Description
If you’ve hit that post-campaign wall, tired, drained, and wondering if anyone else feels the same, this episode is for you.In today’s episode, I share what to do when you’re completely wiped from GivingTuesday or a year-end push but still have fundraising goals to hit. You’ll learn how to recover strategically (without going silent), re-engage donors who gave once, and use short “sprint campaigns” to rebuild your energy and results. Because burnout isn’t a sign that you’re doing it wrong, it’s a signal that you need structure, rest, and a smarter rhythm to your fundraising.Topics:What is the campaign hangover, and why is it completely normalHow to recover from fundraising fatigue without losing momentumWhy rest and structure are non-negotiable for sustainable growthHow to design “sprint-style” campaigns that prevent burnoutWhy donors often give again within the same 30-day windowThe importance of shifting your message post-campaign, not going silentQuick two-minute tweaks to boost conversions without new contentHow to reuse winning posts, emails, and videos from earlier campaignsThe three ways to reset your energy fast (walk, talk, or move your body)How to push smarter, not harder, through the end of the yearFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.
