The Give and Take of Premium Mailings
So, really, the question is not so much whether premiums are good or bad. It’s what your real object is for your fundraising campaign. If you want long-term, loyal donors, then use your best creative minds and most strategic mailing techniques. Create powerful, mission-driven creative, then get out there in as many channels as you can. Get attention, tell your story and give your reader a compelling reason to take action.
