Constant Contact for Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® "Ask the Experts" Session

To help you kick off the year with a strong communication strategy, we’re hosting an "Ask the Experts" session in partnership with Constant Contact, Wednesday, Jan. 21, right here in the Raiser’s Edge NXT community 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. 

This open-forum Q&A for shared customers of Raiser’s Edge NXT and Constant Contact will give you the opportunity to get answers to your pressing questions directly from Constant Contact’s team of marketing and product experts, who have a combined 40 years of experience helping nonprofits navigate the changing digital landscape. They’re ready to help you explore how to use your donor data to drive better email performance while making your creative process more efficient. 

What could you talk about? Since this is an open discussion forum, the conversation is up to you! To get the ideas flowing, here are just a few examples of potential discussion topics and questions: 

• Improving Your KPIs: Talk about why open rates might be shifting or how to create "click-worthy" calls to action. They can share best practices for subject lines that cut through the inbox noise and layouts that actually get read. 
• Streamlining Your Design: Discuss how to easily bring designs into your email campaigns to keep your branding professional and consistent without the extra effort. 
• Creative Momentum with AI: If you’ve ever felt "stuck" looking at a blank screen, chat about using AI as a brainstorming partner—whether it’s generating subject line variations or drafting a quick first version of a newsletter. 
• Data Health & Deliverability: Discuss keeping your lists clean and how the automatic sync between Raiser’s Edge NXT and Constant Contact helps manage "Do Not Email" flags and bounces, ensuring you’re always reaching the right people. 
• Personalization at Scale: If you’re wondering how to take Raiser’s Edge NXT data (like gift dates or constituent types) and use it to send more relevant, targeted emails, they could talk through some ideas for your 2026 appeals. 
• Product Specifics: Ask about specific Constant Contact for Raiser's Edge NXT features you’d like to understand how to better use to power a stronger, more effective marketing strategy.
