Learn how to harness your organization’s data to predict which constituents are most likely to become donors, who to ask for an upgrade next, and which channels are most effective for which constituents. Tom Zydel and Dana Gresko of EAB Advancement Marketing Services will bring real examples of analytics that have helped annual giving programs drive more donor activity and plan out a yearlong solicitation strategy informed by data.
