Each year the needs of God’s people in dioceses nationwide increase dramatically. Pastoral, social and educational services along with the need to provide life’s basic necessities; is Christ’s call to action for every Catholic Christian.
Over a thirty year history, Letter Concepts has produced more than 500 diocesan annual appeals in 48 dioceses.
Our time-tested approach begins with a segmented personalized request letter from Arch/Bishop. Approximately five weeks later a personalized follow-up letter is recommended from each pastor to motivate parishioners who have yet to respond with a gift. Attention to detail is the key as Letter Concepts produces each pastor’s letter on individual parish stationery.
Letter Concepts recommends using donor history to determine a donor’s Annual Appeal request “ask.” A gift array chart may be used or a single “ask” amount. You may also cite the donor’s last gift in the request letter or on the personalized pledge card.
The results from targeted “asks” are astounding! Approximately 30% of previous donors will increase their gift or pledge this year. Letter Concepts’ personalized request letters can apply multiple segmentations to maximize the average gift of your appeal.
