If you’re hoping to raise money from Boomers (and you’d better be doing that!) — here are some thoughts from the Engage:Boomers blog: New Branding Rules.
Check out these hints for connecting with the demographic group that will soon (if not already) dominate the ranks of your donors:
- I’m not a stereotype. (Don’t treat them as a generation. They think of themselves as individuals.)
- Help me first. (Show them what’s in it for them.)
- Embrace the basics. (Clarity, urgency, and emotion win every time.)
- Make me feel good about myself. (Charitable giving is the ultimate feel-good action. Remind them!)
- Involve me in the solution.
