How Can Home Offices Improve Email Integration for Fundraising?

[Chef Bobby]

I like hosting my own fundraiser show sometimes and have a large contact list on my personal website "Customer Connection". I wish the home office would design a proffesional looking email in Customer Connection that we could send out to everyone at once stating that we are hosting a show.
It's a pain to me being a slow typist to type in each person's name and email into the "Work With Your Shows" section. I usually just use my Outlook email.

I also wish they would allow us to set up a catalog/email fundraiser and not have to list it as a cooking show.

It is frustrating that we can't just copy our contacts list into a show. You could, however, add yourself as a guest, and send an e-invitation to yourself which you then forward to your Outlook list.

Another option is to expot your contacts from P3, then import them as guests into your show. I haven't had a lot of luck with that feature, though.

And yes, it would be nice to have a catalog fundraiser option.

Ain't that the truth! Did you know your hosts can import all their contacts from any e-mail service so they can do e-invites? And we can't do this to customer connection! I think they ASSUME that we have all our e-mail addresses in one place - P3! So set up your show, go into YOUR website, click on for our hosts, then key in the password. If you go to the invite section and do an import, it will bring the contacts in from any where. Look at the drop down to see if your e-mail provider is listed. Do the import. Now, put a check mark by all the names NOT currently in your Customer Connection list and hit update. Now, go to CC, go into the personal website set up and go to work with your shows. Now look at the guest list in your party. There they all are. Click on each name. It will then ask if you want to add it to your Customer Connect! And viola! ALL DONE NO TYPING! And no sticky imports via weird files!
And yes, we could use a catalog fundraiser button!
