How a more empathetic messaging approach in an email solicitation can affect response rate
Experiment ID: #1346
The Heritage Foundation
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 12/29/2014 - 12/30/2014
With a little over two days left before the end of the year, Heritage Foundation email subscribers had received six different messages from Jim DeMint– the president of the organization– asking for their support with a year-end gift. Best practices suggest that the email signer should be the most publicly know leader of the organization, and should rarely (if ever) change to ensure donors hear a consistent voice. Heritage tested that theory by sending an email from someone else in the organization.
Research Question
How does a softer, more empathetic tone from a more believable email sender affect email response rate?

Results
| Treatment Name | Revenue per Visitor | Relative Difference | Confidence | Average Gift | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C: | Jim Demint Sender | $0.03 | $66.18 | ||
| T1: | New Signer | $0.14 | 380.7% | 98.8% | $134.70 |

Flux Metrics Affected

0% increase in traffic
× 136.2% increase in conversion rate
× 103.5% increase in average gift
380.7% increase in revenue
