Once
you have set up a Payroll Giving scheme you need
to make it a success. To do this you need to run
regular promotions to maintain awareness and continue
to recruit new donors.
The 10together team
will be happy to come to your premises (if you are
based in South Bedfordshire) and run a free promotion
where your staff can find out more and arrange to
donate if they wish. They will also be happy to
provide literature or help with emails if you would
like to promote that way so contact the Partnerships
Officer on 01525 850559 to arrange now.
If you decide to
run one on your own here are some tips:
- organise promotional
days where your staff can find out more information
about the scheme and can sign up then and there.
- enclose promotional material
in induction packs ensuring that new staff are
aware of the scheme - 10together are happy to
supply you with brochures
- invite charities your staff
are involved with to run Payroll Giving Promotions
- consider matching your employees’
donations and, if you decide to do so, publicise
this to your employees as it can be a powerful
incentive.
- promote regularly in newsletters,
emails and staff meetings - promoting the benefits.
- try to recruit a committed
group of staff volunteers; they can be invaluable
in promoting schemes to their peers.
- package Payroll Giving with
any other community involvement initiatives.
- thank your employees and celebrate
their contributions. Use your success stories
as a positive PR opportunity.
