This offer is a proven winner for ministries. That is a fact that you can literally bank on. You have donors that love the idea of giving an extra gift to help carry ministries they love over the summer months. Your appeal affirms what they already know, but gives them the opportunity to respond. When you ask for a boost, they love to help. But you have to ask, or they’ll end up giving that gift to someone else who does ask. 

Our S.O.S. appeal combines a fun reminder that balances a sense of urgency with a fun, positive appeal. You’re not desperate, but donors already know ministries need extra help during these months. Those that ask properly and give an easy way to respond are the ones that get the money. Don’t leave this money on the table. It is yours for the asking!

This appeal is full of energy and will get the attention your appeal needs as donors get ready for summer. Our special patent-pending envelopes keep your ask/response form right with your return envelope.

You choose the package that works best for you. Order just the envelopes and include them in your newsletter, or get a complete direct-mail package with a beautiful full color #10 envelope to grab the attention of your donor. Our standard package includes a different envelope for each summer month, and because the appeal is attached to the envelope, they won’t get separated on their mail or bill pile (we call this tendency the LAW OF DESK DYNAMICS—the theory that two pieces of paper placed on a desk separate over time in proportion to the amount of time and importance of the content of the two pieces.

Pick from these options:

• FULL COLOR or ONE-COLOR REMIT SOS RETURN ENVELOPES. Get just the envelopes, or as a complete direct mail package.
• #10 Direct Mail package with a letter, response form, and standard #9 envelope
  (choose from a one-response option, or three return forms and three envelopes).
• You can even split your order so that active donors get the three-envelope version, and the rest of your list gets the least expensive 1-envelope response package.
