			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Company Background:</strong> A leading strategic provider of supply management solutions whose products enable companies to identify and realize sustained value across the supply management life. Its suite of enterprise applications allows companies to interact with their suppliers for product sourcing, price negotiation, contract management. The company also offers extensive consulting services as well as in depth spend analysis.<br />
<span id="more-6"></span><br />
<strong>Challenge</strong><br />
Despite having tens of thousands of contacts in its database, the company was unable to leverage their data due its cumbersome legacy contact management system. The tool that had been inherited through an acquisition provided only limited access and visibility to the data. â€œIt was difficult for anyone outside of our IT organization to use the system and so for the most part it sat idle. Even when the system was able to be accessed, the data was inconsistent and unreliableâ€.</p>
<p>With undiscovered opportunities trapped within their own system and with an increasing need for online marketing programs, the search to find a better solution became a top priority. The challenge was to find an affordable end to end solution that would incorporate a user friendly CRM system with a powerful and expandable sales force automation tool. It needed the ability to support email marketing campaigns while systematically growing the database while identifying potential new opportunities.  And of course it needed to be able to be accessed my multiple users without requiring assistance from IT.</p>
<p><strong>Solution</strong><br />
Coming on the recommendation of well respected direct response analyst, Venntive was the answer. Its capabilities seemed to be endless. It did everything the company was looking for and at price point that was almost suspect. Venntive seemed to be the best kept secret in the industry.</p>
<p>One of its initial tests was in an effort to breathe life into the companyâ€™s failing webinar program. They decided to use the new found tool to promote its latest event. The results; an immediate and overwhelming success.</p>
<p>Shortly there after the company rolled out a series of online initiatives aimed at enhancing and expanding their presence in the marketplace and providing a substantial lift and traction to its lead generation programs.</p>
<p>Venntive was so successful that in less than a year after its implementation the company made the decision to build a branded portal to the application.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong><br />
â€¢    Lead production increased by 390% within one year<br />
â€¢    Within one year of implementation 74% of email campaign driven leads added into sales pipeline<br />
â€¢    Within 10 months average webinar registration increased from 62 to 264<br />
â€¢    More than doubling of average response rate<br />
â€¢    The ability to identify â€œHot Prospectsâ€ via the systems criteria matching<br />
â€¢    Data captured and driven directly into the database from multiple response mechanisms<br />
â€¢    The ability to deliver real time reporting and analysis which increased overall effectiveness rates</p>
<p class="G-Body"><strong>Customer Feedback</strong><br />
<em>â€œBringing on Venntive was one of the best investments our company could have ever made. The proof is in the resultsâ€.<o:p></o:p></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Company Background: </strong>A 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1999 to promote architectural and design solutions to global, social and humanitarian crises. Through competitions, workshops, educational forums, partnerships with aid organizations and other activities, this non-profit organization creates opportunities for architects and designers from around the world to help communities in need. They believe that where resources and expertise are scarce, innovative, sustainable and collaborative design can make a difference.<br />
<span id="more-5"></span><br />
<strong>Challenge</strong><br />
As with many non-profit organizations the ability for AFH to successfully fulfill its charter is heavily dependant on their ability to rally the interest and support of like-minded individuals and organizations and to raise outside awareness for their cause. With only a few hundred contacts and limited resources they needed a systematic way to expedientially grow their database, effectively market and promote their cause, and attract support and raise funding. Without such a solution in place their growth would remain stagnant.</p>
<p><strong>Solution</strong><br />
After much research the organization selected Venntive to address their ever growing sales support and marketing needs. Venntive - a fully integrated CRM sales force automation solution gave them the ability to manage and expand their database by creating targeted email campaigns with inviting user friendly interfaces and response mechanisms that fed directly into the database.  Venntive, with its real time reporting and analysis provided visibility into who their audience was and how to best engage them to support their efforts. By enabling the organization to build better and more effective campaigns they were able to make more informed decisions on how to promote and move the business forward.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong><br />
Within weeks of implementing Venntive the client began executing awareness and lead generation campaigns. The results were dramatic:<br />
â€¢    An immediate and marked increase in unique visitors to their website<br />
â€¢    A  substantial lift in both online and non-web inquires<br />
â€¢    Doubling the number of contacts within their database in three months.<br />
â€¢    Identifying and building an active lead funnel<br />
â€¢    Defining a lead â€œnurturingâ€ program to support future business<br />
â€¢    Identifying and tapping into previously undiscovered sources of revenue and resources</p>
