Exeter, March 2018
Shelter fundraised almost 90% more than they originally expected to with online greeting card alternative DontSendMeACard.com over the festive period.
The charity joined the ecard and donation platform in summer 2017, after agreeing upon additional custom requirements for their Christmas campaign.
The objective was to be able to invite both individual and corporate supporters to send Shelter Christmas ecards and donate the cost of printed greeting cards.
This was achieved by commissioning the DontSendMeACard team to provide customised ecard pages offering a Shelter-branded experience.
Shelter's expected donation amount was almost doubled, receiving an increase of almost 90%.
Shelter are continuing to work with DontSendMeACard after enjoying an ROI of 386% from their first year.
"The DontSendMeACard team are really friendly and helpful, which made launching our Christmas e-cards stress free. The ecards tool also worked really well for our supporters and I'd recommend the tool to anyone."
Yasmin, Digital Product Manager, Shelter
The success of this project for a large national charity demonstrates DontSendMeACard's ability to achieve a significant fundraising figure in lieu of greeting cards.
