“We’ve used engagement and generosity reports to help us in our capital campaign and these insights have led us to great successes in fundraising. In our first year with the Bloomerang… we went from raising $16,000 to $21,000. The second-year we doubled that dollar amount and mailed only 650 pieces. Math doesn’t lie.”
