Are you using the right strategies for this diverse generation? We all hear countless theories about millennials and their needs, desires, and ways to reach them. But in reality, only 40% of those born during the millennial years (1981-1997) self-identify as being part of the millennial generation. Here’s the thing…it will take nuanced and thoughtful communication strategies to reach across this diverse group and create meaningful and successful engagement for your organization. 

In this lively morning conversation presented by Katie Price, Partner at Design BIG Dreams, LLC and Spark Community, we will look at subgroups within the millennial population, understand their behavior, and learn how to effectively and efficiently engage these potential supporters.

You’ll leave with new peer relationships and four key takeaways:

#1 - How to identify millennial subgroups, from capturing their data to sustaining their interest 

#2 - How to plan and prepare appeals for different millennial subgroups

#3 - How to create a communication and fundraising plan for the year that engages and analyzes these subgroups in the most cost-effective way 

#4 - How to identify and quantify millennial social value into your organization
