Legacy advertising
Submitted by sarahwalsh on 21 April, 2008 - 16:13.
We currently advertise in The Law Society Gazette and Charity Choice publications. Can anyone suggest any other good publications to advertise for legacies? Thanks Sarah.

Legacy ads in charity directories
Hello Sarah,
I agree with Gerry's comments. Why waste money when you only really need to have one entry per year in the Law Society's Gazzette? That one entry should only be the minimal text entry with your logo in monochrome.
The only people who use these books are solicitors looking up your charity's details to make sure they have the right name, address and registration number.
People who go to make a Will generally know before they go who they want to include. Solicitors are more likely to suggest local charities if people aren't prepared, as the people are more likely to know them.
The cost of entries in all these directories is a waste of resources that could be better targeted at the people you need to be getting your message across to.
Hope that help?
Regards
Graham

Legacy Advertising
Hi, Sarah
You don't say who you're working for.
I've always thought it strange that we are encouraged to lose our Legacy advertising in a sea of similar adverts from other deserving causes - makes it very difficult to stand out from the crowd!
When I had a legacy campaign to run, such publications brought in a whole 0 responses; the successful ads were either in our own regular letters and publications to supporters or in publications aimed at our constituency - a church, in that case.
And I've always struggled with the idea that the main legacy market is among people who have no prior connection with the charity - the key market, it seems to me, is people who are aware, and probably engaged with, your charity.
Current Legacy specialists are more than welcome to jump in with evidence that I'm out of date!
Cheers
Gerry
