Pain points

Difficulty expressing and delivering membership value

Associations must prove the value of membership to an audience made up of multiple generations and market segments, each with different goals and expectations. Fíonta sets up automated workflows that allow you to deliver personalized content throughout the membership journey along with dashboards that give your team a complete view of member engagement.

Changing attendee expectations for conferences and events

Employer budget cuts, travel disruptions, rising venue costs, and last-minute registrations have made event planning more challenging and unpredictable.

Fluctuating revenue from sponsors and exhibitors

Associations depend on sponsors and exhibitors for non-dues revenue, yet these industry partners have increasing options for their marketing budgets. Fíonta designs engagement workflows, dashboards, and reporting tools that allow your association to take a holistic approach to nurturing leads and strengthening revenue partnerships throughout the year.

Relevant and timely member engagement

Members are busy as well as savvy and are likely to ignore or entirely miss email communications that don’t feel personalized. Associations miss opportunities for meaningful engagement simply because they don’t have the means to accurately segment or personalize emails or landing pages. Fíonta consultants possess expertise with data migration and segmentation, as well as the UX/UI skills needed to design and develop compelling email and landing page designs.

Transforming data into insight and decisions

When data is scattered across different systems, understanding the interests and behavior of prospects, members, and customers is a complicated task. Fíonta consultants set up reporting and analytics tools that give your staff the information they need to do their jobs, whether that’s improving member engagement, planning events and marketing campaigns, or making resource allocation decisions.

Modernizing marketing for better member engagement

The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) is a membership organization that promotes excellence and engagement in the choral arts. ACDA provides a wealth of benefits to its members, including professional development and networking opportunities, choral repertoire, publications, awards and competitions, a career center, and more. To enhance their services and accommodate their growing membership, ACDA migrated to Fonteva, built on the Salesforce platform. Because their existing email management solutions were outdated and no longer met their needs, ACDA sought a marketing automation solution that could integrate seamlessly with Fonteva, provide additional features, offer ease of use, and automate workflows. Fíonta collaborated with ACDA to implement Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) to address these requirements.

What our clients are saying

Fionta’s project technical consultants and the project manager were efficient, responsive, and communicated clearly with us at each step of the way. It was a terrific experience all around. Atlas Network
Our consultant asked the right questions to ensure we were always tackling and prioritizing a critical problem, and often gave us options and a heads-up regarding potential project overruns and unexpected areas when there wasn’t enough information to forecast issues more precisely. We LOVE working with them and plan on engaging them further. Innovations for Poverty Action
They stuck to a very tight project timeline and finished the project within our budget. The team there was great to work with. ACE
Fíonta gets it! Our organization had been frustratingly overwhelmed with Salesforce and displeased with our initial partner and implementation. With Fíonta, we were able to realign our Salesforce implementation with our real work business needs as a multi-layered nonprofit. Fíonta has been in the trenches and understands the needs of foundations and nonprofits. Homeboy Industries
I definitely want to work with Fíonta again. The value they provided exceeded my expectations. Great design, scalable solutions, timely turnaround, and appropriate risk management are just a few reasons why I prefer Fíonta over other partners. They finished on time and within budget, too! Achievement Network
Our experience with Fíonta was truly the best. They took me from knowing zero about Salesforce to completely navigate on my own for my entire agency. They are timely, engaged, enthusiastic, and they are willing to help whenever you need them. GRHF
