Keep your donors in good spirits

I heart holidays. Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, National Donut Day (yep, that’s a real one), I love ’em all. Why? Because it’s another excuse to go card shopping! Holidays are the perfect time to send happy mail.

A few years back, I started a Halloween-themed 5K for my organization, and my favorite stewardship activity was sending Halloween cards to our event sponsors. Because who sends Halloween cards? No one. Talk about a ghoulishly-great opportunity to stand out!

So for funsies, I thought I’d share a selection of cards I’m mailing to donors this year. And in case you’re wondering what I write on the inside of the card, here are a few simple greetings I use:

  • You’re spooktacular! Because of you, _________ (impact example).
  • You’re fa-boo-lous! Thank you for your kindness and commitment to _________. (people/things you serve)
  • Who’s terror-ific? You’re terror-ific! Without you, _________ (impact example).

Fun, right? Bet you a bag of candy corn your donors will think so too.

P.S. This card made me belly laugh, so I bought a bunch to send to family and friends.

    I love Halloween too! Great idea to use the holiday as a touch point, moving into the busy year-end (when all charities are frantically asking donors for gifts). Thanks for the tip!
