Follow on Google News | Marketingunity delivers new online marketing service for the RNLISoftware house Marketingunity is implementing its web-based marketing suite for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The system is expected to generate benefits by streamlining RNLI marketing processes.
By: Marketingunity Limited The system will automatically generate the material, and route it to the RNLI’s in-house production unit, saving administration and production costs. Later phases will also bring benefits across other areas of the RNLI’s marketing processes – from the design and approval of artwork, through to print procurement and campaign management. The charity identified a need for a system to provide these services during a review of its marketing processes early last year. Kelly Keating, the RNLI’s Change Implementation Manager explains: - “We knew we could find software packages to manage the individual functions we needed, but our vision was to find a single, integrated solution. We just didn’t know if one existed”. A thorough search of the market began in May 2011, leading to a long list of potential solutions. A rigorous selection and tender process followed, which established that Newbury- “We were delighted to find that there was an end-to-end solution,” continues Kelly. “The Marketingunity suite is very comprehensive, and they were the only company with an existing product offering a total solution that met our requirements.” “The whole suite is designed for ease of use over the internet, by untrained users. That was one of our mandatory requirements, because our fundraisers are in such dispersed locations, delivering training courses wasn’t practical. If the fundraisers didn’t find the system easy to use, they wouldn’t use it, and the time and cost savings wouldn’t be achieved. That concern was addressed when we trialled Marketingunity and the users all loved it.” Chris Hopwood, Marketingunity Managing Director commented – “We are proud that the RNLI selected our solution in the face of stiff competition from so many respectable vendors, many of them much larger than us. We have never worked for a more worthy cause, and are really looking forward to helping the RNLI achieve their goals.” ENDS # # # About the RNLI The RNLI charity saves lives at sea.
