                 Start with an easy ask,
        How:     then ask the people that
                 do that to do something a
                 little more difficult. Repeat.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Annual supporter surveyQuestionnaire as part of a welcome seriesInclude a question in each action – many supporters that really trust you might not read your emails too carefully so they may not see an extra question if it is not mandatory. Making fields mandatory reduces response rate.What are people saying about you on social media?What are people saying about your issues on social media?What do people respond to?You need to track your data so that you know what people like hearing about and what they don’t want to hear about. You can segment your lists based on proven interest.For example, I created the group “FR 0511 Actions” or a tag that you add to every action having to do with fracking. You could tag 1) community 2)
