Convio for Issue Advocacy

Engaging constituents to take action, contribute and spread the word is an ongoing challenge for issue advocacy organizations. For our clients, success means not only generating response quickly around a specific issue, but also building a loyal base of ongoing support for advocacy and fundraising efforts.

Issue advocacy organizations can use Convio tools to foster strong relationships with constituents online that will move them to take action and make contributions while easily integrating with our donor database/constituent relationship management solution, Common Ground™ (URL), and others such as Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge®. Our issue advocacy clients can use the Internet strategically to:

• Quickly mobilize people to take action immediately in support of urgent issues, 
• Raise funds quickly around timely issues, 
• Reach out with greater frequency by using email and other online tools, 
• Manage donor database records to enhance constituent relationships, 
• Integrate online fundraising, advocacy and communications to get the most out of each constituent relationship, 
• Personalize online action alerts and appeals based on constituent interests to maximize response, and 
• Create a committed corps of constituents that you can count on in the long term — not only to act and to contribute, but also to encourage others to help out.

Our suite of software and services help issue advocacy organizations better solve needs such as developing online relationships through targeted email communications, attracting and retaining constituents with compelling, personalized online content and providing a donor database solution for managing all constituent relationships and synchronizing with other databases. Some of our clients choose to take advantage of our full suite while others use only the products they need now, and add products and services as their needs grow.

Along with proper tools for success, our clients are empowered to create custom constituent experiences to reach new supporters, more deeply engage existing supporters and drive a longer relationship with both. Convio’s Client Success Services  team helps define and execute Internet marketing plans to drive and measure results. We also provide training, technical and product usage support and account managers to cater to the unique needs of nonprofit organizations through our Convio Services.
