Whether it’s in an email, on a donation form or an advocacy action – making sure that your supporters are seeing content relevant to them will drive more engagement. The next three Tips & Tricks will cover how you can leverage tools that are native to the Engaging Networks’ platform to deliver pertinent content to your supporters.

Enter Conditional and Split Conditional Email

When creating an email campaign you have 4 choices, as shown below:

tips and tricks conditional content

If you’re not already, you should select Conditional Content or Split Test Conditional. Why? Because, this allows you to send different emails to different profiles (you are using profiles, right?????). This means your supporters that belong to the Major Gifts profile can have an email signed by your CDO and have a link to an event, while your supporters that belong to Please Click on Something profile can have a subject line begging them to open the email and then just a picture of a puppy (whatever drives engagement, right?).

Ben’s Advanced Tip: With our Split Test Conditional option you can test content within your conditional emails. For that Major Gifts profile I just mentioned, you could change the language so that 50% get a link to an event and the rest get a fundraising appeal. You can test like this for each version to see which puppy picture resonates with your audience.
