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. Fíonta consultants deliver integrated event management tools that facilitate tailored marketing campaigns and real-time reporting for programs of all sizes and formats.

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.

What our clients are saying

Fíonta’s Managed Services (Accent) team has been a very helpful resource for our small association. Our ongoing arrangement with Accent has allowed us to establish a productive cadence to address small configuration changes with their support. While having continuous conversations to make sure we’re keeping an eye on long-term needs, the flexibility to engage with the broader Fíonta team when we need support to complete more resource-intensive projects. American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association
We hired Fíonta to overhaul our Salesforce after a botched transition from Raiser's Edge. Right from the get-go, the Fíonta team has taken time to understand our needs and respond accordingly. They are very quick to get back to us, and always let us guide the conversation and set priorities while still using their expertise to keep us on track. Free the Slaves
The tools Fíonta has at its disposal make the conversion process a breeze. I have been through this process a few times in my career, and this is, without a doubt, the easiest and most efficient conversion I have ever experienced. I highly recommend that all member-based nonprofits give Fíonta serious consideration for their needs. American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists

Fíonta clearly has a recipe for success for Raiser's Edge to Salesforce migrations. I consider us lucky to have had their solid team and rich expertise leading us through the daunting and ambitious project. It was a lot of work, but we came out with better tools and more ownership of our data. Bread for the City
I have worked with Fíonta for close to a decade. Each team member I have interacted with is knowledgeable, an expert, and patient. Most importantly, they work to understand our mission, vision, and programming needs. I admire how everyone we have ever worked with strives to understand our organization, what we do, and what we provide, and helps us find solutions that fit our budget. Partnership for Children of Cumberland County
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!
