Update Emails!

So you've set up your Campaign page, sent an initial email to your donors, and now you're wondering what the next step in our Campaign will be. The answer? Update emails!

Update emails to your community serve a few purposes:
1. They show the people who have donated to your Campaign that you're actually making progress!
2. They keep you accountable to the people who have donated
3. They allow your friends and family to stay updated on how well you're doing
4. You can continue to ask for donations and support
5. Your friends and family can, in response, continue to make fun of you, support you, etc.

We have a couple of examples on the website here, and here's a short one I whipped up in about 5 minutes:


Subject: Official I Think I Can Campaign UPDATE!

Dear Faithful Campaign Supporters-

It’s been a great week for ITIC-ing! I went to the gym three times this week, made a new workout playlist. Just so you know, I have an extended version of this post, plus pictures, at my campaign page (link to campaign)

Other great news is that I also got Andrea and Tim to do campaigns along with me! We’re going to be sweatin’ it together! Check out their campaign pages (link to your friends pages, if they have them).

Another tidbit I’ve learned this week: The steam room is my best friend.

And here are my most recent stats:
Donations: 45
Total raised: $750

Thanks for everything, and if you’ve been saving up for that extra special time to donate to my campaign, I think this is it!
