We wanted to see what would happen if we revised some of our most famous, winning phrases: “If everyone reading this gave $3, we could keep Wikipedia thriving for years to come. The price of your coffee this Thursday is all we need.”</p> <p>A Metro ticket was suggested by our translators and community members as an alternative, universal daily item to replace coffee, and it performed as well as the coffee phrase. We are always particularly excited when finding successes that help us make our language more localized and appealing to specific audiences, and we will continue to work on similar improvements in all of the countries where we fundraise.</p> <p><span class="subhead">How did we get those amazing mobile gains?</span> </p> <p>We nearly doubled the amount we raised from mobile banner donations from 2016 to 2017. As mentioned earlier in this report, we launched the mobile campaign earlier than in prior years, allowing more readers to view mobile banners which, in turn, increased donations. However, our mobile donation rate is still half the donation rate of our desktop banners, so there is certainly room for improvement and growth.</p> <p>Changes to the design and message of the banners also contributed significantly to the increase in mobile donations. A fresh idea from our team’s designer was to make the banner appear as if we were sending the reader a text message. Paired with more copy and an improved interface, the new mobile concept resulted in a 40% improvement to our donation rate.</p> <p>The most obvious change is the length of the copy; it’s nearly twice as long. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this content, pulled from our desktop and email campaigns, resonated with readers. We even re-tested shorter and different varieties of copy to ensure that people were, in fact, reading the content, and that it moved them to donate. We found, as we often do, that genuine messages from real people work.
