How does following up a direct mail renewal note with an email impact conversions
Experiment ID: #171182
Pathway to Victory
Experiment Summary
Ended On: 03/04/2024
Pathway to Victory is the broadcast ministry of First Dallas.
6 times a year, PTV puts out Pathway Magazine. A resource that includes daily devotionals for 2 months, articles by Dr. Jeffress and opportunities to learn about PTV’s newest books.
An individual can sign up to receive 3 free issues of Pathway Magazine, but on the 3rd issue, PTV attaches a message that this is the last issue unless a missional gift of $20 is made to support PTV.
The effectiveness of this note has been minimal, therefore we decided to test to see if a follow-up email would generate additional renewals.
Research Question
We believe that by sending a follow up email for Pathway Magazine subscribers that are ready for renewal will achieve a higher conversion rate because this is an additional touch point to the direct mail note.

Key Learnings
The key learning from this A/B experiment conducted by Pathway to Victory is that sending a follow-up email to Pathway Magazine subscribers who are due for renewal significantly increased donations compared to the traditional direct mail note. The treatment group, which received the follow-up email, experienced a 132.1% increase in donations with a 99.2% statistical level of confidence.
This experiment demonstrates the importance of utilizing multiple touchpoints to engage with subscribers and donors. By incorporating email communication as a follow-up to direct mail efforts, organizations like Pathway to Victory can enhance donor retention and increase overall engagement.
Key points of this experiment.
- Only contacts with email addresses were included in the experiment
- Donations are all donations given either through direct mail or email
- Treatment saw 17 gifts through direct mail, 12 gifts through email, and 1 donor contributed via email and direct mail for this appeal
