Community Happenings: October 24 2017

Shannon Emery

Hello Community!

 
After last week’s bbcon shenanigans, we are back to business in the Community and this week I want to share the Q3 Community by the Numbers:

 

I love seeing those quarterly numbers because it shows me how invested you are in pushing yourself and your organizations to be better. Keep it up, Community! Your Community Managers have a few things up our sleeves to end 2017 on a strong note so make sure to keep an eye out.

 
Let’s see what’s happening in the Community:

 
Make an Appearance

• Join us on November 1 to learn how to navigate the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal in our free webinar.
• Want to join other events or webinars? Check out our complete Blackbaud Community Event Calendar where you can see ALL the upcoming Community events.

 
Stay Informed

• “One size does not fit all” must be one of the greatest lessons ever learned at bbcon. Check out what else special blogger, Brent Troth, learned at bbcon 2017 this year.
• The one size does not fit all concept applies to your marketing approach– segment your donors and use personalization to make the biggest impact.

 
Get Involved

• May I ask a favor? If you have a minute, take our donor acquisition program poll so the Community can help shape our future Blackbaud University offerings.
• Stumped when it comes to leveraging volunteers at your organization? Check out these great suggestions from fellow community members.

 
Alright favorite community, that’s it for now. See you next week!

I loved Brent's "one size does not fit all" blog. It definitely applies to more than just data best practices--It might just be my Q4 motto.

Love the Segmenting and Personalization blog! Awesome for those getting started and a good reminder for those of us who have been working in the field for... awhile.