<p><strong>Customer Feedback</strong><br />
<em> â€œWith Venntive, for the first time we were really able to understand who our audience was and how to leverage that information so that we could expand our ability to help those who needed it most.â€</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and taking all reasonable steps to protect all data and information supplied to Venntive.com. We protect your privacy in a variety of ways including using industry accepted security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by our system.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span> The Venntive Privacy Policy is designed to ensure the safety and accuracy of Internet users&#8217; personal information, whether gathered on this site or by our clients. We are in the e-mail business, and understand the importance of personal information security. We are absolutely committed to personal privacy on the Internet.</p>
<p>We enable our clients to reach their customers with highly personalized communications narrowly tailored to their interests. Our technical and marketing efforts bring us into contact with millions and millions of consumers. Therefore, privacy is absolutely critical to the way we do business. To that end, we strive to only work with companies guarding any personal information they collect from their existing or potential customers.</p>
<p>Venntive is a permission-based marketing company and seeks to uphold the privacy, security and comfort level of everyone with whom we come in contact.</p>
<p>Venntive collects data from Internet users including non-personally identifiable information from its site&#8217;s visitors, IP address of their server and what pages they visited. We use this information to continuously improve our site&#8217;s functionality. Venntive also collects personally identifiable information, including e-mail addresses, from those visitors who opt-in to receive some information from us, make inquiries or comments. We use this information to directly respond to visitors&#8217; communications. If a customer joins an online marketing program with any of our clients, they typically submit some personally identifiable information to participate in this program. However, the type and amount of information collected varies, and each of our clients specifies what information is collected.</p>
<p>Venntive utilizes the industry&#8217;s leading data security solutions and has implemented policies and procedures to ensure the physical and electronic security of data stored by Venntive. Venntive employs permission-based marketing principles: it requires its clients to communicate only to users who affirmatively express an interest in receiving e-mails relevant to their interests in a particular company or product. Permission to receive e-mails may be granted and taken away; in other words customers may &#8220;opt-in&#8221; and &#8220;opt-out&#8221;. If a customer chooses to opt-out, the Venntive client is required to stop sending messages to that customer. Venntive puts a high value on a customer&#8217;s ability to discontinue receiving unwanted e-mail.</p>
<p>If you no longer wish to receive email from a Venntive client, please use the link provided at the bottom of every email to unsubscribe or modify your subscription.  Do not send an email asking to be removed or unsubscribed with no identifying information about the email originally received.</p>
<p>Venntive utilizes Cookie technology for purposes of web site traffic analysis such as the time/date of the visit, the time/date of last visit, the page viewed, the referrer, transaction information for eCommerce pages, and other data. Venntive tracks click behavior in the e-mails it sends out. This data is used to update specific user-profile information, ascertain the areas of most interest to opt-in e-mail recipients, and to personalize e-mail messages to them.</p>
<p>Venntive does not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease any personal information whether gathered by Venntive itself or received from its clients. When Venntive, on behalf of its clients, collects personally identifiable information from opt-in participants in those clients&#8217; marketing programs, such information belongs to those respective clients and is subject to their policies on sharing of the end user information.</p>
<p>Venntive is a general audience site and is not directed to children under the age of 13. Whether for itself or for its clients, Venntive will not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from or about anyone under 13. Venntive will make the best effort to assist its clients in complying with privacy laws and adhering to the highest industry standards on privacy.</p>
<p>If you have received unsolicited email sent via our system or purporting to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that email with your comments to abuse@Venntive.com for review.</p>
<p>If you simply wish to opt out from receiving a client&#8217;s emails, use the links at the bottom of every email to modify or remove your subscription. Do not send an email request to us.</p>
<p>We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spam is absolutely prohibited by Venntive.</p>
<p><span id="more-11"></span>Venntive provides the Venntive system suite of email marketing tools to their customers, supports ONLY permission-based email marketing practices. Venntive has some of the strictest policies in the email industry and supporting procedures that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Help prevent the Venntive system from being used for the purpose of unsolicited email campaigns.</li>
<li>Encourage permission-based marketing.</li>
<li>Respond to all complaints suggesting the Venntive system has been used as a vehicle to send unsolicited email.</li>
</ul>
<p>Venntive actively monitors import lists and outgoing emails for suspiciously large intended or actual broadcasts. Any customer found to be using Venntive for Spam is subject to being permanently barred from ever using the Venntive system.</p>
