Insight SIG Launches New Training Programme

Great! Launch of New Training Programme! Yahoo! I said Yahoo!

We are pleased to announce that we can now offer a new range of training courses for members, based on commonly requested and needed skills in the sector.  Yes we believe it is worth shouting about!  Yahoo! (OK I’ll stop now).

These courses are aimed to be relevant to anyone in fundraising working in both small and large organisations, and focus on getting the best from tools such as excel, fundraising reporting, attrition and campaign testing.  These are all important skills and valuable to any organisation wanting to make the most of their fundraising.

Great Trainers

Stuart McCoy and Julie Pitt are two of our experienced trainers that are providing the courses on the SIGs behalf, with many years of experience in working in the sector and delivering analysis in fundraising.  They have seen many of the challenges that are frequently encountered and have many shortcuts and tips to help even experienced analysts become more efficient.

Great Value courses

We are conscious that many budgets are under pressure so have kept our course costs to a minimum, and they really represent excellent value and a great way to improve your knowledge and skills.

Please note that due to the venues and need to keep training personal there are limited places only and so places will be given on a first come first served basis.  You can book by following the link here, where you will find details of when, where and how to book for your course.  It will also tell you what you may need to bring, and what you don’t.

So we hope you find our courses are great, and hope you will shout about them too, or tell one of your colleagues.  Just one more, Yahoo!

Best

Nigel Magson

INSIGHT SIG Chair

Marketing/Communications Planners

A colleague is putting together a list of comms planner software:

What we need in a nutshell is a tool that allows creating marketing plans, then building specific campaigns under these plans, recording of customer segments who will receive the mailings. We will want to perform some cross over analysis between campaigns.

Does anybody out there have any experience of using such systems that they’d be willing to share here?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Portchmouth
Insight SIG Treasurer and BHF data guy
