Get their Attention by giving them the attention they deserve 🎁️

It is not just about the attractive content, is it? We need our donors to OPEN the email and CLICK the button. What is the best way to grab your donor's attention to the 'DONATE' button? The answer is obvious - include their name.🔖️ People tend to pay attention when the emails are more personalised.

Merge Tags are powerful tools that let you add a personal touch to the emails you send. All you need is to know where to add them.

Add #Salutation# to personalise "Call To Action" buttons 

Adding the #Salutation# merge tags on the buttons in your email will address the recipient name on the call-to-action buttons that redirect them to the desired landing page. This bit of information makes the buttons more personal that prompts the donor to donate. 



Wonder how this will look for the recipient? Here you go!



These changes bring a big impact on the readers' mindset and encourage them to support your organisation. 

Add #Salutation# on the email subject line

Simply add the #Salutation# merge tag in the subject line and there you go, the recipient feels the email is specifically for them. 

Add #Salutation# to your acknowledgement landing page

This is the final landing page, that we use for a post gift thank you and follow-up ask for something non-financial, that should also be personalised. All these small steps bring a bigger impact.

• Set automatic prefilling on the web widgets 
  

  Vega has more to offer in boosting your donations. You can set up automatic prefilling of the recipient details on the web widgets linked to your emails. All you need to do is set up the 'Widget Email Link'. Click here to learn more.
  

• Create your content effectively

Remember, many of your eDMs will be opened on a phone. So keep graphics to a minimum and also put them further into the email, not in the heading. On a phone screen you should see your name as a greeting and the first couple of lines of the content.

Vega covers it all, you just need to take the right move! 

Note: You will need to send an email from Vega to test this feature.
