like WhatsApp, allows for emotional connections with potential donors through the use of images and videos. These visuals vividly illustrate the impact of donations, making the message more compelling and engaging. 

Simplified donation processes

Simplicity is paramount when it comes to making that all-important donation. Now, it's easier and quicker than ever before. There's no need for people to land on your website; simply include a direct link to mobile-friendly donation pages in your messages. Ensure these messages come from a recognizable, reputable business page, featuring your logo for added trust. Alternatively, utilise text-to-donate services. Whether your charity is fundraising on TV, online, social media, or print, making a donation to your cause is as easy as sending a text.
