The Unkindest Cut
I’ve run a nonprofit–resources are tight and cash is tighter. That’s why when I see nonprofits like the @KindestCutMN push QR code scanners to homepages, I get murphed. Here’s why:
- Per Google, over 65% of people who visited a mobile-unfriendly site will never return to it.
- The next 34.5% will likely never go deeper than 1-2 pages.
- And the remaining 0.5% are still unlikely to convert because there’s never a clear call to action–to donate, volunteer or snip your poor pooch.
So here’s what you need you need to do:
- If you can’t make your entire site mobile-optimized (due to politics or $$$), you can easily setup a 2-3 page microsite.
- Create a landing page tied to each campaign. It makes it easier to track the effectiveness of your efforts…and you want to do track them.
- Tell visitors what you want them to do. We’re damn indecisive and easily distracted–especially on our phones. You spent $$$ to bring us here, so tell us why and make it easy.
(And if you work for @KindestCutMN, contact me. I’m happy to help good causes.)
