A disturbingly high percentage of would-be donors who arrive on a giving page leave without giving.
Why do they do that?
One possibility is the page doesn’t do a good job of keeping them on task, unconfused, and still happy about giving.
Here are some things you can do to improve the performance of your giving pages, from the Techsoup blog, at 10 Ways to Improve Your Donation Page and Raise More Money:
- Start with a Strong Headline
- Display Powerful Images
- Clear Away Navigation Items at Top and Bottom
- Offer Multiple Giving Options (one-time, monthly, gifts in honor, and gifts of stock; also give payment options, such as credit card brands, Paypal, and checking account debits.)
- Offer Monthly Giving as a Clear Option
- Display Security and Trust Seals
- Anticipate Multiple Screen Sizes
- Display a Colorful, Eye-catching Donate Button
- Use Easy-to-Read Font Sizes and Colors
