UK and US DKMS charities joined forces for their first ever Virtual Fundraising Gala using Good Thyngs.
How Digital Daffodils collected support during lockdown in 2020
Cancer Society, ANZ,TBWA/NZ and Good Thyngs partnered for a second year to enable cashless donations for the charity's ‘Daffodil Day’ campaign.Despite fundraising challenges and a last-minute lockdown for Auckland, people of NZ came together in new and powerful ways.
With a cashless and touch-free Digital Daffodil strategy prepared, donors were able to support the campaign safely. ANZ pledged to match public donations made using Digital Daffodils up to the value of $500,000.
The Digital Daffodil Solution
The Digital Daffodils have bloomed, following the success of 2019’s Smart Daffodil campaign, when wearable daffodil pins were able to take donations. In 2020, every daffodil deployed would be a donation point. Printable Digital Daffodils were uniquely designed and made interactive with QR codes.
They were deployed as posters, banners, website links and more. People of NZ were encouraged to download the posters to help collect crucial funds during lockdown.
Speaking good thyngs
"2020 has been a tough year for charities so by using donation touch points we are able to get the daffodil in front of as many people as possible. When we launched the Smart Daffodil last year, we wanted to disrupt fundraising. We did this by turning every pin wearing Daffodil Day donor into a fundraiser...
Fast forward a year and the idea of scanning QR codes on a daily basis is now highly adopted. We hope this means that by getting our Digital Daffodils placed all over Auckland we can help raise even more money this year."
