This episode is presented by Evertrue. Set yourself up for higher retention rates all year long by joining my free webinar with Evertrue on January 16th. RSVP at positiveequation.com/thanks.

Today's episode is a little sneak behind the feed of my own personal thank you strategy using ThankView, a versatile video platform that goes way beyond just thanking donors.

I'll share how I used it to send a breezy 5-minute video to my email list that had a 44.7% open rate (more than double the industry average!) and the myriad of other possibilities with this tool, from choosing a template, adding recipients, perfecting the email message, and customizing a landing page.

Learn about the metrics that matter and industry averages for open rates and clicks, highlighting the significance of a compelling call to action. And as a bonus, you'll get my personal insights and takeaways from a successful campaign for my monthly giving mastermind program.

We'll also shine a spotlight on Pledgemind and EverTrue Studios, who offer free on-demand documentaries and podcasts for nonprofit professionals. And trust me, you won't want to miss out on my upcoming webinar with EverTrue on January 16th - you'll learn how to creatively use video campaigns, email, and direct mail to reengage your supporters!
