A shifting environment

The Nature Conservancy had to halt its face-to-face fundraising efforts amid COVID-19. Still needing to acquire and retain new donors for the cause, they enlisted Epsilon to help shift their strategy from in-person to telemarketing. Using a custom acquisition program, the non-profit successfully acquired new donors over the phone.

Collaboration meets innovation

The Nature Conservancy chose Epsilon to help them identify and reach their best donor prospects over the phone. After many collaborative brainstorm sessions, we leveraged affinity modeling and a custom telemarketing acquisition program to uncover high-value potential donors.

Finding telemarketing-responsive donors

The first step was to profile The Nature Conservancy’s current telemarketing-responsive and face-to-face acquired donors to uncover demographic, transactional and behavioral insights that would aid the team in crafting the right audience.

Affinity modeling broadens the prospect universe

Next, leveraging Epsilon’s affinity modelling, the broadest prospect audience for both telemarketing responsive and face-to-face acquired donors was solidified. Then, the team applied phone appends to the newly identified prospect universe for telemarketing solicitation.

The work doesn’t stop there

We continually optimized based on campaign metrics, continually ideating to find the best prospects throughout the campaign.

“The first word that comes to my mind when thinking about Epsilon’s approach was collaboration. We had some great in-depth conversation and brainstorming, truly building off each other—it was not just the spirit of collaboration, but a spirit of trust.”
