Purpose of appeal: to acquire new donors and retain lapsing donors.
Unique about this appeal: in the past we have used heavily designed pieces with lots of graphics. For this piece we chose to try a more simple letter style design with a right rail call out for the incentive to focus on the giving message and not the incentive item.
Audience criteria:
