Interesting thoughts and data on the Eclipse fundraising program:

It raises an interesting question - how much does the FoG campaign net?
How much has it cost us in gifts & postage for that $26K? Do you think
the gifts help pull people up to the next donor level, or is someone who
wants to give 50 dollars give 50 dollars?

Another interesting thing for me is whether the levels are a net benefit
or deficit to us - if we had a $100 button, would we get more than half
the people who click at $50 upgrading? We'd undoubtedly get some of the
$50 people jumping to $100 when they wouldn't go to $250, but when do we
hit the paradox of choice, where the number of donors will go down if we
have too many levels to choose from?

So many interesting questions...

Cheers,
Dave.
