Are you really smarter than your donor?

With the assistance of several contemporary Christian music radio station partners and their listeners, ShareMedia Services conducted a research survey to find out the answer to this question

ShareMedia President Todd Isberner presents the summary of the results from this new on-air fundraising study below. 

The purpose of the survey was to learn how listeners rank effectiveness of actual on-air fundraising appeals. Respondents were asked some general questions to qualify their answers and then lead to a series of audio clips that they could rate in terms of their perceived effectiveness.

The answers to these questions (and many more) were revealed…

• Did listeners prefer “inspiration” over “incentive” during a pledge drive?

• How did they feel about a direct appeal from a station manager?

• How much impact does a listener story have on response? 

If you’d like to compare your personal perspective next to the surveyed participants or to rate the on-air appeals, here’s how:
