Okay. That makes things easier anyway.

 We've seen
 people get confused (and upset) when they notice that the donation
 continues indefinitely, perhaps because the standard is just a year. 
FWIW: We have 121 subscriptions, 50 of which are younger than a year,
leaving 71 which are older than a year. I interpret that as the people
being happy with the non-expiring subscriptions.

It's a big pain to get hold of that data though. And Paypal doesn't give
me the details used when the donors was checking out, like who she wants
to receive a postcard from.

 That said, I'd love to send a gift to all of our subscribers that have
 been with us for two years or more. Perhaps ebassi and muelli, together
 with gpoo might be able to pool all the data to do this?
 
hm. As far as I've found out it's not possible to get the data straight
from Paypal (see above). And to only get the address, I'd have to click
at least twice for each subscription in Paypal's webinterface. I'm not
going to do that. In the special case of donors sticking for more than
two years, it might be feasible though as it's ~35 donors. I can send
you their details, if you want.

If we wanted to send postcards to everyone staying for longer than a
year, getting hold of the emails that Paypal sent and parsing them might
be an option. Rosanna might have an archive.

I found the best way to get the data and collate it was through the emails
that paypal sends out.

CiviCRM handles donors and gifts really well too.

FWIW, I have written smth that nags adoptable hackers to send a
postcard. So if you are a hacker to adopt, expect mail to hit you at
some stage.

However, my data goes back until October 2012. I don't know when the
last postcard was processed. So it is advisable to keep track of who you
send a postcard to.

The system itself is here: https://hg.cryptobitch.de/gnome-paypal/ and
it's meant to be non-invasive in the sense that it doesn't eat data.
Everything is preserved and if anything else wants to consume the data
Paypal exports, like a CRM system, that shouldn't really be a problem.

 Maybe we should revisit this system
That's a good idea. Does anyone have a history of how the current
program was formed?

I propose something like to send the postcard after a few months, not
right after the donation happened. Because right after the donation, the
donor gets a thank-you email. And after 12 months or so, a gift. And the
postcard might be something nice to have in between, to keep the donor
in the loop.

Other than that, the whole subscription story is a massive pain to keep
track of. There are many complicated cases like the subscription failing
due to expired credit cards and people signing up again. While this is
good, it creates confusion as to whether to send a gift.

And the send after a year rule we currently have doesn't make much
sense to me. Do we do it so that the donor gets something right before
the period ends so that she is happy to continue? We don't even have a
yearly option at the moment :-\
I guess we do it to not lose money, i.e. by sending a gift to a one
month donor. But then I don't think a 50 USD per month donor has to wait
as long as a 5 USD per month donor.

I think other organizations have you sign up for a year and then give you
the opportunity to renew or otherwise the subscription cancels. We've seen
people get confused (and upset) when they notice that the donation
continues indefinitely, perhaps because the standard is just a year. I
believe CiviCRM is set up to handle this kind of subscription donation
well (as a membership program). We could try to segway over to CiviCRM
for all new donations and use scripts like the one you wrote to handle the
old ones without disrupting them. It is tough to maintain two systems but
it may make sense, since the existing subscriptions basically require no
action by us after a year an our obligations would transition over to
CiviCRM.

That said, I'd love to send a gift to all of our subscribers that have
been with us for two years or more. Perhaps ebassi and muelli, together
with gpoo might be able to pool all the data to do this?

muelli, thank you so much for all of your work on this - it's great to be
able to send the postcards out and thank the people who are so amazing to
support us.

Re: Revisiting rewards for the FoG campaigns

2013-02-14 Thread Stormy Peters
I haven't gotten any requests either in well over a year. I know that
sending out the requests is a manual process. I think Emmanuele owns it
right now.

I went to see if there was still a way to select a person to send a
postcard (there is) and I have a few other pieces of feedback.

* There's no donate button on this page: http://www.gnome.org/friends/.
You have to choose Become a Friend or pick a level. I don't think that's
obvious.
* If I pick the Donate Now button at the top of the page, it takes me to
the same page.

I think if we do away with the levels, we can do away with the adopt a
hacker/postcard idea. It's only relevant to developers or people who know
the community, not to all donors.

Hi all,

So, additionally to the mockup Andreas posted, we also worked together 
on a mockup specific to the FoG campaign. We think, right now, the 
campaign and the program are treated as the same thing and this somehow 
de emphasizes both initiatives.


