10 ways to squeeze more out of your fundraising page
Tell a story - Take every opportunity to tell people why you’re doing what you’re doing. Keep people coming back - Treat your Virgin Money Giving
page like a blog - add photos and updates whenever you can.
Make it personal - Tailor your emails and text messages asking for sponsorship - and don’t forget to send out thank you messages afterwards.
Start close to home - Ask your closest (and most generous) friends and family to sponsor you first - you may find other people match their donations.
Talk to your charity - They might be able to give you stuff to use on your page or on letters, flyers and posters promoting your event.
Get Gift Aid - Encourage your sponsors to give Gift Aid - it adds money to their donations without costing them any more.
Don’t leave your fundraising at home - Promote your fundraising around work or school - use posters, flyers, message boards and the intranet.
Spread the word using social media - Sites like Facebook and Twitter are free, easy to use and reach a large audience.
It’s never too late - Keep asking people to sponsor you, even after you’ve finished your event.
Don’t forget to customise your Virgin Money Giving page:
- Add the photo gallery feature and share snaps of your fundraising.
- Personalise your page with your own content and links.
