Convio, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNVO) has announced a strategic partnership to integrate email marketing from Constant Contact®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT) with Convio Common Ground CRM^TM. The integration is designed to help small and mid-sized nonprofits create, grow and maximize the value of relationships with donors, volunteers and other constituents. The combination of Convio Common Ground and Constant Contact Email Marketing - which will be generally available this summer - offers small and mid-sized charities an affordable, easy-to-use solution to reach, inspire and move people to support their cause and manage relationships. Convio will also become a member of Constant Contact's AppConnect partner program.

"With integration between Convio Common Ground and Constant Contact's email solution, nonprofits will have access to a fully integrated system from two industry leaders that allows them to use email to reach people and leverage cloud-computing to manage relationships both online and offline," said Holly Ross, Executive Director, of the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN). "In addition to making technology more affordable and easy-to-use, nonprofits will have access to the thought leadership and best practices of the two companies to get the most out of their marketing and fundraising efforts."

Integration Overview

The integration of Constant Contact's email marketing tool with Convio's Common Ground provides a powerful, easy-to-use constituent engagement solution for nonprofits:

• Improved Message Impact: The depth of Common Ground's attribute and activity tracking in combination with its industry-leading segmentation tools allows nonprofits to craft focused messages for specific audiences for their Constant Contact emails and newsletters. The end result is increased click-through and improved conversion for campaigns.

• Enhanced Personalized Communications: Organizations looking to send more personalized communications through Constant Contact may now quickly and easily take advantage of the extensive collection of contact information stored within Common Ground.

• Increased Visibility into Results:Performance reporting, a hallmark of the Common Ground product suite, will be made even more powerful with the seamless integration of email activity tracking from Constant Contact.

In addition to product integration, the partnership will include content development, webinars, speaking opportunities and conference presentations designed to help time-starved and task-focused nonprofit professionals be more successful in their marketing and fundraising campaigns. The companies also plan a number of additional co-marketing efforts.

"Having worked with more than 100,000 nonprofits, associations and charitable organizations, we've learned what matters to time-strapped and resource-starved nonprofit organizations. We've designed our tools and services to meet those needs, allowing nonprofits to build email marketing campaigns that help them connect with constituents and grow those relationships," said Steve Johnson, vice president of partners for Constant Contact. "Through this partnership with Convio, our nonprofit clients have access to an affordable, easy-to-use constituent relationship management system in Common Ground that can help them integrate their online and offline programs to better engage with their donors, volunteers and other constituents, as well as steward those relationships to the next level."

"Our partnership with Constant Contact is central to our mid-market strategy to develop relationships with industry-leading organizations that benefit our clients by lowering costs, increasing flexibility and providing choice around Common Ground as an organization's central, open constituent engagement platform," said Fred Waugh, vice president of alliances for Convio. "Common Ground is an open and innovative platform that allows integration with digital, mobile and social technologies, while bridging the gap to traditional fundraising and communications channels in ways that help nonprofits more efficiently and effectively engage constituents to support their mission. Our open approach and partnerships with companies like Constant Contact let nonprofit professionals focus on connecting people with their cause by eliminating the technology hassles and headaches associated with legacy donor databases and fundraising software."
