🪄Donations Overlay: To ensure that the Donations Overlay appears correctly during your event, simply single-click it and wait for it to load before your event starts. This proactive step will help prevent any issues with the overlay not appearing as intended.
🪄Offer flexible giving options: A recent study found that 64% of donors welcome flexible giving options. Enable text-to-donate capabilities and share your fundraiser's URL, providing donors with multiple avenues to contribute based on their preferences.
🪄Consolidate your accounts: For easy access to your fundraiser's data after the event, consider using the same email account for both your Zoom and Pledge accounts. This allows you to conveniently access and analyze your fundraising data in the Pledge Impact Hub, streamlining your post-event analysis and reporting.
