Worth attending the below if for no other reason than to get more puns like the ones below...

ALWAYS A GOOD DAY: It is always a good day for golf, but it's even better when golf and real estate professionals are together. We're on hole #7 at the Lynn Haven Country Club, taking part in the wonderful charity golf tournament. If you missed seeing us today, give us a call anytime regarding real estate. #happytohelpclose #cpar #realestateclosings #handarendallharrisonsale #hahslaw

Earlier this week, my children and I received a parcel each from Oxford United Football Club - a free scarf to wear to the matches as first time season ticket holders. They loved it. And it reminded me of some of the things we talk about as charity fundraisers: 🎉 Surprise and Delight We had no idea this was coming. So they loved coming home from school to a parcel and unwrapping it to see what it was. How can we give donors not just reactive thank yous (in response to gifts) but proactive thank yous and gifts (in response to loyalty) 🆔 Give people an identity As the 3 of us put on our scarves, it felt like we went from being fans to being supporters. Now I have something that identifies me with the Yellows! How can we use our language, or low cost items (pin badges, fridge magnets) to give people the identity of generous people who care about our cause? 💷 Think of the Lifetime Value These scarves cost what, £5? So are they are a cost, or an investment? Because by delivering delight and helping us take on an identity, the club have increased the chances that we'll get season tickets next year (although promotion would also help!) and spend money in the club shop. What are the things you can do that cost money (or time, or brainpower) but will yield increased giving for your charity over the long-term? Just some initial thoughts, but I'd love to hear what you think ⬇

Since joining Prosperity 24/7, I've come to realise that there's not much that brings us together like a good Love to Ride challenge. We managed to top our respective leaderboards in the recent May challenge, although Greener Kirkcaldy gave us an excellent run for our money. We got new people involved in the challenge, we saved an estimated 546lb CO2 through cycling instead of driving and as well as cheering on our usual stalwarts, I also discovered which colleagues will come through last thing on a Friday and undertake a round-the-island-cycle for the extra miles... Sure, winning is fun but what's really nice is to see the behaviour changes starting to take root in the segment of our company that aren't die-hard cyclists (and I include myself in that). Last September I noted that I'm a reluctant cyclist but I'm becoming less reluctant and more willing to do that commute by bicycle. I've also noticed our bike store becoming busier and less frequent cyclists populating the Love to Ride feed more often. That's no mean feat. As someone who deals with change while delivering projects, change isn't always easy to embed but I've always been a fan of gamification as motivation in the right settings. And one of those right settings will be Prosperity Day in September, when our colleagues and clients will compete for bragging rights but also for the much better reason of raising money for charity - this year, we're supporting Healing Waves UK and Jersey Hospice Care - two very deserving charities. So, if you want to do your part, why not sign up for or donate to the tenth Prosperity Day? https://lnkd.in/eFAaUGGf #Lovetoride #change #prosperityday #healingwaves #hospice #charity #cycling
