WE CREATE MESSAGES THAT ARE

Captivating.

You must stand out in some way to get noticed. There are millions of ads, letters, and communications out there. You must first catch your audience’s eye or ear. 


Clear.

The reader/viewer must understand it right away. A reader is not going to ponder what the ad might be saying. 

 

Concise.

Don’t try to put too much info in one message. If you get the reader to remember one thing from any communication, you have done a great job! 

 

Compelling.

You want your readers to do something to take action, after reading or viewing.

No, they didn’t win the lottery! No, they weren’t the beneficiaries of a donor’s large estate. No, they weren’t a college or university – they seem to be the only organizations to net those big numbers these days. It was a library located in a town of about 10,000 people. Who was it? The Waverly Public Library, Waverly Iowa. You could say they were fortunate, or lucky, or blessed. They would agree with you, but, as the fundraising consultant chosen to help them, 1Vision Communications would add a few more “secrets” to their success. They were… Prepared At least two years prior, they had conducted a user and community study. They knew what the “hot” (fundable, in our language) areas of their expansion would be. Their Foundation led the way by getting all other volunteers, staff, and leadership involved. Organized This group understood the need for an oversight committee and then let us help them structure the remaining committees to accomplish the work. The top leaders were excellent at gathering volunteers to step into roles, both larger and smaller. Humble They listened. It’s an often-overlooked attribute, but they knew they needed counsel, they sought it out, and they followed advice. While these people were seasoned professionals in their own categories, they hired a us to supplement – knowing any consultant fee would be made up quickly in more and larger grants and donations. Hard-working Maybe this could be said of all Midwesterners, but the WPL team was exceptional at being persistent, committed, industrious, and creative – especially as it had to do with major donor calls, grant-writing, and communications . These are things that could describe your nonprofit, too, as it considers a capital or endowment campaign. Let us help you succeed.

Some variation of the first phrase can be attributed to Henry Ford, Alcoholics Anonymous, or Tony Robbins. However, we often forget or ignore the second important part. I wish every nonprofit executive director would memorize that saying and apply it to their organization. It could be the single greatest piece of counsel around. If nonprofits could all break the shackles of tradition and habit, they might just experience a breakthrough. ‘If we drop that golf outing, could our time be spent more profitably somewhere else? What might happen if we asked our donors why they don’t give more? Maybe it would be helpful if we had a plan in place this year.’ The second component to this maxim is as important as the first. Common sense tells us outcome erosion occurs whenever we do the same thing over and over again. Repeated or continuous actions often result in generating decreasing returns; estimated here at a 15% year-over-year loss. Unless new twists can be added, it is reasonable to expect less, not more. Has your experience confirmed or exploded this “rule”? We’d love to hear your answers.

Good brands are about good branding, and a good brand logo is just a good start. The messaging on your materials and website, your customer service speed, accuracy, and attitude, your product, your invoice, or receipt language; those are the actions that do more long-term harm or good than a graphic. It’s what you put into a brand that truly matters.
