This is also much better from Zen ideas I’m all about helping non-profit organizations build their digital capacity now I want to talk about email marketing strategy for nonprofit organizations uh last week I received this email from my clients so this is an email about youth employment training program now the problem of this pro email is they just paste a jpeg image so it’s not even pdf file now this looks okay on the desktop but this youth program is for generation x it’s between 15 to 29 years old and most likely they’re going to be using mobile devices.
The role of email in building and maintaining relationships with donors and supporters
so when you look at using a mobile device it’s not easy to read so we got to fix that now I want to quickly uh go over the workflow and of email marketing so usually you send email blast and you create landing page so in this case uh their donation campaign and the landing page usually have some contact form so that they can register or sign up or download some Ebook or even purchase something and you can use social media or google as the drive to traffic to a landing page as well and then after the user register your form you should create some thank you
page as well so this is kind of basic uh workflow for email marketing so today’s focus is um so I’m going to show you how my client can fix the email so the email creating email template is super easy I mean I’m gonna be using constant contact and then creating landing page once again the landing page is pretty easy so let’s dive in okay so let’s redesign uh their email template here so so I’m using constant contact and and the left-hand side is that my client to send out and unfortunately this is jpeg so I cannot really copy and paste a text so so let’s say um actually I don’t really like um text size uh has to be at least 16.
Building a Solid Email List
so select that and then 16 here I like to be a little bigger actually it’s easier to read and then color to be the black so that’s probably good okay and then I’m gonna just put the fake text here so something like that and then make it bold here and as this matter maybe bigger here a little bit bigger all right and yeah so let’s add I’m going to just copy this and I’m going to just uh duplicate this section and then here I can just type who should put this date and again so I’m going to just uh put some fake text here double point
now let’s uh change there actually I Gotta go design here and then change black up here to actually maybe change that too it doesn’t have to be it doesn’t have to be a bold text okay I’m gonna just give uh extra space uh between the bullet and here the call to action uh once again um I mean you can change that color to your different branding color here if you want to so once again so you can change that here
Crafting Compelling Email Campaigns
so matching to your specific branding color all right and here’s the content so this is good and then you should have called action again like you gotta have like your logo and the sponsor’s logo as well and here’s a called action button here so i like to make it a little bit bigger um and then text should be um contact us today right and again so you can
add a web page so you should have a landing page with it

so that it fits in that one line all right yeah so you want to probably reduce back to maybe like 36 all right and then yeah that looks better so your template doesn’t have to be fancy you know the message just should be clear and then the most important part is you have a clear called action and you create the landing page for it okay
