More than half said they prefer to give online. </p> <p>It appears that many charity Web sites are not meeting their potential. Only 48% of respondents said that most charity Web sites are well-designed, with 40% saying that most charity sites are inspiring. </p> <p>Charities should not be shy about connecting with donors by e-mail. Nearly three-quarters said it was appropriate to receive an e-mail reminder to renew their gift, while another 74% said they were more likely to give again if they received an e-mail letting them know how their money was spent.</p> <p><br />Article source: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.emarketer.com">www.emarketer.com</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> </main></body></html>
