Case Study Previews
Midlevel Donor Campaign
CRU
“What can we do to engage our midlevel donors?” This is the question Cru Campus asked us … and the resulting creative, think-outside-the-box campaign BBS developed centered on one of Cru’s most successful outreaches of the year: Freshman Survival Kits. Our idea? Send midlevel donors a proposal to help fund the outreach — but mailed inside a water bottle! Here are the results…
Direct Mail Campaign
Food for the Hungry
Food for the Hungry came to BBS looking for a way to make sure their end-of-year proposal — to save the lives of children in crisis — not only stood out in the mail, but also really spoke to the hearts of their most generous partners. We sent their high-impact donors a puzzle as a gift — and a tangible reminder of their unique and valuable role in the ministry. See what God did through this innovative strategy…
7.17 ROI Fundraising Appeal
OneHope

Just four days later, we dropped a powerful Hurricane Irma Urgent Gram (mailings that produced 5 to 10 times normal ROIs). Thanks to such agile fundraising, boots were on the ground very quickly. Here’s how it happened…
Major Donor Gratitude
Shared Hope International
When Shared Hope International celebrated 16 years of bringing restoration to adults and children victimized by sex trafficking, they asked BBS to develop a gift these major donors could take home — reflecting both the impact of their exceptional partnership and Shared Hope’s gratitude. The beautiful booklet we created did just that…
