The New Way to do Sharathon

 
Synergy Development Systems has enhanced DenariOnline with a specially designed Sharathon Module perfectly fitted to the Sharathon method of raising money in Christian Radio. DenariOnline is more than Sharathon, but with the Sharathon module, you will find an ease and simplicity in running Sharathon that you've never experienced before.
 
Here are just a few of the benefits:
  • Up to the second statistics for the on-air jocks and management whether they are on-site or at a remote location.
  • Provides the ability for targeted and segmented Pre-Sharathon communication based on your criteria.
  • Provides accurate numbers on carry-over pledges from prior Sharathons and new pledges obtained from this Sharathon.
  • Gives you the ability to create open-ended Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) pledges.
  • Helps make an orderly roll-over of data from one year to the next.
  • Eliminates illegible writing.
  • Allows names to be verified for accuracy and deliverability while the donor is still on the phone.
  • Enhances the ability to collect extra information such as e-mail, phone number, interests, and special notes.
  • Volunteers can work from multiple locations yet have their data collected in one place in real time.
  • Takes away the frenzied atmosphere so common in the station during Sharathon by staying current with data entry and avoiding the backlog. Frees up your office staff to be involved in Sharathon and really feel a part of the team.
  • Reduces the likelihood of having inaccurate numbers reported on the air.

We have seen the confusion that a Sharathon brings reduced. The hectic rush of getting a piece of paper from the volunteers to the announcer, to the statistician, to the office staff, to the donor, was GONE! All of that went on without panic. It was a simple click of the button to refresh live statistics...a simple click of the button to print donor acknowledgments. It couldn't have been simpler.

I highly recommend Synergy's Sharathon system. It is truly a total revision to Sharathons as we have known it.

The ability to track our "open/rollover" pledges along with pledges made earlier in the Sharathon week through the pledge amendment file was invaluable. I honestly feel we have a much better handle on pledge accuracy and the true amount of money raised with this enhancement over our previous Sharathons.

The most amazing feature (and blessing) of using the Sharathon module was at 12:18 PM when Sharathon was over, the inputting was done at 12:21 PM. Days of grueling data entry post-Sharathon no longer exist.

Training the volunteers as they came in throughout the day(s) was relatively quick due to the ease of use of the module.

In addition to the Standard DenariOnline features, the Sharathon Module comes with the following...

 
  1. EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) and Credit Card. Manages all of the data for partners who what to fulfill their pledge by EFT or Credit Card. No need to enter the data multiple times.
  2. Address Standardization. Addresses are automatically compared to the USPS Zip+4 file containing over 40 million address ranges. Your data will be more accurate and more deliverable.
  3. On-line Donor Giving and Survey. Donors are able to enter real data from your web site. The data is automatically and immediately entered into Denari. During Sharathon, donors can make their pledge at your web site. Their name is checked for duplicates before being entered. In addition, donors can answer survey questions to provide you with more information about the people who listen to your station.
  4. Sharathon. Allows your volunteers and staff to access a single screen with a web browser. They can easily enter names and pledge information. If they can type on a computer, they can use this module.
  5. Pre-Sharathon. Handles your segmentation and allows you to communicate to donors effectively. It gives you the ability to clean up your data and roll-over some pledges to the next Sharathon. It even handles the proper crediting of an upgraded pledge where some of the pledge is an existing pledge and some of it is new.
  6. Premiums. During your Sharathon and throughout your year, Denari will help you track ordering and shipping of premium items including the Fair Market Value linked to donations/pledges. It even manages your inventory and prints shipping labels & packing slips.
