Do you know with the power of 10 seconds we can change someone’s life? We all have a burning desire to make the world a better place. One fine day you are scrolling through your phone and suddenly you come across an urgent plea for help, from a nonprofit, and you wish to give.
As you click the “DONATE’‘ button, you see a long questionnaire pop up…Frustrating right? You tell yourself, “I’ll return to this when I have more time”.’But let’s be real, life gets busy, and that moment of wanting to help might slip away.
Today many nonprofits face this issue. If your giving process takes more than 10 seconds, you could lose out on a potential donor,
Here GiveCentral helps you to streamline and shorten your giving processes.
The 10-second game. Why does speed matter in giving?
Today we live in a world where everyone is busy. We all have a daily task where we strive hard to tick off everything by the end of the day. That is why speed matters.
If your donation process is lengthy, donors will lose interest and leave immediately. Those crucial 10 seconds can make all the difference between a successful contribution and a missed opportunity.
Let’s understand why simplifying the giving process is key to keeping donors engaged and ensuring their generosity is converted into actionable steps.
- Shorter attention span: We humans today have a very short attention span of 8-10 seconds. In that case, if a donor lands on your page and doesn’t see an easy way to complete the process, he/she may instantly leave your page.
- Impulsive giving habit: Many times donations are made impulsively. A short video message or a short story is enough to trigger emotions and motivate them to donate instantly. However, if the donation process is lengthy those triggered emotions might just fade out and they may leave your page instantly.
- Unfriendly mobile user interface: Today, most spontaneous buying is done via mobile apps. A similar pattern is observed in donations. If your donation page takes time to load or does not have a mobile-friendly user interface, the donor leaves instantly without any action. These are a few things that nonprofits must take note of while creating their donation pages.
- Establishes Trust: A smooth donation process shows professionalism and builds trust. This positive experience will encourage donors to donate in the future, and they are more likely to associate themselves with your organization’s other causes.
