TAKEAWAYS FROM NONPROFIT CAMPAIGNS
- The nonprofit sector has one of the least amount of conversions that happen in over 90 days. This means most people are making their decision about donations in the 1-90 day mark, unlike other verticals.
- Large increases in brand/name recognition results in more phone calls and contributions.
- Audio tends to be the most expensive cost per conversion for non-profits, but does better as a support added to a healthy display and video campaign strategy.
PROGRAMMATIC IN MOTION
Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization (ACSTO), a nonprofit company needed help growing their donor base. With “traditional” marketing not achieving their desired results, ACSTO looked to Genius Monkey to help expand to the programmatic digital space.
Knowing ACSTO worked with an 8% budget, Genius Monkey was up for the challenge. For a nonprofit, any money spent on marketing can feel risky at first, so Genius Monkey worked within their budget to bring them amazing results that they could take back to their Director. Genius Monkey ran display ads and introduced them to their Client Dashboard, where they could see how ad spend was being used in real-time.
Amy Hawkinson, CFO and Assistant Executive Director, said that Genius Monkey has brought nothing but great results, and she has no regrets making this leap of faith. In just 4 months, ACSTO saw a 200% increase in visitors to their donor portal. And after 2 years, and additional 70% increase. Donation growth was no different as 2021 saw a 24.5%.
