Countdown to Build Momentum

A countdown to a fundraising event is a great way to build momentum and interest. This can be done a number of ways, including using your signage (if you have an electronic sign, you’re laughing here – it’s so easy!) which works well if you’re in a busy location.

It can also be done visually, and with so many groups having access to social media, this is a must do! Here is a set of images you can use for your event. Alternatively, create a set with your own event branding.

You can use this concept to also rally your last minute support – scroll down to see what I mean 🙂

Being a Canva fan (that amazing free graphic design tool that I raved about a while ago) – I highly recommend it to help you create your visual glory 🙂
