Manage Seeds

Seeds are usually internal people at your organization you can include in marketing efforts to verify that the processing house sends out the packages correctly. Other times, you may want to specify special constituents as seeds, such as Board Members, simply because they want to see each marketing effort.

You can associate one or more seeds with a marketing effort. Every seed associated with a marketing effort receives one of each package contained in the marketing effort. Because seeds are test recipients who do donate based on the effort, they are not included in any calculations or ROI numbers for the marketing effort. Seeds appear in the export file once for every package in the marketing effort when you export the marketing effort to the processing house.

You can manage all aspects of your seeds from the Seeds page. To access the Seeds page, from Marketing and Communications, select Seeds.

You can add, edit, or delete seeds from this page. Rather than delete a seed from the database, you can also mark a seed as inactive when it is not needed anymore.

After you configure seeds, you can assign them to communication templates and marketing efforts. For more information, see Seeds Tab.
