Communications Tools

You need to get the word out about all the great things going on in your organization, but mailing letters and brochures is slow and costly. Improve your Marketing ROI by implementing IAC's suite of web- and email-based Communications Tools. Now you can get your message to more people in more ways – for a lower total cost!

Banner Builder
Grab your constituents' attention with fun and informative banners. This easy-to-use banner creator is particularly effective for announcing events, posting news or redirecting traffic from a popular service to another that needs promotion.

Calendar
Keep your members up-to-date on community events and drive attendance. Our database-driven calendar includes event location, date, time and contact information, and seamless integration with our event registration program allows users to immediately register. Our highly visual format shows a full month graphic calendar along with a detailed display of a given week. The password-protected administrative area allows easy updates by your content providers and scheduling of broadcast event reminders.

eCards
Just like a paper greeting card, these electronic greeting cards can be used to make announcements, advertise capital or promotional campaigns or congratulate achievement. Sent by email, they provide a new way to mix photographs, video and audio links with a message for your members.

News
Report the latest news online immediately without html knowledge, and change or add news stories as frequently as you like.. Simply enter the article and attach a photo or graphic with an online form. Headlines and a brief story teaser line are displayed and link to the full article. Previous stories can be archived for future reference.

Web Postcards
Members can show their pride in your organization by sending custom-designed online postcards to friends and family. Your six designs are available for members to add their own personal message. Cards can be sent immediately or timed to arrive on a special occasion.

Awards & Recognition
Highlight the accomplishments of your members. Receive nominations and present awards to those you wish to honor. Provide a history and description of each award, along with biographical information and photographs of the recipients. This is also a great way to recognize notable alumni or profile an “Donor of the Month”.

Magazine
Allow members to access your magazine online. Provide IAC with your alumni magazine in .pdf format and we will add it to your site. The file can then be read using Adobe Acrobat (which will be available for free download). Past issues are archived for later reference.

Links Program
This service allows you to have an area on your site for interesting and useful links to other web sites your constituents may find of interest. Easy to use, the Links Program allows you to create categories such as Local Links or College/Universities Links with descriptions for each.
