I think that "how many contacts do you have annually" is neglected or overlooked by many nonprofits. Donors lives are cyclical, and the reality is that they may be in a better position financially to provide support during certain times of the year than others. Mal Warwick suggests asking a minimum of 6 times per year. Frequency is critical as well for keeping donors dialed in even when they are not in a spot where they can help financially. You also mention segmenting (which donors to focus on) and this can help those trying to stretch a lean budget.
