Online Ask Amounts
To help determine how much to solicit a constituent through an online donation form, Target Analytics uses advanced predictive analytics to provide a suggested range of low, medium, and high ask amounts — such as $25-$50-$75 or $100-$150-$250 — based on their giving to other organizations. With this analysis, you can:
-
Create online donation forms based on the suggested ask amount ranges and include them in targeted appeals
-
Identify donors with a capacity for increased online donations, based on their giving to other organizations
Tip: To help ensure Target Analytics can suggest ask amounts, verify your constituent records have complete and accurate names — including any suffixes — and primary mailing addresses.
To view the suggested online ask amounts for a list of constituents, select Choose columns , Online ask amount, and Apply changes. If a constituent has no suggested ask amount, 'No amount assigned' appears in the column. Target Analytics may not provide an online ask amount for a constituent if:
-
Their record is new and not yet scored.
-
Their primary address is outside of the United States.
-
Their record has insufficient or incorrect name or address information.
Tip: To include constituents in a list based on their suggested ask amounts, select Choose filters , Online ask amount and select Apply changes. At the top of the list, select Online ask amount and choose the amounts to include.
Note: To further refine your lists, you can also use the Low online ask amount, Mid online ask amount, and High online ask amount columns and filters.
Tip: For the suggested minimum and maximum ask amounts for a constituent's annual giving, with Wealth Analytics, refer to their Next ask amount from Target Analytics. For more information, see Blackbaud NXT Ratings.
