A creative way to thank your donors: The video

Your donors give you gifts. What’s the gift you give back?
It should be gratitude.
Here’s a great example from one of the wonderful people who reads this blog. Ingrid kindly agreed to my sharing her email to me and this video.
Katya—had to share this great video my alma mater, Davidson College just sent out as a thank you for meeting our 60% participation goal for 9 years straight. Funny - but I didn’t open it when it was sent in an email. I read the little thank you blurb and saw the link to a video, but thought it was just going to be the typical stuff, so I deleted.
THEN, someone posted it to our class facebook page - and I thought - wow, if someone is going to repost a thank you video, I’d better check it out!
Enjoy!
