“The integration with our AMS (Avectra’s netFORUM) has been tremendous. It has allowed us to efficiently collect and update information on members and prospects. In the past our process was manual. Today it is automated. Our data is cleaner, our members can customize the communications they receive from ERA, and our Membership sales team is alerted to new prospects as soon as they express interest in the association. That’s a winning formula!”

Case Studies

Electronic Retailing Association/ERA gathers business intelligence and supports member preferences

From collecting and updating member information to encouraging eMail communication preference management versus globally opting out, ERA benefits from a seamless data integration to increase overall membership value.

The HighRoad Solution:
HighRoad Solution implemented a custom integration with ERA’s AMS (netFORUM) database. Data from netFORUM writes to BlueHornet in daily recurring data syncs to refresh segments with eMail subscribers. If an eMail address has been determined to be a bad address, the integration writes eMail valid status from BlueHornet to netFORUM so the sales team and call center are alerted and can ask for an updated email address during routine communications with the member or prospective member.

“Since all of our data runs through Personify, the fact that HighRoad is a TMA Resources partner was the deciding factor in our decision to partner with HighRoad. There are many vendors who claim to integrate with Personify but the fact that HighRoad took the additional step to become a partner showed BIO their commitment to Personify. In the past the IT team would have to pull lists and set up HTML eMails, but with HighRoad most of that can now be done by the end users!”

“Like most organizations, we have a number of technology tools that need to act as one ‘system’ so the fact that HighRoad Solution integrated seamlessly with Aptify was a critical factor in choosing HighRoad. One of our strategic focuses is mobile and the rendering of eMails on a mobile device is first class. Finally the product’s ease-of-use won over our staff.”

“We were looking for an eMail marketing tool that would be user friendly and would allow us to send complex messages. During our evaluation period we discovered how user friendly the application is, but being new to HighRoad we initially had to make frequent calls to determine what steps we needed to take to get the results we were looking for. Each time we called for help a customer service rep was available and had the knowledge to show us how to get the results we were looking for. Our experience with HighRoad’s customer service was and has continued to be exceptional.”

“We wanted our e-mail system to tie directly into our CRM, to eliminate both data silos and the need to import lists constantly. HighRoad was able to handle this tricky proposition with aplomb, saving us time and a lot of headaches. The integration with our CRM, combined with the ability to use e-mail subscriber behavior to guide our segmentation, has helped us improve our open and click-through rates year-over-year.”

NTEN: The Nonprofit Technology Network
 

Nonprofit Technology Network/Automate member and prospect LifeCycle eMail messages to save time and demand on internal resources

NTEN has over 20-types of LifeCycle messages for both members, non-members and prospects. From membership join and renewal campaigns to non-member contact and first-time event registration follow-up, an automated solution was desired to ease the workload on internal resources.

The HighRoad Solution:
Daily data syncs pull in field values from NTEN’s netFORUM database to their HighRoad Campaign eMail account to populate static segments with eMail subscribers who fit defined criteria. Then, utilizing built-in recurring message features, recurring eMails are enabled and deploy to very specific lists on a daily basis. Automating eMails using recurring message features along with integrated daily data syncs, allows internal resources to focus more on content and strategy versus deploying manual eMails.

“We have complex segmenting requirements to send our targeted eMails and manual imports are not an option for our internal resources. Daily data syncs from netFORUM to our HighRoad account make it possible for us to focus on eMail strategy versus manually importing lists. The custom eMail preference center that is integrated to netFORUM allows our members to pick and choose what newsletters we send them. Since the eMail preference center was implemented, we have already noticed a decrease in global opt-outs from our larger volume deployments.”
