Masterlink

It's not about managing data. It's about reaching donors.

Treat every donor with the same care you show your high-dollar donors and you'll discover something quite remarkable. Those low-dollar folks start to bump up their average gift.

Why? Because donors are people and people respond with warmth and generosity when their goodwill is acknowledged. Remember, donors treated as valued friends and partners will keep on giving.

   

Get fast, easy online access to your masterfile with MASTERLINK. Immediate, on-demand access to your files opens a whole new world of marketing opportunities! The Data Center has developed its own unique fundraising systems and services to make it easier for you to "reach in and touch someone."

Whether it's sending out prompt thank you's or respecting "no-call" requests during a telemarketing appeal or knowing who sits on the board, your masterfile and how you use it holds the key to the "high touch" approach. And the better able you are to work with your files, the better able you are to massage and manipulate the information in surprising and effective new ways!



The Data Center offers:

  • Unlimited donation histories, sustainer and high-dollar master record components - with unlimited memo fields, seasonal address and phone/mail programs.
  • Fast, inexpensive insight into donor behavior through many online (OLAP) and hardcopy statistical reports.
  • Custom file segmentation - decide how simple or complex your files should be.
