Charity Text Donation Seminar a SuccessAIME and PhonepayPlus jointly ran a free one day Charity Text Donation Seminar in London on Friday 19th February. This was well attended by many small charities who came to learn more about how to use text donations to improve their fundraising, make sure that their marketing campaigns are compliant, learn the importance of increasing donations by Gift Aid and to ensure the audit standards are good. As well as regulatory updates from PhonepayPlus, there were highly informative presentations from Telefonica, OpenMarket, Instagiv, Cymba, Vir2, Open Fundraising, Fonix and BBC Children in Need. With positive feedback from the attendees it has been suggested that this event is run on an annual basis to ensure the spread of the successful intelligence sharing. A link to the presentations for the day is here. You can also read about the event on PhonepayPlus’ blog here. Feedback from the day: I attend the Charity Seminar last week and I just wanted to say thank you for such a well-organised, informative day. It was really useful and I hope there will be a similar seminar next year! Samaritans Thank you for organising Friday. It felt like a good session, let’s do it again soon.

BBC Children in Need break text donation record with Harvest Media UK and Fonix
Fonix’s mobile billing and campaign management platforms provided audiences with the opportunity to donate and interact via mobile. The 2014 campaign delivered a record ‘on the night total’ for BBC Children in Need, with over £5m generated over text.
“We are delighted with the record breaking results” said Susan Johnston, Director of Operations and Finance, BBC Children in Need. “We had a very collaborative relationship with Harvest and Fonix who embraced our desire to innovate and optimize both donation levels and gift aid conversion. Working collaboratively with suppliers in this fragmented mobile ecosystem is essential”
Data-driven CRM and mobile marketing mechanics allowed BBC Children in Need to provide consumers with a tailored experience, resulting in over a third of users declaring their eligibility for Gift Aid.
Rob Weisz, CEO of Fonix Mobile commented, “The 2014 Children in Need campaign was a huge success which we were delighted to be a part of. We understand the importance of engaging donation mechanics with high conversion of gift aid declarations, something we continue to optimize. We worked on solutions that focused on specific objectives and were thrilled with the results achieved”.
Edward Boddington, CEO of Harvest added, “ Since we started working with BBC Children in Need in 2011, the charity has always strived to innovate. Using mobile text short codes for charity telethons is a high growth area as it allows charities to keep 100% of whatever the donor texts, in this case £5 and £10 price points.”
