Segmenting Alumni Appeals by Generation

Recorded On: 08/18/2020

OVERVIEW

"One-size-fits-all” alumni appeals tend to fall short, which is why segmentation is a valuable tool for dividing alumni groups and messages for maximum impact. With the ever-increasing number of communications hitting mailboxes and inboxes, customizing messages to reflect generational tendencies and motivations can be an effective segmentation technique to ensure that solicitations stand out. By implementing approaches tailored to generational interests and behaviors, your appeals will be more likely to capture donor attention and help meet fundraising goals.
