Micro-donations

Hi Amalia,

At a previous organisation, we did the same thing with overwhelming success- we were lucky in that the ask amount was tied into an anniversary campaign, so we didn’t have to spend ages thinking of the appropriate level.  We had it as an opt-out online, and I don’t remember ever having any complaints about it.   Phone bookings were a bit trickier, but advisors came up with some great strategies for getting the customer to donate *something*.  Feel free to contact me directly if you want to have a chat… 

Cheers,

Kathleen

Subject: [Tessitura Development Forum] Micro-donations

Hello,

At The Australian Ballet we're looking to introduce micro-donations with online ticket orders, eg. a $2 donation automatically added to each order which the user has the option to remove or update.

I know other organisations have done this, and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share a few things;

1. how did you determine how much was an appropriate ask?

2. what have your success rates been like?

3. any negative customer feedback?

4. how do you deal with phone/in person bookings, the same ask?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Amalia
