TIPS FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT
PERSONALISE THE GREETING
Replace [Organisation Name] with the actual name. If you know the person's name, use it — "Dear Sarah" is far more powerful than "Dear Team".
FOLLOW UP WITHIN 7 DAYS
Send a brief follow-up email if you haven't heard back. Most donations and partnerships come from the second or third contact, not the first.
ATTACH A PHOTO
Adding one of your real photos to the email dramatically increases response rates. The hospital photo or the sisterhood photo are the most powerful.
SEND ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY
Emails sent mid-week between 9am and 11am have the highest open and response rates. Avoid Mondays and Fridays.
KEEP A TRACKING LIST
Note who you sent to, when, and whether they responded. This helps you follow up systematically and not double-contact anyone.
LOCAL IS MOST POWERFUL
Start with Mount Gambier and South Australian organisations first. Local connections respond faster and are more likely to champion your cause publicly.
