"The Internet Marketing Seminar delivered so much value to me. I highly recommend it to everyone. Not only were internet marketing strategies reinforced, but new ideas were also generated by our facilitators and class participants."

Jim Chaney
Burlington United Methodist Family Services
Keyser, WV

"Having just established our GiftLegacy Pro agreement and the launch of our new planned giving web site, we were good to go. But where . . . and how? Crescendo's two-day Internet Marketing Seminar answered those questions and now I am prepared to move forward with an organized plan. What made this seminar really special, however, was being able to enhance our web site with a personal video greeting; share our challenges, glean ideas from my peers from around the country and put faces on the professional Crescendo staff who provide exceptional support for our every initiative."

Anne A. Lockhart
Director of Development
The University of Louisiana at Monroe

"The Crescendo staff has a great 'handle' on the aspects, challenges and opportunities that e-marketing offers us as gift planners. The seminar information covered all of the important bases for those of us who want to take advantage of this exciting way to educate and motivate our donors. I would certainly recommend this session to any gift planner that is serious about improving their program through e-marketing!"

Terry Balko
Director of Planned Giving
Kennesaw State University - Kennesaw, GA

"Before I came to the Internet Seminar, I thought that eMarketing just meant a web site. After the seminar, I understood how powerful an eMarketing system with web, e-mail, video and eLiterature can be. I now can see why so many charities have upgraded their web site to the full GiftLegacy Pro eMarketing System."
