  • Rotating show images in Patron Edge Online

    My colleague, Matt Cook, recently showed off a cool Image cube he put together for Patron Edge Online. Take a look at the information below, it would be cool to see this put to work. The really cool thing about this is that each side of the cube can link to different things, so this could help drive...

  • Get Your Giving Clubs Right (With Free Stuff)

    Not too long ago, I got a really interesting Raiser's Edge question. "How can I find a constituent's longest stretch of consecutive years given, for my giving clubs?" You may have a great donor who gave from 1995-2005, missed a year, and then started giving again. He wouldn't show...

  • Even More Potential

    I got some feedback on the Potential Revenue Report I put up last month and have made some improvements. Some folks told me that promoters who are used to working with Ticketsmasher (ack!) always ask for reports on free seats totaled by price level. One client told me she manually counts every unsold...

  • The Spotlight - Inauguration Edition

    Today was the big day. The new president's speech was inspiring. I was especially pleased with the references to exploiting the potential in newer, smarter energy and economic policies. With that in mind, and in what might be the worst segue ever on The Spotlight, I present to you a gift that allows...

  • Post-Conference Goodies

    During the Blackbaud Conference for Nonprofits this year I demonstrated an application I had been working on that will instantly open the RE record for whatever PE record you're currently viewing with a single click. I promised to have it up on The Spotlight by the end of the week for all of you...

  • PEO Donation Round-Up, v2

    The PEO Labs series brings you information or advice on items that are geared towards users who can take high-level concepts or sample code and run with them. Please note that many of the things discussed are not supported. That doesn't mean that an item is a warranty-voider; it just means that the...

  • Tomorrow is Museum Day!

    I hope all of you museums out there are participating in the national Museum Day tomorrow, September 27th! Museum day is a great way to get those people who were interested in your organization but not willing to pay admission on the chance that the experience would be disappointing. Get them in, give...

  • Save Time by Deploying RE Integration Files

    Two of the most time consuming things with any client-server application are installations and updates. If you have both Patron Edge and The Raiser's Edge, you currently have an additional step after installing an RE workstation (or updating a PE workstation) to copy some files into the The Raiser's...

  • Create maps of your patrons using free online tools

    Check out the guest post I wrote today on The User's Edge blog. I explain how to use the RE Export module and a free service called Map a List to create a Google Maps mashup. These tools are not RE-specific though; you can run Marketing Mailing queries and generate a spreadsheet of address info,...

  • Send an SMS blast to patrons using free online tools

    You've used Patron Edge for a while, gotten the hang of Marketing Mailing, and are pretty good at generating lists for brochures and email blasts. But have you considered the possibility of using the system to send out an SMS blast to the mobile phones of your subscribers? In the past, if you wanted...
