| Research question and motivation
My research question examines whether the effects known from behavioral economics can be applied in non-profit organizations marketing communication and help increase the effectivity of fundraising. In particular, I am going to implement some changes into mainly online communication of few Czech non-profit organizations and watch the change in amount of money donated per a given time unit. To be specific, some examples of heuristics I am going to use are anchoring effect (anchoring one´s mind to a number) or social proof effect (showing statistics on how many people have donated in a week etc.) The other part of my research includes questionnaires given to donators which will show further motivation for the charity donations and socio-demographic factors affecting donations. Behavioral economics, recently popularized by Thaler´s “Nudge” and Kahneman´s “Thinking fast and slow,” is quickly developing and companies start to use its effects in their marketing strategies. However, non-profit sector still provides a huge potential for using heuristics and biases of human brain to influence more people to behave in altruistic manner and donate more money for charitable purposes. Contribution The thesis aims to provide some new perspectives on marketing communication and the results can be applicable across the Czech non-profit sector and help other organizations to innovate their marketing strategies for practically zero cost. The experiments should also correspond with existing literature related to the topic or similar research conducted in other countries before. Methodology I am going to conduct a comparative analysis, evaluating previous and current statistics on how many people donate to the particular organization, what is the frequency of donations, how many people decide to join regular donators club etc. I am going to compare the data before and after the implementation of behavioral economy effects. Also, I am going to evaluate the questionnaires given to donators. Outline 1. Introduction 2. Theoretical background: behavioral economics, its development and practical use in marketing 3. Brief characterization of cooperating non-profit organizations and their current marketing communication 4. The experiments and its evaluation 5. The questionnaires and its evaluation 6. Conclusion: discussion on statistical and practical importance, further application of the results 7. Appendix (statistical data, results presented graphically) |
