Public media organizations are unique, with a specific set of business requirements and integration needs that few CRM solutions get right. Constituents are members. Sustaining pledges are the lifeblood of the organization. Pledge drives aren’t just ordinary fundraising campaigns. Premiums must be managed and fulfilled effectively, or you’ll hear about it! And there’s a host of integrations needed to keep operations humming and members happy. The membership experience is vital to your success.
ROI Solutions has a long history of working with public media organizations to optimize the membership experience. We speak your language, and we offer best practices tailored to your specific business needs. Maybe that’s why we work with some of the largest stations around!
ROI Solutions’ commitment to developing technology solutions for nonprofits aligns perfectly with CDP’s mission to help sustain a thriving public media system and is in keeping with our long history of utilizing best-of-breed technology. Our partnership will significantly increase our collective ability to serve nonprofits and make this world-class technology available to public media stations of all sizes, supporting the positive impact they have in communities large and small

This was a great opportunity to take stock of our current technology assets, what processes were in place today, how we might improve them, and also our aspirations to help move us forward as an organization. I have been a part of a number of implementations and converting to Revolution CRM was by far the best and most collaborative implementation project I have experienced. Throughout the process, the communication was clear, and we worked together to achieve our goals.

We were looking to develop more 1:1 relationships with our members, but in order to do that we needed to re-allocate resources and find efficiencies. The ability to re-think all of our old processes at once generated those efficiencies. We ended up with a vastly improved sustainer billing process, which is one of the most measurable out-of-the-box improvements with over 57,000 sustainers. Now many of the people on our gift processing team can focus on our members rather than spending time keying data.

Throughout the RFP and demo process, ROI Solutions checked all of our boxes and their client references really helped us get to know how they work together with their clients to continually improve their core product throughout the relationship.

We're a data-driven organization, and we aspire to be ever more data-driven. We're still reaching for that magical one-to-one marketing that we all talk about where we really personalize the right offer to the right person through the right channel or set of channels at the right time. And ROI Solutions is at the center of all of those efforts.

Our transition from our legacy system to ROI Solutions was relatively seamless. The ROI Solutions team prepared a solid conversion plan and worked closely with WEDU to ensure a smooth transition and migration to the new system. We have been able to reevaluate outdated business processes and develop a philanthropic business model that will lead to increased revenue and expanded opportunities.

For on-air fundraising, we are better able to manage our campaign setup and we can also more easily see and retrieve campaign results afterward. We’re tracking things in a more elegant way for meaningful reporting after each campaign.
