Qgiv Launches New Social Fundraising Platform
Hobnob(TM) elevates peer-to-peer fundraising and delivers donors through intuitive social media integration
LAKELAND, Fla., Jan. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Qgiv, a leader in online giving, has launched a new social fundraising platform, Hobnob(TM) - a fully featured registration and fundraising website for pledge-based special events, making it ideal for any event or campaign requiring individual and team fundraising capabilities.
"Today's donors expect to be able to immediately and easily interact with and give to their favorite causes, especially online. Plus, they want to share with their social networks, as well as invite family and friends to support them," says Todd Baylis, president of Qgiv. "Hobnob delivers on this. It's a robust and cost-effective peer-to-peer platform that allows an organization to empower its supporters to raise funds that make a difference."
Full customization, robust team pages
From Hobnob's intuitive control panel, organizations have full control over events with the ability to easily create an event and change web and email content. Custom background colors, themes, header and footer images and sponsor logos can be added to accentuate an organization's brand.
Each participant or team receives a fundraising page, which is personalized with pictures and videos and easily integrates with Facebook and Twitter.
Other features include:
-- Streamlined content management - Organizations can easily upload public
and private content to be shared with constituents. Public content is
accessible to anyone on the event website, while private content is for
those who have registered for an event or campaign.
-- Robust personal and team pages - Participants are empowered to raise the
most money possible on behalf of the sponsoring group. They can easily
customize messages with personal stories, images and videos. A real-time
thermometer keeps friends and family motivated to reach the goal amount,
and a friendly URL encourages sharing and easy linking.
-- Merchandise and event registration - Hobnob also handles event
registration and can be configured with an e-commerce component for sale
of branded merchandise like t-shirts and water bottles.
Seamless brand integration, fast set up
Qgiv platforms, including Hobnob, seamlessly integrate with a nonprofit's brand and website - providing assurance to participants and their supporters that funds are going directly to the host organization.
And regardless of the complexity of the event, Hobnob guarantees the site goes live quickly, so that an organization can start promoting its event or campaign and collecting funds all that faster.
Increased overall giving, straightforward pricing
On average, organizations using a Qgiv platform saw individual donations that were 160 percent higher than the industry average. Additionally, Hobnob's pricing is straightforward with no hidden costs.
