AudienceView Professional users are equipped with several tools to help them increase fundraising revenue. One of these is the ability to ask ticket buyers to add a donation to their cart during the checkout process. This helps increase donations and gives fundraising leaders a targeted list of folks to contact for their annual appeals.

AudienceView Professional also has donor profiles which help your team identify key fundraising opportunities. You can apply tags to likely donors and segment by these tags when creating lists for new fundraising campaigns.

Additionally, the CRM functionality in AudienceView Professional allows you to assign tasks in batches to groups of patrons. For instance, you may want to pull a report of $5,000 level donors and assign tasks for your prospect manager to make personal calls to each of these donors. In AudienceView Professional, you can do just that.
