It started with the 7 easy #donorlove principles we use to guide us in our work.
- You make your donor the hero.
- You share amazing and inspiring stories.
- You connect to your donors emotions and values.
- You work diligently to allow your donors to fall – and stay – in love with you.
- You ask for only one thing.
- You always consider who (or what) is the right voice for your story.
- You say thanks with passion.
The Godfather of Good, David Love, has been keeping up with some additions which I hope you will consider as part of your pursuit of #donorlove.
From Jeff Brooks:
8. You show them how they make a difference.
9. You design and write for their eyes and taste.
10. You have a plan for every one of them.
From Damian O’Broin:
11. You can’t have #donorlove without respect and consent.
12. You must remember, #donorlove is all of the small things, all the time, over time.
From the Godfather:
13. You must measure what matters.
14. You must be accountable and trustworthy.
15. You must take risks and be bold.
16. You must share your secrets with others.
Like #donorlove, this is meant to be a work in progress. I would love to hear your suggestions for additions or edits. Just tweet them to us or comment below please!
