Announcing Convio's Summer '09 Release!

________________________________________

Convio Summer '09 release, available beginning in July, is loaded with cool and refreshing features that will help you connect with your supporters and give them new ways to promote your mission:

• Engage and coach participants to raise more money in support of your events with the beautiful new and improved TeamRaiser Participant Center, and a new Fundraising Milestones feature, which allows for better coaching towards fundraising minimums, incentive programs, and higher touch with major fundraisers.
• Leverage the power of social networking with Facebook Connect.  Empower constituents to spread the word and engage potential new supporters by sharing headlines and links from your organization's website to their Facebook friends.
• Letter to the Editor is another new tool to energize your grassroots advocacy efforts.  Let your constituents extend your outreach efforts by contacting their local media with highly personalized letters.
• We heard you: this release introduces a significantly improved WYSIWYG HTML Editor that generates standards-compliant HTML and is multi-browser compatible to provide greater control and save you time crafting website and email content.  (In order to minimize disruption, we're enabling this feature on a client-by-client basis: contact your Convio Account Manager when you're ready to give it a try!)
• And an improved Report Writer enables you to hone in on the metrics you need by making it faster and easier to select and order columns.

These are just the highlights of over 20 improvements and new features we've built into this release in our ongoing efforts to help you perform your mission. Click here to read more, and as always, visit us on the Convio Community Product Feedback Forum to let us know how we're doing.

Save the date: you'll be receiving an invitation in two weeks to our Product Release Webinar, July 8, 1PM EST, and a follow-up communication thereafter with details about the date of your account upgrade.

Best wishes,
