MUTH’S TRUTHS

CASE STUDY: Michele Tafoya’s Fundraising Email Is a Masterclass in What NOT to Do

I recently dissected a real fundraising email from Michele Tafoya’s U.S. Senate campaign in Minnesota – a major statewide race with millions of dollars at stake and a celebrity candidate.

And they STILL got the most basic thing wrong.

That ought to make every candidate feel a little better.

Because if a big-money Senate campaign with paid consultants, strategists, media people, and fundraising “experts” can screw this up…

You shouldn’t beat yourself up if your fundraising emails aren’t exactly setting the world on fire either.

The good news?

This new Special Report shows you EXACTLY where the email went wrong.
