How to Find Emotion in Every Mission

But what if your nonprofit is a think tank? Or creates policy? Or is dedicated to research? Or it’s a professional association?
 
Can you still have emotion in your appeals? Yes. There’s always a story buried somewhere. What you do impacts people either directly or indirectly and that means emotion is there too.
 
Don’t believe me? Send in one of your direct mail, email, or other fundraising and marketing communications and our guest expert – professional copywriter Karen Zapp – will rewrite a portion of it to demonstrate how it can be done.
 
Learn from the “before-and-after” examples to see how you can strengthen the copy in your appeals. And if you prefer to keep the name of your nonprofit anonymous, we can “sanitize” your copy. You’ll still benefit from a free edit of your copy and the other webinar attendees won’t know who you are. Just include this anonymity request when you send in your appeal.

Even the most analytical person makes emotional decisions. Emotion is inspiring … motivating … captivating … engaging. Emotion drives us all day long, even if it’s hidden from our conscious thoughts. If you want to do everything you can with the copy to boost response, then using emotion in your appeal letters is essential.
