Using a web interface that is branded to the school’s website, we collect information from prospective students about their academic and extracurricular interests. This information is stored in a database, and initiates the automated creation of a personalized 16-page color catalog. The personalized catalog provides images and information that are relevant to each prospect’s interests. The printed and bound catalogs are then processed for mailing from our location. This is an automated, lights-out, turn-key solution that is already developed, and is working today.
The institutions who are currently employing this solution are very excited about the results they are achieving. Producing and distributing fewer, smaller, and more highly-targeted catalogs is not only saving these schools money, but it also creates a memorable and engaging experience for their prospective students. This solution sets these institutions apart from other universities, and makes a positive, lasting impression.

The social web has created a new set of expectations for your members and how they want to experience your association online. Your website is the hub of it all. Does it meet today’s standards? Your website goes beyond a place where people simply gather information. Association websites have come a long way since the days of glorified brochures and links to PDFs of your journal.
Today’s association websites compete with for-profit sites, industry publications, member companies, and even other associations. But there is more than just competition. New user-driven technologies and trends are reshaping the way we all use the web – and the way your members use your association website.
Be part of a high level review of five key trends ranging from content marketing to responsive design and walk away with strategies and ideas on how your site can compete in this modern online landscape.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.

integration with The Raiser’s Edge. Not only does online giving save staff
time in donation processing and decrease the chances of data error, it
also stores it in The Raiser’s Edge so that we can have a single view of
our donors.”
— Jennifer Friedley, Director of Development, Midland Care Connection
• “We have raised more money with Blackbaud NetCommunity, but,
more importantly, we have gained donors. These are donors we can
cultivate and hopefully make returning donors. I believe the work we have
done using Blackbaud NetCommunity is one of the primary reasons we
have had this success acquiring new donors.”

Editor's Notes
TITLE SLIDE.
NetCommunity Grow is probably different from the solutions that you have purchased from Blackbaud in the past. NetCommunity Grow is not only about delivery great tools, its about focusing on results by working directly with Blackbaud’s internet experts. The key words to look at in this description are: internet marketing technology, expert led, impact, and results.
What are we really talking about here? Lets look at the 3 things that make up the netcommunity grow program. Were talking about focusing on results, and results come from having the right experts and the right tools. Results. Expertise. Tools. Of course all of these things are power by the Industry leading Supporter Management System, The Raiser’s Edge
Really drive home that we are the experts here. Over 2,600 employees. All web designers are professional nonprofit website designers. NPO Pages should be different from other sites. There are specific calls to action and information that needs to be strategically located on the pages. Our staff is the best at producing these NPO focused websites. Craig – any additions?
The importance of your website! 8-10 people are online and that number is growing. No longer do we live in a brochure world. Your website is your brochure!
You can see these stats that we’ve been able to glean. What this is really telling us is what we already know – the young folks are online. 65+ audience is growing. You can’t see your kids unless you go on Facebook or twitter to see what they are up to. You think the older generation isn’t online? My 85 year old Grandma in AZ is on Facebook and keeps close tabs on what I’m up to. The wealth gravitates towards technology. – this is your online audiance
Online giving is growing at a rapid rate – Have you ever received a gift online of this size?
This is the credibility check – people will check you out before engaging. Are we wowing them at the front door? Can they easily find the “calls to action?” “Is our content recent?” Will they stay? Will they come back? Has the site changed since their last visit?
Branded pages matter! Professionalism matters! What’s the point? Supporters online – don’t miss out on the opportunity
You’ll always have donors who give by check via the mail and that’s great. We’re not here to force anyone to go online to donate. A you’re website should serve two purposes (Cultivation and Acquisition). Having a professional built website and online donation pages will open your doors to the “prospects” or New donors to continue growing your donor list. Craig anything to add:
We talked about professionalism mattering – are you professional enough to keep them on your page. Branding – We need to reflect your missions and captures their attention.
Best Practice Design – Shameless plug
Bring up the slide show, the call to actions down the right hand side
Craig anything to add:
Pause here – ask about design – our design preferences are like designing a house. We put things in places where they naturally belong on a website. Do you have anyone here on staff that wants to build this from the ground up. Are there designs or ideas on exactly what you want the new page to look like?
Email preference centers (or Email Subscription Center) are a great model for combining your email sales and marketing goals with your customer needs. JupiterResearch reports that nearly four out of 10 email marketers say list turnover is their greatest challenge. Forrester states that the average company will lose 30 percent of its email subscriber list per year. Summarizing – just because you have a list of donors this doesn’t mean people are going to respond to your efforts.
Herrity tested subject lines for a client’s appeal:- The direct subject line said “Donate to Feed a Child Today.”- The indirect subject line said “Learn About this Organization.”Herrity tested subject lines for a client’s appeal: http://www.fasttrackfundraising.com/fundraisers/10-best-practices-to-increase-email-response-rates-for-fundraising/
Example of a direct subject line “Help us reach the match – and cure kids like Lauren”
Example of Targeted content.
Tyler to cover the slide then kick things over to Craig for a deeper conversation on this slideCraig – Drive home multi channel marketing - Look, we started this conversation talking about all the ways we can make you money. #1 way we can help you drive online revenue across all sectors. I don’t know how much your making right now but can you imagine adding another 43% to what you’re doing now? This gives you a cost reduction side as well
Craig
CraigTie it all down here. What we hear from our clients is that they really want us to increase a couple things, web traffic, online giving, and higher growth of the email files
Craig:First things first- if you don’t have emails.Participating Grow clients in Jan 2011- before using Grow to after using GrowOn average, Blackbaud Grow clients grow their email subscription list over 100% - by driving people to their website through traditional fundraising/communication methods and by using the tools available to them with NetCommunity, such as online event registrations, online giving, community sign ups, enewsletters – they have been able to capture more emails and grow their house file.Let’s take a look at some of these interactive toolsEncouraged donors to look up giving history online during tax season (2 years in a row now) by mailing out postcards telling them about it. It generates a lot of online signups (which include email addresses). Sent postcards encouraging people to sign up for new websiteDriving direct mail donors to make their gifts onlinecollecting e-mail on registrations for eventsUsing emails to reach out to our alumni to have them spead the word of mouth to their fellow alumni.We are in the process right now to really utilizing our website with the polls, online event registration, monthly discussions, e-newsletters, etc.Asking for them with every donationconstant request to provide us with email addressesduring reunions and other school events.
Here’s our vision for you – This is your vision and Blackbaud’s vision coming together. You can’t do one without the other and running separately these two programs are not as effective.The answer to growth is integration!
The Raiser’s Edge 7 uses easy to use dashboards to tell you which efforts are working and which ones aren’t.The Raiser’s Edge 7 also comes with a library of pre-built analytical reports, queries and filters to let you drill-down into the details.
