Introduction

Introduction

Introduction

The Songs of Love Foundation is a nonprofit that writes songs for kids with medical challenges. They make each song unique and personal, with lyrics about the child's favourite things. They also have events where people can record songs for kids.


John Beltzer started “Songs of Love” in 1996 to write songs for sick kids. He wrote his first song for a 5-year-old cancer patient named Brittany. Brittany loved the song, and John knew that he had found his calling. The name of the foundation came from a song written by John's twin brother Julio, who died two months after writing it. John wanted to honour his brother's memory by continuing his work of writing songs for sick kids.


This is a brief presentation of the case study and a complete version is available upon request.

We wanted to update the website’s navigation bar and site map, so users can more easily find what they need. To do this, we conducted three rounds of tree testing.


During a tree test, participants see a simplified navigation bar. This navigation bar mirrors the underlying site map. For each task, the participant is prompted to choose which page will contain certain information. 


Round 1: Tested the existing website’s navigation bar.


Rounds 2 and 3: Used the previous round’s feedback to create and test updated site maps/navigation bars. We also added some tasks to evaluate new or updated items, based on the previous participants’ feedback.

Marketing Campaign

To make Songs of Love a successful foundation long-term, a proper marketing campaign has to be implemented. These campaigns are significant in creative content and UX strategy.


By defining the stories, and telling them to the right audience, it will be easy to grab their attention, boost brand awareness and establish strong relationships.

To build a strong marketing campaign, we considered a few key points:

  • Discover their unique standpoint.

  • Clear definition of the target audience.

  • Illustrate what the organisation will offer.

  • Create brand elements that grab user attention.

  • Build the organisation’s brand awareness.

Defined Audience

Defined Audience

To have a clearer understanding of the target audience, we had to make sure they are described correctly. The foundation helps ailing children and teens, as well as songwriters and musicians. The only difference is that children and teens are the primary beneficiaries while musicians and songwriters are both secondary beneficiaries and supporters.


With that in mind, we narrowed our target audience to:

  • Donors (primary audience)

  • Philanthropists

  • Musicians

  • Parents

  • Music enthusiasts

  • Prospect donors

  • Global community

Branding

One of the main goals in ensuring Songs of Love’s successful marketing campaign was to build brand awareness.  Branding will be an essential component in their foundation as it will highlight their proposal or ask while building trust with the target audience. We performed card sorting, content inventory, tree-jack tests, and created new site maps. The data from our research was then used to back up our design decisions. These decisions include proposals for the website redesign, social media marketing, branding guidelines and a User Interface (UI) design system.

To keep up with the trends, this plan will look at the use of technology to:

  • Build relations with stakeholders through newsletters and maintaining transparency and open communication.

  • Find valuable partners who share the same vision as Songs of Love.

  • Determine the best medium for outreach i.e social media, emails or phone calls.

  • Use statistics and emotional connection to create interest.

  • Initiate a soft launch to fix errors, get feedback and build traction.

Relations with stakeholders

Relations with stakeholders

We encourage the foundation to maintain transparency and open communication with its donors through emails and newsletters (loveletters). Since donors offer monetary support and have connected emotionally with Songs of Love, maintaining that connection is crucial. The newsletters will provide donors with updates and any problems or concerns the organisation might be facing.


It is important to create events that celebrate milestones and honour the donors and everyone involved for their contribution. Being openly supportive goes a long way in building relationships and it reminds people why they support Songs of Love. In special cases where events are difficult to conduct, consider sending gifts or notes of appreciation to all donors.

Medium of Outreach

To reach donors, we need to understand how they prefer to communicate. From our research, we discovered that social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok) and emails are the most effective ways to reach them. To get started, here are a few things to consider:

Donor profile: Collect information about donors, such as their identity, how they operate, where they spend time, their motivations, and their language. Every detail is important, so make sure to capture everything.

Budget: Sometimes it is necessary to pay for some marketing packages to get traffic on social media. If this is the case, focus on mediums frequented by the target audience (donors).

Learning from competitors: Observe their social media channels, the type of posts they produce and their performance to understand the market.

Soft Launch

Soft Launch

After finishing the outreach plan, we advised the client to launch the campaign to a small group of supporters to get feedback. Consider asking the following questions in the feedback:


  • What is their first impression of the campaign? Why? 

  • Is the message clear and easy to understand? 

  • Does it inspire them to engage with the organisation?

  • Do they feel any emotional connection towards the campaign? What emotions come to the surface?

  • Do they have any suggestions that would improve the campaign? What are they?


A soft launch can help a campaign fix bugs, build momentum, and spread awareness. Supporters who test the pre-launched campaign will feel more attached to it, and new donors will be more likely to donate once they see momentum.
