Steering our charitable giving

Our latest article, 'Playing on our behavioural heartstrings', was recently published in the Marketing Society blog.

Crawford Hollingworth, founder, The Behavioural Architects, discusses the hot and cold empathy gap in charitable giving and shares two examples of different but equally effective ways to bridge it - donating at the ATM and picking up a HOPE block at your local supermarket:

"We all know how important it is to find the right moment to ask someone to contribute to a charity.  We've all felt our hearts sink when we are in a rush walking down a street which is peopled by chuggers.  We can get bored of being stopped by them and feel guilty when we don't sign up or pay up.  But in these austere times charities have to work harder at identifying the right place, right time to ask." Click here to read about two new innovations to bridge this problem.
