After crunching the results of the survey, we discovered many different types of online giver – and six key figures who kept appearing again and again.

We’ve already met affluent oldie Margaret, Rachel from the squeezed middle, and young starter Neil. The fourth of key six Donor Survey personas to be put under the spotlight is Jacqueline:

Jacqueline – wealthy professionals

15% of the respondents – 8.5% of the population

Jacqueline is the Director of Marketing at a leading publishing house.  She lives with her husband and their children, and she commutes into the city each day for work. Jacqueline has a fairly high standard of living, is debt-free and has paid off her mortgage.

At the weekend, Jacqueline likes nothing more than taking her family out to places of interest and cultural significance. They are planning on visiting the Hay-on-Wye Literature Festival this year.

She is a moderate user of Facebook and Twitter, but she finds LinkedIn very useful for work. She regularly sponsors friends through online giving websites, and uses Give as you Live whenever she shops online.

Shops she visits online include: Ocado, British Airways, John Lewis, Amazon, M&S, House of Fraser, Eurostar, Interflora, Next, Waitrose, and Emirates Airlines.

The Donor Survey shows that Jacqueline is the most likely person to use the internet to buy, clothes, household items and gifts.

Here’s an infographic which displays Jacqueline’s information visually (click to enlarge):

We had a lovely surprise parcel in the post today from Headstream letting us know that we’re featured in the Social Brands 100!

Last item bought:

Most wanted item:

A Mulberry handbag.

I’ve always lusted after a Mulberry handbag, the Bayswater shoulder bag in oak is my favourite and is permanently featured on the top of my wish list.

Favourite new store:

Madam Tussauds is in my opinion the ultimate London attraction, I loved it when I went last year. They joined Give as you Live just last week and will donate 3% of a your spend to your chosen charity. I’m a regular shopper at ASOS, so it was amazing when they came on board just before Christmas.
