“Reactivation is cheaper than acquisition”

“It costs less to reactivate a lapsed donor than to acquire a new one. Email can be effective, but multi-channel approaches are even better. We did this with Focus and saw great results for them.”

“Share helped us convert”

“Share helped us test simplified + focused messaging that improved our conversion rates. Additionally, paid display ad retargeting was successful, and the recurring giving pop-up brought us almost 100 new monthly gifts. We’ve continued to see success with both of these strategies in other campaign efforts.”

“If I was actually doing this project, it would have taken me half a year, and  Share was able to do it in a couple of months. And that’s something we wouldn’t have been able to do with our small staff.”
