Which features are most popular? Talk through the tools and strategies you can use to get the answers to these questions. Through demos of free tools such as AWStats and Google Analytics, look at what these tools can tell you about your site, and what the statistics mean. Close with a discussion of when more advanced statisics packages might be useful. Building An Effective Email List Successful online fundraising, actions and outreach all start with a solid and substantial list of email addresses. But how do you build your list with the addresses of constituents truly interested in your cause? Discuss a wide variety of tools and techniques to gather solid email addresses, from direct mail and list appending techniques, to online registration methods, to PR and marketing tactics, to social media and viral marketing list building efforts – and how all of those things fit together. Keep Your Donors: Nurturing Relationships and Soliciting Gifts In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of building lasting donor relationships, and how to upgrade your fund development program from one that is merely "transaction based" to one that is profitably “relationship based.” Participants will have the opportunity to practice soliciting gifts through face-to-face solicitation. Making the Most of Social Networking Sites How do social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn work? And how do you make the most of the medium? Talk through what these sites are, why they might be useful for your organization, what’s worth doing, and how other organizations are using social networking sites. Comparing Open Source CMSs: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Plone Open source content management systems (CMS) are particularly attractive to the nonprofit community because of their cost-efficiency, but what do these systems actually do? And what are the differences between the most common CMSes? Compare WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Plone for typical nonprofit needs. Experts in each of the systems will demo the systems and answer your questions.
