How to Use Email to Promote a Local Fundraising


Before there was Facebook, email is the way to send our words for fundraising and it still a very effective tool to inform. A lot of infomercials are still using emails and the trend will like to continue in the years to come. Here’s how you can use email to send the word out:

1.  Design the flow of mails - You don’t just send the mails blindly, it has to follow a design flow. For example, you can start with a request, then you follow it up with supporting quotes and related client’s story. You can then send a third mail encouraging people to donate and a fourth, thanking them.

2.  Build an subscriber list - We have put together an article detailing the importance of a quality subscriber list. If the list is not qualified, you cannot expect a good performance.

3.  Create an effective email - When writing an email for fundraising, make sure that you fill in the necessary details but don’t make it too verbose that the recipient will be tempted to delete it.

4.  Choose the best broadcast tool - This is the caveat of email; without a good broadcast tool, you will be sending it one by one or you can cc it to everybody in the list. A broadcast tool will make the job a lot easier because it can send thousands of emails at once.

When creating a charity event, your goal should be to minimize the overall expenses so that all the proceeds raised will go directly to the charity. Using Facebook and email accomplished just this so if you haven’t done it yet, you better start now. Click HERE to know more.

Be a Winner with an Email Campaign


With so much talk about, and emphasis on, Internet Marketing business people often concentrate on only one thing: having all of their communications with clients and prospective clients be Economically Driven. There is another aspect of Marketing to consider, however, and that is the development of an E-Mail Campaign where the end result is nothing more than sharing Enduring Tips with the reader.

The experts at Pathmaker Marketing LLC have discovered that an E-Mail Campaign that provides Valuable Information for the reader to consider helps to add both breadth and depth to a company’s relationship with its clients. One of the more successful formats to use for this campaign is a "How To” program.

Depending on what your business is, the E-Mail Campaign can provide new information to the reader, or simply serve to confirm what they may already know. For example, if you own a Sporting Good’s Store, a ten-part Campaign entitled "10 Steps to Tying Flies that Trout Can’t Resist” would be most beneficial to fly fisherman. Written properly, individuals on your mailing list will look forward to receiving each new installment!

To learn how you and your Company can benefit from an E-Mail Campaign designed especially for your business, contact Pathmaker Marketing LLC to schedule a private phone conversation with CEO Randall Mains as quickly as possible. After all, you want to reach everyone in your community!

Understanding the Importance of Winnable Keywords


To understand the importance of winnable keywords, think of gaining  page-one rankings as a large lemon tree. Typically, a lemon tree has three levels of fruits: Those which are on the low hanging branches and are readily attainable; those on the middle branches, which you might be able to harvest but it will take considerable more effort and those on the very top branches which are, for all intent and purposes, unattainable.


The task of Targeting Winnable Keywords is an Eight Step Process, which includes but is not limited to:

ID Your Target Terms
Locate Variations on those terms
Acquire the CPC and Global Volume Numbers for your Terms
Look for terms under $2.50 and under 2500 in Volume.
Everyone's Blog needs are uniquely different. That's why we design and install Compendium to meet your unique needs.

Reasons for Digital Outreach


Understandably, the first question that might come to mind is, “Why should we add a Digital Outreach to our church?”  Well, there are a host of reasons you might want to pursue new ideas for outreach, and the reasons for Digital Outreach are indicated below:

1. You will have the ability to reach out beyond the confines of your church to a greater, broader community.

2. If your church currently ‘serves” those in a ten mile radius, your Digital Ministry can go nationwide, or even international 

3. It will allow you to better fill the Great Commission, per Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.”

4. Allow you a way of ministering to a vast mission field!


After wondering “why” to go Digital, the next natural concern is “what to do” to go Digital. You may want to establish a Digital Outreach Team, which will coordinate with those in charge of creating other ideas for church outreach.  Together, they can create a plan to implement all your outreach ministry ideas. 

Now, learn how to add a digital outreach to your church by visiting Pathmaker Marketing

Top 3 E-mail Fundraising Strategies


   I.       E-MAILS TIED TO CURRENT EVENTS - This is pretty self-explanatory.  What you need to do is keep abreast with the news and develops an email campaign that revolves around what is transpiring.  This, of course, is dependent on the fact that your cause is one that is news worthy.  A good example of this might be if you are part of a Tornado Relief Fund.  During Tornado Season there are ample news stories for you to mount a most effective e-mail program around. 

   II.       MONTHLY “THEMED” E-MAIL CAMPAIGNS - Virtually every month has a holiday or event that you can “build” an e-mail fundraising campaign around.  For example, May lends itself to two causes:  Unwed Mothers and Veterans.  Mother’s Day allows you to touch people’s heartstrings regarding those moms who have no one to help care for them and their needs, and Memorial Day is a “natural” for seeking aid for our War Veterans. 

   III.      DIRECT MAIL/E-MAIL COMBO - E-Mail Marketing Firms will tell you that the advent of an email marketing campaign should not be the demise of other fundraisers that have worked for you in the past.  In this instance, you should come up with a Direct Mail offer and send it out.  Then, some seven to ten days later you follow up with an e-mail version of the same offer.  Together these allow you to really enhance the chance of success of your fundraising efforts. 

These are just 3 of the 5 Essential Email Fundraising Strategies. Learn more by visiting, Pathmaker Marketing

What Is SEO?


The confusion in this realm is the fact that Visitors come to your Site for Free, but the competitive nature of SEO mandates thatyou either hire professionals to achieve the Rankings you desire, or that you plan on investing huge amounts of time and energy to accomplish SEO to your satisfaction!

The myths aside, SEO can be a tremendous boon to the success of your business. If you are running a Mexican Restaurant, for example, and through your SEO Program you attain a #1 ranking on a Google Search you will get a lot of click throughs! These will, of course, greatly enhance the chance of your business succeeding!

Understanding that any business has hundreds, if not thousands, of words related to them, your goal is to make sure that your company shows up for as many of these words as possible when a potential client is searching them, and that is wherePathmaker Marketing LLC can be most helpful. Utilizing our knowledge and skill, we can conduct a Keyword Research Program that will place you in a position to score high in a number of "Winnable Words."

While the Internet is evolving daily, SEARCH ENGINES is one of the two items that tends to remain constant. Being well positioned allows people to discover exactly what it is that your company has to offer. To better understand this concept, consider the Internet a Super Highway with millions of people zooming along it every day. Your SEO Program serves as a Billboard, advising them of what awaits if they will take the "proper exit" and wind up at your place! Unless they can find you, however, they will always be "potential clients" and never "your clients!" If you aren't showing up in Searches, you don't have a Billboard!!!The first step is to conduct a Keyword Research Program, which will allow you to have a Website that is Optimized!

In regard to your SEO Program the bottom line is this-you either have to hire someone who does this for a living to do it for you, oryou have to spend weeks and months learning how to do it yourself. Pathmaker Marketing LLC is, without a doubt, the leading choice for developing a SEO Program for you! Don't hesitate any longer, contact Pathmaker Marketing LLC and let us help you build your Billboard!
