Because of that, it\u2019s a great opportunity to encourage contributions as part of your supporters\u2019 year-end and holiday giving. But it\u2019s not enough to have a great Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/giving-tuesday-tips-donor-retention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To retain donors after the day ends<\/a>, you need great thank-you messaging. In this article, we\u2019ll show you how to craft a Giving Tuesday thank-you strategy that will keep donors engaged in the new year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Giving Tuesday, and Why Does it Matter?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving Tuesday is a worldwide giving day that takes place annually on the Tuesday after American Thanksgiving. Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become one of the most popular and well-known giving days in the world. Because of the timeliness and popularity of the giving day, it can do a lot to boost your end-of-year fundraising and reach donors who haven\u2019t engaged with your mission before. When Giving Tuesday is over, however, you may never hear from some of those donors again. That\u2019s why effective thank-you messaging is so important. A good thank you can keep new donors engaged and remind long-term supporters why they should continue to support your mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Thank Your Giving Tuesday Donors&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Giving Tuesday thank-you strategy should be a multistep approach, which means thanking donors at several key moments. Depending on your broader communication strategy, you may not need to use all of these types of thank yous. But each one can help you connect with donors in different ways.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Receipts&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first post-donation contact you\u2019ll have with your donors is through your donation receipt. Make sure you\u2019ve customized your receipts with a special thank you for Giving Tuesday.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any donation receipt, make sure to include all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/anatomy-of-a-great-donation-receipt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">standard receipt elements,<\/a> but add messaging that\u2019s specific to Giving Tuesday. Consider unique imagery and graphics. And remember to call out the time of year and the added value of gifts made during the holiday season.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Media Shout-Outs&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Giving Tuesday is just one day, it\u2019s important to stay connected with supporters in the moment. Social media is a great way to keep supporters up-to-date with your campaign and make appeals throughout the day. It\u2019s also an opportunity to make donors feel special by thanking them in a public forum. Shouting out specific donors not only makes those donors feel special but the public recognition can also encourage others to give.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Text Messages&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your fundraising platform offers text fundraising, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/text-giving-campaign-for-giving-tuesday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can reach out to donors directly via their mobile devices<\/a>. Text messages are very personal and allow you to thank donors immediately after they give. Keep in mind, though, that many users are protective of their mobile space, so don&#8217;t overuse text messaging. Keep your text thank-you messages direct and to-the-point, and make them as personal as possible to maximize their effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow-up messages with impact and results&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Giving Tuesday is over, you need to share how much you raised and thank donors again for contributing. We all love to know that we\u2019ve made a difference. Aim to send a thank-you update a day or two after Giving Tuesday that includes the final tally of donations and the impact the gifts will have. Bonus points if you reached a specific goal that you can praise donors for helping you achieve!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-holiday wrap-up &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure your donors keep you in mind in the new year, one more thank-you a month or so after Giving Tuesday can be beneficial. After the holidays, take a moment to share all you accomplished in the previous year thanks to your donors. Remind them how their Giving Tuesday contribution impacted your overall success for the year and give them a preview of what you plan to accomplish in the coming year. This is also a good time to ask donors for their continued support and to remind them how important they are to you and your mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving Tuesday Thank You Tips and Examples&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what kinds of thank-you messages you might want to send, here are some tips for crafting those messages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeliness&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, make them timely. Your Giving Tuesday thank-yous should be specific to Giving Tuesday. Think about why this day and time of year are so important. Many people and organizations struggle during the holidays, and this time of year is often associated with generosity and helping others. Emphasize to donors how their gift will help <em>now<\/em> and explain why giving during this time of year is so important.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Showing impact is one of the most effective ways to make donors feel like they\u2019re making a difference. Where possible, include stories and images that show the real-life impact donors are having on your mission. Make sure to keep the focus on what the <em>donors<\/em> are doing, rather than what <em>you<\/em> and your organization are doing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can, include testimonials or thank-you messages from beneficiaries of donors\u2019 gifts. And in your later follow-ups, broaden your impact statements to include the previous year and future goals for the coming year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invite Donors to Stay Involved&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can boost retention by using your thank-you and follow-up messaging to offer donors ways to stay involved with your organization. Link them to your social media channels and ask them to like your pages. Invite them to subscribe to your newsletter or join an exclusive group for donors. Show your appreciation by making them feel like part of the \u201cfamily,\u201d and help them stay up-to-date with your organization to keep them engaged. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Creative&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanking your donors with words is always appreciated, but to really make your gratitude stand out, consider creative ways to say \u201cthank you.\u201d If you have the time and resources, a thank-you video is fun and can touch donors\u2019 emotions more effectively than still images. You might also consider small gifts or awards for extra special donors. If you can tie it back to Giving Tuesday and end-of-year giving, even better! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/creative-ways-to-thank-your-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Ways to Thank Your Donors<\/a> for more ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Few Examples We Love&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out some examples from Qgiv clients who thanked donors via email, on their donation forms, and on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-drop-shadow wp-rounded-corners text-center text-smaller\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bonnet-Springs-CTA-Email-with-Thank-You.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bonnet-Springs-CTA-Email-with-Thank-You.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of an email from Bonnet Spring Park reminding recipients that there are only five hours left in Giving Tuesday and thanking donors for their support.
