DEATH BY
PROGRESS BAR, ANOTHER SECRET REVEALED: The fundraising progress graphics that
indicate how much money has come during the drive are very popular. They can
help to speed the drive along. But they can backfire as well. What we are
finding at this point is that our readers do not help finish the drive when the
graphic appears near completion, they actually stop donating altogether. As a
result we have had 3 incomplete fundraisers in a row and now are forced to see
this one through. Positive action leads to a positive result. / Marc Ash -
