Dear all,
The fundraising team genuinely hears and appreciates all the feedback we've
received about this mobile banner. For the past week and a half - for the
majority of our mobile campaign - we have been extensively working and

doesn't usually lead to more donations coming. At least, if it's more
aggressive than a certain threshold and I think these banners pass that
threshold by far.

As I mentioned in my original reply to Molly, Desktop page views have been

fundraising platform has historically been substantially lower

The fundraising message literally takes 4.5 screens that have to be
