SYNOPSIS

Each year, Alaska shares revenue from its investments in mineral royalties with its residents. As residents apply for their money, they also get asked to donate to Alaska. So far this year they have raised over $3 million from over 33,000 Alaskans. In order to determine the core message for the campaign, the residents were split into two test groups. Both groups received a postcard with a different message.
