When a Simple “Thank You” Isn’t Thanks Enough

Apr 18, 2016 | Articles

Each year billions of dollars are donated to support universities, schools, hospitals, religious groups, and other non-profit organizations.  These donations are vital to making countless programs and services available, funding all kinds of projects, such as new infrastructures, equipment, education, and health services. Finding a way to properly thank these generous donors can be a difficult task.

Donor walls, recognition displays, interactive multimedia presentations and more are great ways to celebrate donors.  Express appreciation and gratitude by memorializing the donor names and contributions through eye-catching displays.  Visually show the donors what has been accomplished and demonstrate the positive impact the donations have made. This will make them feel appreciated and could inspire repeat donations.

Donor recognition displays can also be used to attract new gifts.  By presenting your future program goals and challenges, potential donors are motivated to be part of the journey.  Many organizations start with a fundraiser and a donor recognition display, leaving open spaces to provide opportunity to get involved with specific projects.  New donors should be encouraged to envision their name alongside others.

Also, the recognition display can reflect the donation hierarchy.  Oftentimes this will encourage a healthy competition and entice current donors to move to the next level.  This is a great marketing tool for soliciting continuous donations.  Integrate digital interactive monitors to display updated information in real-time for donor names that are constantly changing.

Adler display’s portfolio includes numerous donor recognition displays, utilizing everything from LED monitors and etched glass to hand-carved wood.  The displays can tell specific stories or causes using touchscreens, videos, and other interactive features. 

So when a simple, “thank you” isn’t thanks enough, you may want to consider a donor recognition display.
