Dear Colleagues,

It’s that time again. January means annual tax statement production and required acknowledgement for all the contributions your nonprofit received last year. Instead of viewing the process as simply fulfillment of a necessary IRS requirement, take a moment and listen to our Commentary Podcast this month to discover how to turn those statements into donations.  

Consider This . . . We haven’t served a client in decades who hasn’t asked us to script their elevator speech. The good news is your ministry or organization’s elevator speech already exists.  

In addition, we’ve added two new Cahoots Courses to our catalog with training on designing and sending effective Broadcast Email, and how to get direct attention from your donors through Direct Mail.

Better or Worse?
Are digital tax receipts preferable?

In this Cahoots Commentary podcast, we address the trend among nonprofit organizations and ministries to stop sending donation tax receipts through the mail and the resulting ramifications. We also share creative ways to turn your annual January tax statements into direct mail appeals. 

Picture yourself on an elevator and someone asks, “So what does your nonprofit do?” Nothing is more uncomfortable than trying to retrieve all the unique qualities and accomplishments your organization or ministry possesses between the first and fifth floor. So, before you get caught off-guard the next time you catch an elevator, we have some good news for you. 

We’ve added two more Courses to our catalog with training on designing and sending effective Broadcast Email, and how to get direct attention from your donors through Direct Mail.

Your Digital Mailman
Designing and Sending Effective Broadcast Email

For your nonprofit, broadcast email can be your single most economical and effective communication channel with all your audiences. 

In this Cahoots Course, we are going to focus on broadcast email and using an Email Service Provider, list management, sender reputation, assembling your email, broadcast email campaigns, and automated drip and trigger campaigns.

Receive Direct Attention
Address Yourself to Donors With Direct Mail

Sending your message or appeal through the mail is still a relevant tool for connecting directly with your target audiences right where they live.  

In this Cahoots course, we’re going to share all the benefits of direct mail, the different types and formats, and strategy to integrate it well into your marketing and development planning.

In addition to our online training Courses, we also work directly with organizations and ministries just like you by providing individualized training and counsel.

Thanks for coming alongside all of us at Cahoots as we continue
