13. Annual Appeal Timing Adjustments
In response to your feedback, the Annual Appeal is moving to February!
Many of you expressed concerns about soliciting Annual Appeal gifts and Move for the Kids participation during the same time period
Some felt too many people are away during the summer and that it could hurt response
Better timing to use as a follow-up ask for prospects who did not attend or give to the Fashion Show in the fall
Original timing in May worked better for you?
That’s okay too! We are happy to work with you on a case-by-case basis to identify and accommodate the best strategies for your prospects.
