Have you ever looked at a list of Salesforce contacts and wished you could email some of them without having to create a campaign or a special view? Have you ever been frustrated that the NPSP’s Affiliated Contacts structure removes the one useful part of Salesforce emailing (the ability to find other contacts with the same Account)? Do you often need to email all Contacts affiliated with an Account?
We often get questions about which apps are best for nonprofit organizations. There are several things to take into consideration when answering this question, the most important being the fact that there isn’t just one solution for every nonprofit in the world. Different organizations need different things, and sometimes only a side by side rundown can yield a correct answer. Often though, it takes a side by side rundown and a detailed discussion to come to the right conclusion. So, here is your side by side comparison, and you can always contact us here to have a detailed discussion about the exact solutions you’re looking for.

A few weeks ago, we showed you some simple steps about integrating Campaign Monitor with your Salesforce instance. Today, we’ve got the same information about MailChimp, another mass emailer that integrates nicely with Salesforce. So, without further adieu, here’s how to sync the two services into one well-oiled machine…
Here at 501Partners, we receive a lot of questions about which mass marketing tools are best based on how they integrate with Salesforce. We’ve decided to take a quick look at the options, starting with Campaign Monitor, to give some insight on how we answer this question. All in all, it depends on which organization is asking the question, as everything we recommend is based on needs, wants, existing processes, users, and much more – all of which are unique to individual organizations. This post will simply be a brief overview to Campaign Monitor, but more information can be found here.
