pVery rarely will I compare a research tool to sliced bread, but I can#39;t pass up this chance. We continue to add more and more new features that will make your job easier, and uncover more information on potential prospects.nbsp;Prospect Quick Search is resource that will be used by every ResearchPoint user. We#39;ve all encountered unique situations where we#39;re presented with a name (and only a name)nbsp;for research. quot;I emthink /emKelly Dewald lives in SC, but I don#39;t anything else about her. I need a profile in 2 days.quot; Or maybe you haven#39;t found all of the information you need in previous wealth searches, so you want to try a more quot;relaxedquot; searching approach to pull more information. How do you start? Where do you go? Are assets important or would the gift officer prefer to see philanthropic activity? Withnbsp;Prospect Quick Search younbsp;don#39;t have to choose - you#39;ll get it all. nbsp;/p pUsing limited name or address information, we#39;ll point you toward your prospect,nbsp;help you uncover real estate (Fidelity)nbsp;and business information (Dun amp; Bradstreet), and expand the profile with a full wealth screening - all with the push of a few buttons. Best of all, Prospect Quick Search is available to all ResearchPoint subscription levels so small and large shops can benefit from the tool. /p pTry this example: Carl Lindner is a prospect in your ResearchPoint database, but his vacation home in Florida has always been elusive in your wealth searches. Use Prospect Quick Search to find these FL homes. Enter quot;Lindnerquot; in the Last name field, quot;Carlquot; in the First name field, and quot;OHquot; for the state. Click Search. In your results list, you will see more than one FL home listed for Carl and Edith Lindner. Next steps? Select quot;Add to Constituentquot; to add these homes to his record automatically./p pPlease post your comments and questions about this post./pimg src="http://forums.blackbaud.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=156369" width="1" height="1"

Is this time that could be used in a more effective manner/li liDo you have a separate room or multiple rooms just to store all that paper?

Even if not all users use the help documentation, some of you do, and we don#39;t want to leave you without any assistance. In that sense, I don#39;t feel it#39;s a waste of time. br //pp But, as technical communicators, does this change the way we document if we#39;re not sure if non-technical people will read our content?/ppHowever, I#39;m also not a big fan of a stereotypes which is one reason we developed ana href="http://forums.blackbaud.com/blogs/documentation/archive/2010/08/12/documentation-survey-announcement.aspx" target="_blank" ongoing survey/a for you to provide feedback.

pHere at Blackbaud Pacific, we have just run two digital marketing focus groups.br /br /Based on the discussions that occured during these sessions, it appears that most of you have a good idea of where to start with online promotion and fundraising. You probably use email as part of your appeals, have dipped your toes in the social media pool, and chances are that someone, somewhere, is working on your search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy.br /br /What appears to be missing however, is a strategy to tie all of these disparate pieces together. How often do you spray your database with emails and pray that it will bring in some form of return? And do you know, beyond a doubt, which media your constituents prefer to be contacted through? Perhaps you#39;ve just signed everyone up to email, figuring that it#39;s cheaper for your organisation and they have the ability to unsubscribe if they want to?br /br /To clarify, there is nothing particularly wrong with this approach. What strikes me, however, is that the results could be so much better if a little more strategy is used. Obviously this is easier said than done, as marketing, fundraising and communications activities vary from organisation to organisation, and responsibilty for online marketing activities can often lie in many disparate arms of the one organisation. Added to this as well are the challenges created by limited resources.br /br /So how do you stop, stand back, take a deep breath, and try to make your approach a little more strategic?br /br /1. Audit yourself. Take a look across your organisation, and make note of every staff member in every division that in some way is participating in your online activities. You need to get a sense of exactly what#39;s going on before reviewing this.br /br /2. Review your orgnisational vision, mission and goals. How are online marketing activities furthering these? Is what#39;s being done currently helping you achieve your goals? Is it working in the short term? What about in the long term?br /br /3. Review your current marketing/communications/fundraising plans. How are your goals being reflected in this? Have any of the activities that are being undertaken in your organisation been mentioned in this? If so, which elements are sticking to the plan? Which elements are not? Which areas of your plans may need to be evolved?br /br /4. Compare and contrast what#39;s happening in reality (what staff are actually doing), to what#39;s happening in theory (what your goals are and how these are being achieved through your plans.)nbsp; From here you should be able to start to identify the gaps, and centralise or decentralise activities as necessary, and make sure the skills required to execute are possessed by the relevant staff members. Most importantly, you can make sure that your short term actions aren#39;t having negative impacts on your long term goals. You can avoid the spray and pray approach./pp5. Start talking to your constituents and listening to their answers. What do they find useful from your organisation? Do they prefer email or being contacted via Facebook? Have you ever actively asked them? br //pp6. Create a strategy that takes into account all of your findings. Remain flexible and adapatable, but make sure you#39;re not over or under-marketing your organisation online. Decide on the main online tactics that you want to engage with, and focus on these. You can#39;t be all things to all people.br //ppStarting to look at what#39;s actually going can be an extremely daunting task, but doing it is well worth the effort. Have you ever tried to do this in your organisation? Why or why not? Do you think that a little more strategy could go a long way?/pimg src="http://forums.blackbaud.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=155853" width="1" height="1"

Don#39;t worry, it can all be undone. /p pThe first step is to remove the generated activity to free up the Advance Deposit to be edited or deleted. To do this, open the record on which the advance deposit credits were generated and select the Activity tab. Highlight each generated credit and click Delete. I recommend posting the reversal on the same day it was originally posted for reconciliation purposes. /p pNow you can open the Advance Deposit record to make the necessary changes.
