Why Premiums are Integral to Fundraising Success
Freemiums® play a crucial role in enhancing donor engagement and boosting contributions, a fact consistently supported by research. Recent findings highlight the tangible benefits of using premiums in fundraising efforts. For instance, in 2024, The Boys and Girls Clubs of America conducted a successful test offering a premium to monthly donors who committed to giving at a certain level. By incorporating the premium in more visually dynamic creative channels, such as social media and Performance Max advertising, the organization achieved a 50% increase in conversions and a 60% reduction in cost per acquisition compared to content that did not feature the premium item. This case study was featured in a recent NonProfit PRO article published in January.
A Statistical Advantage
These examples underscore the power of premiums not only to increase donor response rates but also to enhance the overall efficiency of fundraising campaigns. By creating a sense of reciprocity and enhancing the emotional connection between donors and the cause, premiums help sustain both short-term gains and long-term donor loyalty.
Building Emotional Connections
According to research from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, premiums foster emotional connections that go beyond the initial donation. They encourage ongoing support by offering something tangible that connects donors to the cause.