Our idea is that, during the campaign months, the design Andreas 
presented could be replaced by something like this: 
http://imgur.com/cIBBWmF . Goal is to focus the design on the content 
(motivation and goals) that is particular to the campaign.

$25 is the lowest Associate value, ie, the lowest you can give for 
getting something back.

$50 is the pre-filled value for Associate.
$100 does nothing in particular (it's just a nice number?)
$500 This is the Sponsor level.

Looking at the data above, it looks like the level system don't really work.
What if we just made it freeform and gave a gift to everyone above $25?

Re: Revisiting rewards for the FoG campaigns

Does anyone remember when it was revamped?  The levels used to be:
$10 - Friend  (mousepad)
$25 - Associate  (mug)
$50 - Benefactor  (t-shirt)
$250 - Sponsor
$500 - Patron

but it was decided that that was too many options, especially when we
added the subscription format.  Also, considering the postage, the price
points were too low.

Apologies if I'm not being clear, I am very muddle-headed with a head
cold right now.  Let me know if I can help provide any other numbers
that may be relevant.

While it's goog to be aware of this, I think it's important to underline 
that people aren't buying a t-shirt - not even a special edition t-shirt 
they can't get anywhere else. They're helping the foundation, and we set 
the price points not to make a margin of 10% or 20% or whatever, we set 
the price points to raise money for the foundation.


Incidentally, typical margin for garments on the internet is somewhere 
between 100% and 150% of cost. Excl. delivery costs.

Wow, that is really fascinating, and not at all what I would have
expected. It would be really interesting to try that experiment.
Anecdotally, I've found that a suggested donation amount as the default
gets a bad reaction no matter what, but that set levels don't have that
affect. It kind of makes sense that a blank field might not have the
downsides of a suggested donation amount but allow people to think about
giving more.

Also attached is data about the origin of the donations, in percent. Not

We see that the majority of our donations comes from Europe, probably
from people having a bank (and paypal) account in EUR rather than USD.
We, however, accept money in USD via paypal only. In order to optimise
our costs, we should look into how to receive money in EUR. It should be
straight forward to make the Paypal donations arrive in EUR if the donor
has a EUR account.

Yeah, I can imagine. I have the data at hand but I'm not willing to 
share it in it's raw form. I am actually planning on sharing some 
statistics reg. the country of origin of the donations. But I will not 
be able to do that for the rest of this year.
If you have any query to the data, give it to me and I will try my best 
to shoot it at the data.

Hallo! o/

Well, I think that the percentage of each category in the previous FoG is good 
to know in order to evaluate if we must change the categories. Also, if 
possible, the aritmethic mean of each category can help 

Cheers,

No really, because I don't have data to figure out what is best for us. It 
can be useful to know the range of donations in previous campaign to have a 
good decision.
Anyway, this can be a new categorization:

no reward category for donations fore less than US$  10 (in order to 
stimulate micro contributions)

stickers US$ more US $10 - up to 25 (+postal outside United States?)

stickers + mouse pad + recognition  more US$25 - up to 500 (+postal outside 
United States? )

stickers + mouse pad + coffe mug + FoG exclusive t-shirt +  recognition   more 
US$ 500 - 1200

stickers + mouse pad + coffe mug + FoG exclusive t-shirt +  GNOME Foot print 
signed by the Board of Directors + recognition  more US$ 1200

stickers +  hacker signed postcard + LWN subscription  + recognition of your 
contribution + FoG T-Shirt (after the 1st year)  US$  10/month


Maybe also makes sense to lower the threshold of the bigger rewards, in case 
they hasn't been very successful in the past:

 500 = 150 and 1200 = 600

Revisiting rewards for the FoG campaigns

2012-11-28 Thread Juanjo Marín
Hi !

I think maybe is good idea to revisit our rewards.


What we have now is:
Associate: US $25-$500

= GNOME mouse pad + stickers + recognition of your contribution


Sponsor: US $500-$1200

= coffee mug + T-Shirt  + recognition of your contribution

Philantropist: US $1200+

= print of the GNOME foot signed by the Board + recognition of your 
contribution

Adopt a hacker: US $10/month= stickers +  hacker signed postcard + LWN 
subscription  + recognition of your contribution + T-Shirt (after the 1st 
year)  [AFAIK, the low figure here is for making be FoG affordable to people 
from all countries ]

I think FoG campaigns are similar to the popular crowdfunding campaigns on 
sites like kickstarter or IndieGoGo and we can learn from them. For example,  
we could add more rewards options and even those rewards can be related to 
topic of the campaign. 

Just thinking loud :-)
