Build Relationships with Your Supporters: How to Say Thank You

For those in the know, for not-for-profit organisations and businesses, thanking your supporters, customers, and donors is one of the most important actions you can undertake to strengthen relationships and grow the support for the organisation. 

Why Say Thanks? 

Not-For-Profits 

For a Not-For-Profit organisation, thanking your supporters and donors helps to build ongoing relationships with your supporter base, helping you grow and retain donors who will come back and support your organisation time and again. By maximising your existing relationships, you’ll be able to maximise your fundraising to further support your organisation. 

Businesses 

While different to not-for-profit organisations, saying thanks to your supporters is a powerful tool to build strong relationships with those supporters and build up brand loyalty for the future. Building this relationship with your supporters not only improves your business outcomes from one person but from their network as they share with their community the positives of your business. 

How to Say Thank You? 

For organisations wanting to extend the relationships with their supporters, there are many ways to say thanks, from small messages to high-quality merchandise, let’s take a look at different ways to say thanks.  

Messages and Communication 

Sending a short message, either digitally, or going the extra mile and sending a handwritten note, are a great way to express your thanks to supporters. By taking the time to let them know that your organisation is grateful to them, your supporters will feel valued, helping to strengthen the relationship going forward.
