Case Study: Buy Local Coalition
Background
The Buy Local Coalition is a non-profit organization that promotes local businesses and encourages community members to support them. Recognizing the importance of a strong digital presence, the Coalition sought our assistance in transforming its old website into a more functional and engaging directory that would effectively serve its members and the local community.
Website Transformation and Directory Development
One of the primary goals of our partnership was to revamp their outdated website, which no longer met the needs of the Coalition or its members. Our team worked diligently to transform the old site into a comprehensive directory that showcased member businesses and provided valuable resources for community members looking to support local enterprises.
This new directory format allowed for easy navigation and access to important information, making it easier for users to find and connect with local businesses.
In addition to the directory, we provided ongoing website maintenance and hosting services to ensure the site remained functional, secure, and up-to-date. This support has allowed the Buy Local Coalition to focus on its mission while we handle the technical aspects of its online presence.
Spam Resolution and Domain Management
As part of our comprehensive support, we successfully migrated ServPro Largo’s email services from Office 365 to Google Workspace. This transition was designed to streamline their communication processes while providing a more user-friendly interface for their team.
We added an extra layer of protection against phishing attacks and spam to ensure their emails. By managing their emails this way, we have enabled ServPro Largo to focus on its core business operations without worrying about email security.
Endpoint Protection with Advanced Security Solutions
Another significant challenge that the Coalition faced was a persistent issue with spam related to their domain. This problem hindered their ability to receive important communications and connect with their members effectively. Our team implemented robust solutions to resolve these spam issues, ensuring that the Coalition could receive the right emails without the constant interference of unwanted messages.
This proactive approach improved their email communication and restored their confidence in using their domain for outreach and engagement.
Logo Vectorization and Branding Support
We also assisted the Buy Local Coalition by vectorizing its logo to enhance its brand identity. This process involved converting the logo into a scalable format that can be used across various platforms and materials without losing quality.
A well-defined brand identity is crucial for any organization, and this enhancement has given the Coalition a professional look that reflects its commitment to supporting local businesses.
Membership Management and Communication
To further support the Buy Local Coalition, we helped implement systems for managing their membership using MembershipWorks. This platform is designed to streamline membership management, enabling organizations to efficiently track renewals, communicate with members, and manage events.
With MembershipWorks, the Coalition can maintain accurate records and keep its members informed about important updates and initiatives. This streamlined approach not only ensures that members stay on track with renewals and announcements but also enhances overall engagement within the community.
Final Thoughts
The partnership with the Buy Local Coalition illustrates our dedication to empowering non-profit organizations to thrive in their missions. By transforming their website into a dynamic directory, resolving spam issues, and supporting branding and membership management, we have helped the Coalition enhance its outreach and effectiveness in promoting local businesses.
NDHosting is proud to support the Buy Local Coalition as they continue to positively impact their community.
