At McQueenie Mulholland we specialise in marketing and communications for charities, from local to national organisations.

As a small, local charity it is just as vital that you have a successful communications strategy as bigger organisations.

Communicating effectively with your donors helps create strong, lasting relationships and enables conversions from first-time donors into regular givers. But before you start your communications strategy there are some key factors which need to be identified:

• Target audience – segment into groups to diversify communication needs and wants – think stakeholders, regular donors, new donors…

• What you want to achieve – do you want to increase the number of monthly donors? Increase the average donation amount?

• Key communication methods – how do you want to communicate with people? And how often do you want to communicate through each channel?

• Key messages – Identify the key messages for each audience group that you have identified – different audience groups will want to find out about different things – what key messages are you going to communicate to each?

• What does success look like? –  It’s important to set out right from the start what success looks like to your organisation.

At McQueenie Mulholland we understand how important a successful communications strategy is and we work closely with our clients to identify exactly what they want to accomplish and develop a plan to help them achieve it.
