From The Editor
Hi [[name]].
It's time to Spring into action. I suppose that's a play on words, being
that Spring is in the air already.
We've got some great products here for your review and I know that you
will be able to do some great fundraising and PR with these.
Many times fundraising only focuses on snagging that elusive donor dollar
and the Public Relations effect is often overlooked. Reaching out to
your community and your supporters is very important too. A Good PR presence
will add power to your fundraising efforts year after year.
Custom branded candy bars and new reporting features from Kintera are
just part of what can be accomplished to attract more attention.
Oh, and stay tuned to our next special edition of our enewsletter. It
will be a special audio edition highlighting an Inc. 500 company that
offers individuals (ministers, bi-vocational Executive Directors, Small
Nonprofits with a One-Person-Staff, etc.) a way to make a substantial (and
yes, I said substantial) living while allowing them to carry on their
life's mission.
So stay tuned for the next eNewsletter edition and I'll speak with you then.

Spring Into An Online Auction
C Market Online Auctions
Organizations that want to use live or silent auctions to fundraise have
a new tool. If you are planning an auction event with a fundraising
goal of at least $10,000, then you need to take a look at
C Market Online Auctions
We've found a new online auction tool that is fantastic. It's reported
that, "Online fundraising is the fastest-growing form of fundraising
today..."
If you need easy-to-use tools that will help you create, market, and
manage a successful online auction, then C Market online auctions is
right for you.
C Market's online fundraising auction allows you to run a complete online
auction or even run an online auction before your live event occurs. You can
even create your own customized auction home page and catalog as well.
After setting up your auction home page, simply communicate with your
supporters with a custom email that will start the bidding off instantly.
There are no up-front fees, no monthly fees, no limits on the numbers of
emails you send, no minimum or maximum catalog parameters and no payment
until after your auction ends. You group just pays a small percentage
of your auction's net revenue.
Look into how C Market Online Auctions can work for you.
SPECIAL FUNDRAISER
 
Hottest New Fundraiser Of The Year
Marigold's Coupon Sales
I know it is not summer yet, but I've got a hot one for you. This
fundraising product is so hot off the table that I'm going to ask
you to be sure to forward this to someone else you know about this one
before another group at their school, community or church grabs it first.
I'm talking about Marigold's Gift Certificate Catalogs. "Where you get
what you pay for!" as their motto states.
New fundrasiers don't come around often, so I had to bring it to your
attention. The concept is simple. Basically, your fundraising participants
or students show the colorful 'catalog of catalogs' and a supporter picks
the specific catalog that he or she would like to buy from.
Here are just a few of the benefits that I like:
* Free literature
* Gifts that consumers value and want
* Greater choices with Name-Brand products from Nationally-Known companies
* Thousands of quality products to choose from
* All one price -- $20.00 each
* Gift Certificates are delivered to buyers home by the catalogers
I also like that you make $8.00 for each $20.00 Gift Certificate sold.
And it does not diminish from the value the consumer gets. Your supporter
actually gets a $20.00 gift certificate for their $20.00 purchase.
I think you might want to find out more about Marigold's here. Then, pass it along to others you know who might be interested.

Kintera Has New "Thon" Tracking Feature
Kintera has a new tracking feature that will take your "thon" event
to the next level.
Kintera, one of the world's best known software companies, has once
again improved the reporting features with their Thon package.
The Kintera Thon used by organizations to support their fundraising
events can now help strengthen their relationships with their
supporters using a new feature released February 17, 2006.
Kintera reports, "Now when a participant logs in to their headquarters
in Kintera Thon, they will see a graph that allows them to easily
view and track the donations they have raised over a specified
length of time. The participant can change the default view of the
graph to see the amount of donations they raised over the past 5
days, the last full week, the last 30 days, or the past year."
This new feature works to personalize the Kintera Thon participant's
online user experience. Instantly, they can see the impact their
support has made on behalf of your organization. Desirably, they
will feel more personally vested in your project or mission.
This new tool will help deepen the relationship between your
organization and your supporters. This new feature allows you to
continue building lifelong bonds between your constituents and your
efforts.

This book is not for the faint-hearted, but for those wanting to recharge
their organization to the very core. Could some of his ideas be
