AFTERNOON PROGRAM

Turning Big Ones into Little Ones: Market Segmentation and its role in fundraising (Program Part Two
Market research has long been a hallmark in the for-profit world, but is still met with suspicion by much of the fundraising community.  However, used in conjunction with traditional methods of prospect identification, market segmentation approaches can efficiently discover groups of constituents that are measurably better prospects for a range of initiatives.  Using a series of case studies, this session will introduce participants to uses for demographic data, past giving patterns, PRIZM clusters and other information useful for segmentation. Focused on delivering results, the session will provide guidance for implementing your findings directly into major and annual giving programs.

PRESENTER  Dan Lowman is Senior Vice President, Philanthropic Analytics, at Grenzebach Glier and Associates in Chicago. GG+A is the premier global fundraising firm and since 1961 has served thousands of clients in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.  Dan led the team that developed DonorScape, the first-ever Web-based prospect screening service and also created DonorScape UK, a screening service for British institutions.  He currently serves clients in the areas of prospect identification, analytics and market segmentation and specializes in higher education and cultural/service organizations.  Dan was a Peace Corps volunteer in Slovakia and if you ask him, he’ll tell you stories all day long.
