Don't panic! It's not too late to plan and execute an effective year-end direct mail appeal. While many nonprofit efforts are transitioning to digital means, direct mail remains a valuable resource for nonprofits. Direct mail is a method proven to have a significantly higher return on investment than trending digital methods—with response rates that are often 10x higher than those of digital marketing.

This class is for you if:

• You'd never done a direct mail campaign before.
• You have some experience with direct mail but want to compare notes.
• You want to increase your chances of a successful campaign.

This class is online; link will be sent with registration acknowledgement. This class may be recorded.
