WMF started the email campaign last year for the first time I'm assuming, we used it this year as well. We had a period of several months before

of
WMF fundraising. Yes, there were more banners but it really didn't take away from Jimmy, I have the impression that you can probably put server kittens and lol cats on the banners, and you would have the same or
better
results than the ones that were tried.
The WMF's conclusions about what banners work best are based on extensive testing. What are yours based on?
My guts.
BTW How have those tests worked out? You know the ones that went on for months before the fundraiser to replace Jimmy.
