It’s been quite a while since I last blogged- and this time I have some really good excuses:

1. We upgraded from Blogger.  Apparently, our company was part of the small group of users that utilized FTP uploads to automatically connect our website with Blogger.  Call it early adoptercitis.  By being an early adopter, we started using some features that the rest of the world didn’t need years later.  Therefore, Google eliminated them and us.  But WordPress does the same thing, and the automatic import from Blogger was seamless.
2. I’m currently running a social fundraising event.  It’s called the “Player’s Charity Championship”, and is based on a virtual golf tournament.  It revolves around a group of 30 and 40 something year old guys across the country who haven’t quite grown out of some of our hobbies, so we justify getting together by raising a ton of money for charity.  Sounds like a good excuse, eh?  In fact, why not donate to our cause?  We’re helping our service men and women by helping those that run into financial distress when they return from their deployments.  Click here to get to my donation page and read more about it.  (I’m using – naturally- DonorPerfect and DonorPages to manage the event- check it out!)
3. If you haven’t noticed, we changed our DonorPerfect Online Fundraising Software pricing structure.  Times have changed, and it’s clear organizations are more tech savvy and also desire more transparency.  In addition, we’ve added a lot of value to our software by eliminating add-on’s and bundling the most frequently used features together in a way that makes sense for small, medium, and large organizations.  We’re going back to our roots of offering comprehensive software, so that organizations should not feel penalized if they want to use new features.
4. We partnered with Constant Contact (CTCT), and we are leading the way in advanced email integration among all of their partners.  This way, our customers get the best of both worlds- Awesome CRM within DonorPerfect, and superior Email Management within Constant Contact- all offered seamlessly within DonorPerfect.  In fact, we even expanded some of their capabilities, such as unlimited campaign tracking that otherwise expired after 90 days.

Yes, it’s pretty exciting around here- stay tuned as always!
