Strive Messaging’s latest call tool feature allows your members to call in and leave you a voicemail message! Prompt supporters to share their stories and testimonials by triggering a call over text, or calling into your call number. Here are 4 ways to use this powerful feature:
‍

1. Storytelling and Impact Sharing

Ask supporters to share personal stories of how the nonprofit's work has impacted them or their community. These stories can be used in future fundraising campaigns or as content for newsletters or social media.

2. Supporter Feedback

Gather feedback from your subscribers on recent events, programs, or campaigns. It can also be a more accessible alternative for people who may not want to fill out a formal survey or provide feedback over text.

For example, ask supporters to leave messages about what they want to see more of, or how they felt about a recent event.

3. Donation Stories / Pledges

Invite supporters to call in with stories of why they pledge to donate. Voicemails can also be used to give supporters a platform to share why they support the nonprofit’s mission, motivating others to join the cause.

For special campaigns like Giving Tuesday, holiday drives, or fundraising events, prompt supporters to leave voicemails with their reasons for donating or participating.

4. “Ask Me Anything" or Q&A

Invite supporters to ask questions about your advocacy work. It could be an informal “ask me anything" format where staff or leadership answers questions left in voicemails. These calls could be shared as a way to further engage your list and provide transparency into your advocacy work.

‍

Tip: Once you have collected voice message testimonials, you can feature them on your website or share them out with your base over text or social media.
