Strategic Marketing & Fundraising Plans for Your Camp

LET'S TALK

FACT: Your Camp Absolutely NEEDS a Strategic Marketing & Fundraising Plan.

Most camp and retreat leaders, like yourself, spend time setting annual goals. You share those goals with your teams and everyone works hard in their own area to try to affect the outcome.

Sometimes you reach those goals, and sometimes you don’t. More often than not, you may not even be clear about the reasons for your success or failure. When this is true, you are guessing what you should or shouldn’t do in the future.

You can do so much better! Imagine what you could be doing if you had strategic, comprehensive marketing and fundraising plans. You could more consistently reach those goals and, perhaps, even make them bigger!

So, Why Not Just Do It?

Marketing and Fundraising Planning is easier said than done. It takes intentional time and focus to create strong plans. It also takes a specific type of expertise that you may or may not have on your team.

Frankly, you need experts to help make this happen so that your plans have strong tactics that we know will work, paired with innovative new approaches that may just help you break through the clutter in front of constituents every single day. 

That’s why we have joined forces to provide you with a comprehensive plan that meets all these needs for your program marketing and fundraising communications.

Camp Amnicon

“In the six years since we first worked with Brenda, Camp Amnicon has more than doubled our individual gifts, nearly tripled our annual gift fund, and more than doubled our camper scholarship fund.

When we invited Brenda to help us with our fundraising planning, the overall situation of our organization and our donor base seemed bleak. 

After she spent time understanding our specific situation and context, the detailed and actionable steps she provided were immensely valuable. However, the even greater impact she provided was the confidence that the capacity of our donors was enough for our organization to be sustainable – we just had to get to work.”

Emily Tveite

Lutheran Campus Ministry Madison

“The best part of working with [Brenda’s team] was figuring out how I would make sense of fundraising in my context that was realistic with the time I have. I could see the results which helped me take risks and try new things.

When I stepped into the Executive Director role I didn’t know the ministry’s donors. But through reviewing the metrics, establishing a solid strategy, and visiting donors, I have a much better sense of all that’s possible. Brenda also helped the board envision priorities and claim their important role in the fundraising process.”

Travis Aufderheide

Green Lake Bible Camp

“Within the first year, our retreat income increased by 10% and we are already on track to exceed our goals for year two. Working with Tic Tac Toe Marketing was absolutely the right choice. Tic Tac Toe Marketing helped us realize true results. The good news of the work we are doing is spreading faster than we could have hoped for.

Luther Crest

"Luther Crest was about to experience the largest transition that the organization had seen in over 15 years. With an outgoing Executive and Program Director, the organization needed to focus inward on strategy and mission to move forward. That was going to take our staff's time and energy. We needed help bridging this transition, and we needed help that would match our organization's culture, commitment, and striving for excellence. Tic Tac Toe Marketing was the team for the job. Casey and Carter were dedicated partners who provided us with just what we needed! They offered us tailored marketing plans and strategies and never let communication at Luther Crest slip through the cracks. We couldn't have crossed this bridge without Tic Tac Toe!"
