Editor's Notes
- Third Sector, 16 March 2010 http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/BigIssues/Details/81476/charity-fundraising-technology/Article/990473/Online-fundraising-working/
- Response rates to direct mail are in continual decline and have been for some years. The postal service is in crisis. Will it survive? Perhaps only at the moment because online shopping has been keeping it afloat but many of those companies have moved to other suppliers after the recent strike action. We will eventually see the death of the huge volume direct mail industry we all know and love. Well, maybe love isn’t quite the right word, but direct mail has always been a huge source of fundraising income for charities, so this presents the sector with quite a challenge.
- If you need more proof, or help to make the case to your director or board, just look at what the circulations of the most popular newspapers in the UK did over the past year. Daily national newspaper market monthly year-on-year drop comparing December 2008 to December 2007 was 4.5%. That compares with 2% (2007-6), 3.2% (2006-5), 1.7% (2005-4), 3.2% (2004-3) and 3.8% (2003-2). Clearly, the downward trend is accelerating.’ Source: Guardian Jan 2009
- Kindle sales are soaring. This surely means the demise of printed books? Perhaps not for a while, but It will happen.
- ‘ Chuggers’ aren’t getting any more popular
- The mobile revolution means we can surf the web on our phones, whenever and wherever we are.

- The world has moved on. We have a proliferation of social media available to us. These just a few of them – and for each one shown on here, there are several more alternatives and more in development(!). They allow us to create our own content, share information, resources, photos, videos and points of view, collaborate on documents and projects – with anyone, anywhere in the world. This is not just with people we know, but complete strangers too (or, rather, people we didn’t know, and wouldn’t have had the opportunity to connect with, before!). The degree with which we are able to connect with others is unprecedented in history - and we are much more empowered as a result.
- Some relative newbies
- … and huge amount of opportunity to tailor our information sources and experiences our own needs. This is evidenced by the way business cards are starting to look…
