Free event on direct/email marketing and donor retention/management on 21 Feb

Howard Lake | 13 February 2007 | Newswire

UK Fundraising’s latest Perfect Pitch event will take place in London on 21 February, offering a showcase of presenters speaking on direct/email marketing and donor retention/management.
Confirmed speakers include digital marketing agency White Box Digital, data based solutions provider Occam, online superstore giveortake.com, which raises funds for charities through online shopping, and Blackbaud, the global provider of software and related services designed specifically for not-for-profit organisations.
Each speaker shares details of their expertise and insight for up to 30 minutes, demonstrating how their services and products can assist charities and voluntary organisations. Delegates can then question the speakers for up to five minutes, and a final panel session at the end of the event ensures delegates can get all their questions answered.
The event, the seventh in the innovative series of Perfect Pitches, is presented at no charge to the delegates by UK Fundraising, the web resource for fundraisers published since 1994.
UK Fundraising’s publisher Howard Lake said: “The UK Fundraising Perfect Pitches aim to bring charities face to face with some of the leading suppliers in the sector to help them find out how the variety of innovative tools and services on the market can help them improve their charity’s effectiveness. Given UK Fundraising’s extensive contacts within the fundraising sector, they are also valuable opportunities for suppliers to meet and communicate with an audience interested in their particular area of expertise.”
