2010 Edition: 12-Month Planned Giving Marketing Plan
Why a Planned Giving Marketing Toolkit for
smaller to medium-sized non-profits?
Because your annual gifs are down, and your need for long-term, stable
endowment is greater than ever before.
Because your best prospects are already hearing about planned gifs from
the charity down the street.
Because over 85% of all planned gifs are gifs anyone can aford gifs
through a will (ofen called bequests*), gifs of a retirement account, gifs
of paid-up life insurance, gifs of appreciated securities. (Actually, appreci-
ated anything that can be appraised and sold.)
Why are these gifs important to you?
It takes no expertise or specialized staf to promote and accept them. You do
not need a lawyer, bank, or fnancial advisor on staf. You can start marketing
and closing gifs that make a big diference today.
Most planned gifs can be marketed as gifs that cost nothing during your lifetime.
Why? Bequests are made afer ones lifetime; insurance, IRs and securities
have already been paid for and are just siting there. Teyre perfect for donors
who worry about afording a cash gif.
Taking advantage of this marketing plan and pursuing planned gifs can make a
big diference for every organization, and your career, too. (Tose who just even
dabble in planned giving earn signifcantly more.) Tis is the perfect tool to
start a planned giving program, or strengthen an existing one.
Remember: less than 5% of this nations wealth is in cash.
Tis marketing plan will open the door to the other 95%.
What can this marketing plan
do for you?
Pages 6-8 tell you what marketing documents you need and where to fnd
them. Tese are a series of leters, postcards and other documents. Dont at-
tempt to write them yourself use your time more wisely.
Pages 9 through 12 detail your 12-month calendar populated with your task
list. Some of the tasks involve sending the items on pages 7 8, and others
involve simple strategies weve developed through experience.
It really is very, very simple. And comprehensive.
*Wed rather call these gifs through ones
will. Why? Most folks out there do
not know the term bequests or to bestow.
Others think a bequest is something
only rich people can have.
Gifts anyone can afford:
Gifts through ones will
Appreciated Securities
Appreciated Anything
Retirement Plans
Life Insurance
Less than 5% of this nations
wealth is in cash.

2010 Edition: 12-Month Planned Giving Marketing Plan
What Works & What Doesnt
in planned giving marketing?
What Does Not Work:
Repetitive pre-packaged emails. Te e-recipients know that the
message is impersonal and generic, and so do the spam-blockers on their
computers. Heres a no-nonsense white paper on planned giving spam:
plannedgiving.com/spam. It discusses why you should use e-mail blasts
sparingly.
Websites with superfuous links, deep home pages, too much text,
and updated libraries with exciting (really?) planned giving news in
special reading rooms.
Screening prospects based on just wealth and age (many fundraisers still
market only to seniors bad idea and well tell you why).
Traditional planned giving newsleters (theyre not efective and dont
even get read). A newsleter with useful information and donor stories
does. PlannedGiving.Com/newsleters.
A single mailing. One-step, one-hit marketing is stupid. If you are going to
mail one fyer and stop, stop before you mail the one fyer. [Dan Ken-
nedy, a direct-mail response marketing guru.] Repetition is absolutely
required to make your program successful.
So...
Planned Giving Marketing: Smoke and Mirrors
or a sure thing?
If youre not sure, maybe its time to forget Conventional Marketing Wisdom
(CMW) and start thinking strategically.
When you market planned gifs, you are trying to persuade people to do
something that most of them dont even want to think about permanently
transfer assets away from their control and that of their families. Even your
simplest promotion (Remember us in your will) bogs them down in thoughts
of mortality.
Te CMW answer?
More of the same! Wear them down until they get the message! More
newsleters, more mass emails, more deluxe four-color brochures, libraries
of tax articles on your websites reading rooms. Simply put, more Overkill
Marketing that your prospects tune out.
plannedgiving.com/bequesttoolkit
Please refer to page 15.
page 5
2010 Edition: 12-Month Planned Giving Marketing Plan
Te strategic answer? (Read this twice)
A balanced blend of print and electronic messages. Most should be benefts-
driven, short and to the point. Why? Because your prospect is inundated with
over 3000 marketing messages a day. Teyd rather think about buying their
next car, a Coke or just about anything before planned giving.
Note that we say benefts-driven (such as you can impact thousands for gen-
erations to come) and not features-driven. Features mention death (when
you die, your insurance pays us). Benefts promote immortality. Features slow
down your sales process. Benefts sell the sizzle. And the sizzle keeps your pros-
pect focused on your mission, vision, and on making the gif. Its that simple.
Multi-Channel Marketing (A Fancy Way to Say Send diferent things)
It is also important to vary the media through which you communicate with
your prospects. For example, dont always use email. Use cards, leters, display
ads, and (geez, oh-no) the old-fashioned phone. If you stick to one single me-
dium, your prospects will tune you out. Tis is a simple sales and marketing
strategy used by experts. Oh yes, and dont forget the face-to-face visits.
Who is Your Voice of Planned Giving?
Do you respond beter when a bunch of people you may or may not know ask
you to do something, or when one person youve built a relationship with asks?
When you think of Wendys, who do you think of ? Dave Tomas, and he
passed away in 2002. Yet Dave developed a close personal relationship with
millions through a carefully scripted ad campaign and appeared in more than
800 commercial advertisements from 1989 to 2002 more than any other
person in television history. Select someone a volunteer, your Executive
Director, a beloved program ofcer and keep having them tell your story...
over and over, like Dave.
A simple plan that works.
First and foremost, memorize your planned giving one-liners (we call
these your elevator pitches). Tey are included in our Ultimate Quick
Reference Planned Giving Pocket Guide (www.plannedgiving.com/guide).
Develop a visually-based customized planned giving website that engages
your readers and then actively leads them to you for follow-up. Make sure
the website is not a passive reading room like most other planned giving
websites. (When was the last time you were in a reading room? Have you
woken up yet?) Reading rooms are not read. Contact VirtualGiving at
800-490-7090. Our friendly and experienced staf will help you develop
your customized, donor-centric planned giving website.
Mail a personalized leter highlighting the benefts of giving wisely
both for the prospect and the non-proft. Include your phone, email and
website URL (well show you where to download a sample that you can
customize for your institution). Mail this same leter or only a slightly
US mail, not e-blasts, is still
the preferred way to receive
information.
73% prefer mail;18% prefer the
same content by e-mail
For Condential Information its
10% (unchanged from 2004)
70% prefer US mail from
companies they are not doing
business with.
For email, the preference is
less than 10%. This makes new
customer acquisition tough.
If you take deliverability issues
into account, you have a less than
1% chance your email may be
read.
page 6
2010 Edition: 12-Month Planned Giving Marketing Plan
varied version of this same leter three to four times a year. Why the same
one? Because chances are only 10-20% of your leters will get read, and
less than 5% of those who read them will remember your pitch 4 months
later. Besides, you must have as many touches in one year as possible.
More about such mailings in the 12-month plan.
Select your best prospects, and make sure not to use wealth and age as
your primary predictors. Your best predictor is loyalty i.e., giving to
you consistently regardless of amount.
In place of a traditional planned giving newsleter, mail a series of com-
pelling postcards (covered in the 12-month plan). In our information
driven society, newsleters are geting a weaker and weaker response.

