Our Sponsor: thankQ

It’s not just what you know, it’s what you’re allowed to know

This month sees thankQ releasing a whole new bundle of tools to build on our integration with social media platforms.

So we certainly struggle to say what information we want to bring into our CRM database from these relatively new platforms.

Phishing is defined by Wikipedia as an attempt to acquire information, money, usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

White Paper: 3 Keys to a Smart Website

Our White Paper, "3 Keys to a Smart Website: How Leading Not-for-Profits are Driving Online Engagement with a More Personalised and Relevant Web Experience", provides case study vignettes of three not-for-profits that successfully created “smart” websites to strengthen the relationship with their constituents. In it, you’ll learn strategies to:
* Combine the power of CRM with CMS to create dynamic websites that will keep your current members, donors and other constituents engaged and help attract new ones
* Deliver convenient e-commerce and self-service options that empower your constituents, while increasing staff productivity
* Create vibrant, private online communities that offer the resources constituents can’t find elsewhere—thereby driving home the value of membership/supporting your organisation
