Telemarketing is Critical in 2022

Why is 2022 such a critical year to be on the phone with your patrons? Telemarketing is the most DIRECT of all the marketing and fundraising tools available. The past two years remind us of what has worked over the past decades and why…

 

  1. Acquisition is more crucial than ever. Your organization must reactivate lapsed and lost patrons as quickly as possible. Telemarketing compliments other direct response tools, increasing touchpoints with patrons to maximize participation and revenue generation. It could not be clearer: people can’t wait to get back to live performances.

  2. Telemarketing is engaging and helpful. Your patrons love and miss you and appreciate hearing from you. They can’t wait to get back to attending live performances. Until they do, patrons have been very generous with donations. Telemarketing reaches your ticket buyers and donors directly and helps them get specific and essential information. Some patrons need extra help and assistance conducting business with you. Telephone agents facilitate the exchange of critical information and the completion of transactions. Nothing replaces that human connection, perhaps now more than ever.

  3. Telemarketing breaks through. Your direct mail and email messages arrive in mailboxes and inboxes with content designed to be consumed at the patron’s leisure. Phone calls create specific moments of engagement, requiring resolution and immediate action.

  4. Telemarketing creates a feedback loop. Learn what excites and concerns your patrons about the year ahead and how you can better serve their needs.

 

We would love to hear from you about topics in telemarketing that interest you that we can write about in the future.
