Five Critical Elements of Effective Email Marketing for Nonprofits

Thanks to a constant flux of email messages, people are slammed with hundreds of messages every day. Look at your own inbox. Engaging a prospect or new supporter with an email message is a little like trying to grab a waiter’s attention at a busy restaurant.
