What is the value of a Phone Append?
Phone appends can be a valuable tool for organizations looking to implement text-to-give or phonathon campaigns. By enhancing your records with phone numbers, you can open up your constituent records for alternate forms of communication outside of only email.
A well-timed text can create effective engagement from new donors, alumni, or other supporters for your organization! If this sounds aligned with your goals, a phone append may be right for you.
How do Phone Appends by Double the Donation work?
Double the Donation offers phone appends through single file transfers. Your team will securely share a CSV file of your list to our team, which we'll then update with the appended phone numbers.
What data points does Double the Donation need to perform a Phone Append?
The more information your organization can provide to Double the Donation for a phone append, the better the data we can return! Every data point you provide gives our team additional information we can use for verification and accuracy scoring.
When performing an append, we generally request the following:
- Unique Identifier Number
- First Name
- Last Name
- Address
- City
- Zip Code
- Email address / Email domain
- (if available) Maiden Name / Previous Name
- (if available) Age / Date of Birth / Year of Birth
If not all of the above are available, not to worry! Let us know what you're able to provide and we'll work with your existing list to perform an append.
What data points should I NOT include?
To minimize clean up time for our data team, we ask that you do not simply pull an export of your CRM records as-is and send to us.
Please refrain from adding any data points not in the list above for your append. Before sending your file to us, make sure there are no additional columns and make sure all included columns come with a column title/header so our team can easily determine the type of data in the column.
If the above guidelines are not met, our team may request you re-submit your file.
What is Double the Donation's pricing for a Phone Append?
Double the Donation offers custom quotes for your desired volume of records. In your conversation with our team, let us know the estimates of how many records you'd like appended and we'll create a customized quote for you based on your needs.
