Death isn’t easy
to talk about,
but we know how.

Legacy marketing support for charities

We’ve built our expertise in Legacy Marketing over the past 15 years, working with some of the biggest charities both in the UK and around the world.

We know how to recruit prospects, turn them into pledgers and retain them through engaging stewardship programmes.

Our approach

Successful Legacy Marketing is a combination of ‘always on’ activity and targeted campaigns.

We focus your budget on activity that prompts an action. It could be requesting more information, responding to a survey, offering an opinion or visiting a service.

Every action taken is a hand raised in interest. By maintaining engagement enquirers become prospects, prospects become considerers and considerers become pledgers.

Most legacies from supporters are unexpected.

Top tip: Before you do anything else, ask existing supporters if they have remembered your charity with a gift in their Will.
