"I have been very impressed with the strategic planning and partnering between Telecomp and the RPO. This partnership produces a synergy in subscription and membership that builds each year to produce greater and greater results." — Rick Nowlin, formerly President and CEO, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra The fund raising programs Telecomp designs are unique to each cultural organization. You can read about how we Build Relationships with your constituency, using a set of Proven Techniques that consistently Deliver Results. Then take The First Step with us towards building for tomorrow...today. Building Relationships Many membership-based organizations and institutions have weathered tremendous cuts in public funding, making private sources of gifts vitally important to their future. While most enjoy relatively high retention rates, the acquisition of new members has not kept pace with annual drop-offs, resulting in a slow, but steady, erosion in the total number of members each year. At the same time, attendance figures continue to climb, with literally thousands of prospective members streaming through the doors each year. This was the case for an arts organization where a Telecomp program generated the highest, single-year membership gain in its history, with 1,863 new members, and returned the membership to a level not achieved since 1974! A Telecomp program is also effective in increasing membership gifts -- another common challenge for arts organizations, where many loyal members give year after year at the "basic" level. Telecomp programs designed to secure gifts above and beyond membership -- either in an annual fund, capital campaign, or special appeal -- are additional options to increase your institution's gift income. Telecomp programs are successful, because they build relationships with your constituency. Whether a subscriber, member, ticket buyer, or visitor, our programs are designed to speak with individuals based on their interests, their commitment, and their giving potential. Our knowledge of fund raising, our honesty and trustworthiness, and the quality of our results are the three most often cited reasons our clients trust their fund raising and membership programs to Telecomp. We have achieved this level of client satisfaction, because we look at the total fund raising operation and design a program that meets your needs. Since 1986, Telecomp has partnered with numerous fine arts and cultural institutions, such as New England Aquarium, Chicago Botanic Garden, Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Proven Techniques Telecomp has a long history of fund raising successes and a broad base of experience to draw from as we design each program. But that doesn't mean we're done evolving. We are constantly evaluating new methods that allow our clients to get closer to their members and subscribers, and realize greater fund raising success. We achieve this by: • Strategic planning and creative development • The support of a team with 200 campaigns • Comprehensive pre-call and post-call mailings • Extraordinary steps to reach each person • Scripting for meaningful communication for various populations • Detailed results reporting by segment • Capturing specific data to enhance your records • Databases that are easily searchable for records requiring special attention • A custom-made pledge reminder system to increase fulfillment and maximize income Delivering Results Our telephone outreach programs are built upon our strong commitment to your needs, integrity in how we interact with your donors, members, or prospective members, and our unyielding sense of responsibility and stewardship. We help to create stronger donor relationships to help you achieve your specific campaign objectives. The results are seen immediately when: • Current donors/members renew at higher levels of support • Lapsed donors/members are retrieved in greater numbers • The maximum number of new donors/members are acquired • Potential donors of major gifts are identified • Your donor and member records are carefully updated • Your relationships with donors and members are enhanced Taking the First Step Telecomp is your fund raising partner for telephone outreach programs.
