Real results not just talk

There is a great deal of fundraising talk but much of it is theory and little of it is based on practical experience. When you work with Aristos you get results that are long-term, efficient, cost-effective and that will affect not only the way your donors perceive your organisation, but the way you do business. Inside-out-fundraising.

Growth Planning and Forecasting

We do more than just analyse data and present you with numbers. Our approach digs deep into your donobase to uncover trends in all 6 categories of donor lifecycle – where and why are donors leaving. Looking at donor loyalty and value we can pinpoint areas of your fundraising programme that need addressing and how. Highly practical and applied analysis that works.

We are then able to project forward to give you an accurate indication of gross income, net income and cost forecast for the future. And by adjusting the key growth factors such as acquisition, fundraising investment, and many others, we can develop endless scenarios, one of which will form the basis of your financial planning and future growth.

Creative that gets results

Ultimately the best creative not only reflects your charity brand, but gets results. This means that what you ‘like’ or ‘don’t like’ becomes unimportant and what your donors respond to becomes primary. With some of the leading creative brains in the sector, our work is fresh, based on experience and focused on getting results.

High-level donor fundraising

Aristos is one of the few fundraising agencies to specialise in the development of the upper part of the donor file. We have more than 15 years’ experience of identifying the right donors, developing the right approaches to these higher value people within your file. For one charity we have recently increased their average gift by a factor of more than 10 by targeting and asking appropriately to this audience.

Online and Offline

There are online agencies. And there offline agencies. The days of traditional direct mail response are rapidly disappearing and we are now in a world where online response is the result of offline activity. And vice versa. So much so, that soon the very phrases ‘offline’ and ‘online’ will become redundant. We are going to have to define direct marketing activity in different terms.

Until that time, what we do at Aristos is to plan, create, execute, analyse and re-plan. Without the artificial ‘online’ and ‘offline’ silos.

Lower Costs

Aristos is a virtual fundraising agency. Unlike other agencies, we have no major overheads, yet we work with the best fundraising professionals in the sector; planners, copywriters, analysts, creative directors, project managers, designers – all specialists who deliver on-target creative which gets the best results at lower cost.
