Face-to-face fundraising for non-profit organisations
Booth campaigns, also known as face-to-face fundraising, are a reliable investment in the future of any non-profit organisation.
They make it possible to inform a wide audience about the organisation’s mission and significantly increase public awareness.
In addition, they help gain many loyal donors
Reaching young donors
Compared to other fundraising measures, face-to-face fundraising and Corris’ booth campaigns enable aid organisations to attract an astonishing number of young and loyal donors. 80 per cent of first-time donors donate several times, an exceptionally good result! Equally remarkable is the above-average amount of donations. In addition, many of the donors are in the target group of 18 to 30-year-olds, who are difficult to reach with traditional fundraising instruments. In this way, aid organisations receive a multiple return on every franc invested in the long term.
Motivated and authentic dialogue fundraisers
Our dialogue fundraisers – that’s what we call our staff at the info booths – are mostly young people who are currently in education, looking for a career change, or taking a gap year. We recruit this young target group through Google Ads, social media, and job platforms. A multi-stage selection process helps us identify the most suitable candidates, with particular emphasis on appearance, spontaneity, and communication skills. Comprehensive training in close cooperation with the partner organisation, along with regular monitoring by Corris, ensures that our fundraisers are well prepared for their conversations.
Strategic consulting
We advise our clients on campaign content, implementation, and product design.
We also provide reliable long-term forecasts of expected costs and revenue over several years. We handle the approval process, support the design and production of all campaign materials as needed, and assemble the ideal team of dialogue fundraisers.
Campaign managers work closely with coaches to oversee the progress of the face-to-face fundraising campaign and are responsible for training and motivating the fundraising team.
Transparent analyses
Our clients have exclusive access to their campaign results via Power BI, where they can view both qualitative and quantitative performance data at any time.
Ongoing, in-depth exchanges with regional managers and data experts during the campaign ensure that they always have a clear overview of costs, expected revenue, and outcomes. Each individual donation commitment is recorded in our database system, verified, corrected if necessary, and prepared for further processing.
The most comprehensive booth location database in Switzerland
With our booth location database—developed over 30 years and continuously updated—we create optimal campaign plans for non-profit organisations and NGOs.
This database includes all suitable and approved booth locations on both public and private property across Switzerland, along with contact persons for permits and detailed usage permissions. That includes how often and at what frequency a location may be used for booth campaigns by a non-profit organisation.
All relevant information, such as foot traffic data and all-weather suitability, is also recorded. For many private locations, we have exclusive usage agreements for fundraising campaigns.
