The current financial crisis is driving the world into a global recession. During these difficult financial times, the strength of your brand is your greatest asset. A great brand is familiar; it speaks of integrity, character, quality, effectiveness, and reliability. Even during difficult times, people still want to do good, but they can become far more selective in their giving. That's when a strong brand story can elevate your organization above the many other choices donors have today. It creates a powerful sense of trust.
The power of a brand story can be compelling because it shapes your perception in the eyes of your congregation, donors, and supporters.
But during difficult financial times, "Four P's" - product, price, place, and promotion are always important. Having the right product or organization in place, creating the right donation levels for your potential supporters, positioning your organization in the right media and the right places, and promoting your cause to convey a sense of urgency are all necessary in your strategy. But now more than ever, it's time to re-think the strength of your brand.

Financial risk evaluation and investment return
