Building retention the PhilPsych way
In this workshop, you will review a variety of perspectives on donor loyalty and retention, together with the practical actions organisations are taking today to build loyalty. You will explore the findings of a major new research project comparing traditional perspectives such as satisfaction, commitment, and trust, with the performance of new ideas from the science of philanthropic psychology. Discover how the factors that drive what people say they will do (i.e., their intended future loyalty) are different from the ones that drive actual future behaviour (retention). Based on these findings, you’ll learn look at and manage retention in an entirely new way.
