What is the difference between marketing and fundraising?
Effective marketing convinces people they want or need a product or service while effective fundraising convinces individuals that other people need their products or services.
Is a fundraising video really all that different?
Creating an effective fundraising video is a detailed process requiring specific elements that even many seasoned fundraisers and development directors overlook. Ask about our 15 Point Analysis that helps our non-profit clients fundraise, on average, 25% more.
What about DIY video?
Do it yourself video, or user generated video, can help your campaign, but studies show professional video is more effective. Also, many companies big and small underestimate the complexity and significant time it takes to create quality video. Even large organizations that have video savvy employees or departments can be overwhelmed with the other media and marketing projects, often delaying increased profits from video by months and even years.
Working with Nikia and Charles was a great experience. They helped us tell a complicated story in a compelling and clear way! The investment has more than paid off, not only did they help capture the success of our project through film, they created a compelling reason for our funders to REINVEST …and they did!!!