<p>Spam is unsolicited commercial email, junk mail, or bulk mail that has not been requested by the recipient. In addition to wasting valuable resources and time, it is intrusive, irrelevant and often offensive. Typically, spam emails do not contain an option to unsubscribe from the mailing list. Spam is the opposite of permission-based emails &#8212;- those that are anticipated, personal, relevant and often associated with a &#8220;pre-existing business or personal relationship.&#8221; If you send an email out through Venntive that generates a spam complaint, you will be responsible for providing an opt-in record for the complaint at issue. Any spam complaints that are not successfully appealed are assessed a $20-100 fine.</p>
<p><strong>Preventing Unsolicited Emails Via Venntive system</strong></p>
<p>Users of the Venntive system must abide by a strictly enforced End User License Agreement. Under this agreement, the user promises to not abuse the Venntive system or to send spam. User specifically agrees not to send unsolicited bulk email, for commercial or non-commercial purposes (unsolicited bulk email is defined as email sent to more than 10 individuals without their permission). The agreement also includes such provisions as:</p>
<p>User agrees not to post, upload or otherwise transmit:</p>
<ul>
<li>any content related to inappropriate subject matters;</li>
<li>any content to &#8220;rented&#8221; or &#8220;purchased&#8221; lists;</li>
<li>any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another&#8217;s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;</li>
<li>any content that you do not have a right to post and transmit under any law or contractual/fiduciary relationships;</li>
<li>any content, such that such posting, uploading, or transmission constitutes the infringement of any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party;</li>
<li>any materials that contain software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;</li>
<li>any materials which imposes an unreasonable large load on our infrastructure;</li>
<li>any content that is harmful to minors;</li>
<li>content that intentionally or unintentionally violates any applicable local, state, national or international law, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, any rules of national or other securities exchange, including without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, and any regulations having the force of law;</li>
<li>content that is misleading or impersonates any person or entity or falsely states or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity;</li>
<li>content with manipulated, or forged identifiers;</li>
<li>content promoting harm or providing instructional information about illegal activities;</li>
</ul>
<p>With regard to email campaigns, all users of Venntive must also accept that an unsubscribe option will be automatically appended to every email sent to more than 100 people via the Venntive system. This is mandatory. When the unsubscribe option is requested by an email recipient, Venntive system automatically suppresses emails to that email address in future campaigns. This suppression feature is also mandatory.</p>
<p>In the event that a Venntive system User violates any one of our usage rules, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by Venntive, Venntive reserves the right to suspend or terminate, without notice, access to the Venntive system User&#8217;s account and all related data. We rely on feedback from various governmental and industry sources, a network of the leading ISP&#8217;s in the world and millions of email recipients to assist in our policing against spam.</p>
<p><strong>Permission-Based Marketing</strong></p>
<p>Venntive offers free tools to encourage Venntive system Users to create and manage double opt-in lists of contacts. By building and using double opt-in lists, Venntive system Users can be certain that they are sending emails to recipients that have expressly given their permission, and requested, to receive such emails. If a Venntive System User desires to allow people to subscribe to any of their email lists on the Venntive system, they are required to use Venntive&#8217;s double opt-in subscription form.</p>
<p><strong>Recommended Action &#8212; Unsolicited Email Complaints</strong></p>
<p>If a complaint is received by Venntive regarding alleged unsolicited emails being sent from our system tools, an immediate investigation is undertaken.</p>
<p>Warning &#8212; The Venntive system User is notified that an unsolicited email complaint has been lodged against them and a demand is issued to &#8220;show proof&#8221; that the complainant opted in to the User&#8217;s list. The User is reminded of the terms they accepted in the End User License Agreement (including possible legal ramifications if the user has is guilty of spamming). In addition, the complainant&#8217;s email address is automatically tagged as &#8220;unsubscribed&#8221; if the complainant did unsubscribe&#8211;so no further emails are sent to the complainant. The User is also required to manually remove the complainant&#8217;s email address from their contact list if the complainant did not unsubscribe.</p>
<p>Termination&#8212;If Venntive has ANY reason to believe the User, despite the warnings, is or will continue to send unsolicited bulk email to more than 10 individuals without their permission, or any complainant who has previously unsubscribed, the User&#8217;s Venntive account privileges are subject to immediate termination.</p>

<p><strong>Thank you for reviewing our Anti-Spam Policy.</strong></p>
<p>Many spam complaints are registered with anti-spam agencies. We fully support the efforts of agencies working to responsibly curtail the sending of unsolicited commercial email. However, if an individual opted in to receive a Venntive and then falsely and/or maliciously files a spam complaint against Venntive, we will cooperate fully with appropriate agencies to ban the user from further use of anti-spam software and community.</p>
<p>We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time.</p>
