Why outsourcing response handling saves time, protects data, and improves outcomes 

  • You’ve launched the campaign. 
  • The message is strong. 
  • Your audience is engaged. 
  • And the responses are rolling in. 

Now what?

For many organisations, the post-campaign phase can quickly become overwhelming: 

  • Opening hundreds (sometimes thousands) of envelopes 
  • Sorting cheques, postal orders, and card payments 
  • Manually entering supporter details 
  • Logging issues and inconsistencies 
  • Trying to stay compliant with GDPR and data standards 

It’s more than just admin, it’s a serious investment of time, energy, and internal resources. 

🧠 The reality of in-house response handling 

Still handling responses internally? You’re probably: 

  • Pulling your team away from their normal day-to-day 
  • Reducing priority on supporter follow-up 
  • Managing potential errors and inconsistent processes 
  • Missing re-engagement opportunities 
  • Extra pressure on staff and resources 

It can be reactive, time-consuming, and often chaotic. 
That’s where Mango comes in. 

🧡 We manage the response, so you can focus on your organisation 

At Mango, our Response Handling service takes care of everything, from the moment a supporter posts a reply to the moment the donation is processed and logged. 

We work quickly, securely, and in full alignment with your campaign goals, giving you peace of mind, cleaner data, and more time to plan what’s next.
