How do I fundraise successfully at my BarbeCURE?
Here are our top tips for getting the most out of your fundraising:
- Personalise your fundraising page - Add a photo and tell people why you are raising money for the BarbeCURE – having a photo makes your page 23% more engaging, and a page summary makes it 36% more engaging!
- Aim high with your fundraising goal – The sky is the limit! Aim high when you set up your fundraising goal and don’t be afraid to increase it. This will motivate you to work hard for your goal, and you’ll likely end up doing better than you originally thought. It also encourages people to give more - pages with a fundraising goal raise 46% more than those without!
- Share your fundraising page – Share your page with all your friends, family and colleagues across social media, email and across your networks. The more you share, the more people engage with your goal, and the more likely you are to reach it.
- Send reminders by e-mail– it’s a good idea to send reminders to keep your fundraising in the front of people’s minds, and sending emails means you can engage with people that aren’t on social media.
- Keep your supporters updated on your progress and encourage others – your family, friends and colleagues will be inspired to support you when they see how hard you are working. You may even convince them to take part in BarbeCURE themselves and choose their side of the grill!
- Thank everyone who has supported you - let your supporters know that their donation has been noticed and appreciated. You can thank your supporters by email, social media or via your fundraising page and get them involved in the debate @curecancerau #teammeat #teamveg
- It’s not over until it’s over – About 20% of donations come in after an event has ended. Make sure you follow up after your BarbeCURE with an update about how you did.
