Session Description:

Looking for new donors? Trying to hold on to the donors you have? Understanding who’s in your donor pool — or should be — is the first step to growing a larger, more loyal group of supporters. In this highly entertaining and thought-provoking webinar author/consultant Judith Nichols will introduce the key subgroups in the Canadian and U.S. populations and help you create strategies that work with the five adult cohorts — mature civics, idealist boomers, pragmatic gen xers, global gen yers, and emerging millennials. Case examples will be used to demonstrate marketing that works.

Learning Outcomes:

* An appreciation of who’s who in the Canadian and U.S. populations

* Marketing keys that work for each population grouping

* How to choose your “best” audiences
