Power of Messaging Platforms
Project Timeline:
3 months.
The challenge:
Implementing the pre-paid messaging platform and utilizing it while staying within the confines of the law that explicitly prohibits sending messages to random phone numbers.
Goal:
Successful use of the messaging platform as a retargeting channel and a donor life cycle tool.
Our approach:
- We found a provider of in-app messages and implemented the platform.
- Added app opt-in to the donation form in order to collect numbers for further retargeting and communication.
- Implemented automatic "trigger message" for every unsuccessful initial or successive donation triggered by the error code received from the payment processor.
- Implemented Salesforce automated messages based on various stages of donor life cycle.
- Implemented regular campaigns for one off donors.
The result:
- 68 new CGs within the first 3 months.
- 106 reactivated donors (messages triggered by failed recurring donations within various stages of donor life cycle).
- CPA = $5
- Cost of reactivation = $2.95
