Episode Details

Meet Wendy Faust, the driving force behind the Live Like Lou Foundation and a remarkable client who's shown up with bold and courageous action.  Wendy shares not only how she met but doubled her fundraising goal without breaking a sweat!  

Wendy boosted donor loyalty and fundraising success by using email marketing to increase her revenue, loyalty, and storytelling.

 She lets us in on the secrets of leveraging email marketing, segmenting messages, and the surprising strength found in increased online engagement -- and the data to back it up.

Plus she shares how increasing her email frequency resulted in increasing her email open rate, understanding supporter motivation, and more.

Wendy's invitation to connect extends beyond the microphone, as she encourages us to embrace our journeys and the collective mantra: "We get to do this."