Newsleters that work include columns that help donors prepare their
wills, protect important documents while traveling, and other informa-
tion anyone can use. Other things that work are donor lists and focused,
benefts-based planned giving articles such as How to Establish an Endowed
Scholarship With a Gif Tat Cost Nothing During Your Lifetime.

Youre much beter of with a compelling article in your organizational
newsleter than publishing a stand-alone planned-giving-only piece.
Develop a series of display ads (similar to a magazine ad). Tese can be
very efective. (See samples at virtualgiving.com/ads) Place them in your
organizations publications, in commercial publications (if appropriate),
and even in packets of material you hand out about your program.
We can help you fnd the marketing approach that will work for your unique
organization:
Developing a planned giving website? Consider VirtualGiving.
Tey deliver world-class, donor centric, benefts-driven planned giving
websites that inform and inspire and help your prospect learn more about
leaving a legacy to your organization. And unlike other vendors, they guide
the prospect to the right gif plan based on goals and benefts and not based
on age. Tey make planned giving non-intimidating. Tat means donor
centric marketing that is pleasant to read and simple to get.
Are you mailing to too many prospects or not enough? Ten uti-
lize the PGFinder, a proprietary datamining/screening system that is 91%
accurate and uses permutations based on donor loyalty, a much more
accurate predictor of planned giving potential than age or wealth.*
Discovered that your planned giving newsleters arent work-
ing? (We told you so.) Ten put together compelling postcards that get
read. Teir message is retained even if the card is thrown away. You can
download postcard copy at www.plannedgiving.com.

your board on the importance of planned giving and
endowment. Whether you are starting a new program

And this could be just the tool you need!
Its designed to be used with board members or other
group of volunteers [with a litle editing, it could also be
used with senior leadership]. It can help them under-
stand why planned giving should be an integral part of
the fundraising operation or confrm that their decision
to have a program was the right one.
Essentially, it helps make the case for planned giving. For a
sample of some of the points covered, visit:
plannedgiving.com/board plannedgiving.com/bequesttoolkit

go toolkit. From start to fnish, here are all the materials
youll need for a successful bequest campaign.
And, its two toolkits in one like buying one and get-
ting one free!

quests.
