It's been a couple of years since we've kicked off a reviews campaign with our customers.  Many of you have already taken the time to write reviews on some of our different online listings, and we greatly appreciate that!

You can expect to receive a few emails over the next week or so from the team at Gartner Digital Markets.  They will also be sending along an e-gift card for those that post reviews.  If you would like to get a head start, here are the pages we are requesting both our political and nonprofit customers to write a review on.  Thank You!

For our nonprofit customers, it's time to start preparing your year-end tax statements.  Getting a head start with building your templates with the appropriate text, merge fields, and images, will save you a lot of time when the time comes to generate and mail the letters to your supporters.  These resources should help to get you from A to B, but please don't hesitate to contact our support team if you need a hand.

We are migrating to a new server this weekend.  The new server will improve performance and increase security (all good things).

You will not be able to access your database starting 9pm CENTRAL TIME on Saturday evening (12/12/2020).  Assuming all goes well (there won't be any issues, right?) you will regain access around midnight. 

ADVICE:

1. Be sure EVERYONE is logged out of your database prior to 9pm CENTRAL TIME on Saturday.
   
   
2. Be careful about eblasts scheduled on Saturday. The reason for this has to do with how the emails interact with our server in real time:
1. Tracking of email opens will not work.
2. Links will not work.
3. Images will not display.
