Hi !

IMPORTANT PUBLISHER’S NOTE:

The next edition of this enews will arrive in your inbox on Tuesday (yes yes, it’s Thrival Tuesday).

Next Thursday is Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. I will be OOO and therefore am sending the enews a couple of days early.

To my Jewish subscribers, may you and your loved ones be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life.

And now for something completely different…

When you publish, post or send any form of fundraising and marketing communication, you have to read the content thru the eyes of the reader.

How will they receive it? Will it be understood as you intended? Will it lead to action?

I’ve written about this before but today I want to get your reaction, your thoughts, your feedback. But all of that as if YOU were the reader, the current or potential supporter.

One of the largest nonprofits in the U.S. sent me this last week:

Now that you’re in the shoes of one of their readers, what does the above content and data say to you? How do you interpret it?

I’d love to hear from as many of you as possible! Please click reply to this email and share with me what the above says to you about the organization, their work, programs, fundraising efforts and whatever else comes to mind.

Thank you in advance!
