Salsa Highlight: Perfect your emails with A/B testing
Submitted Thu Aug 04 2011 14:35:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)Greetings!
It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's new in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.
We've highlighted this feature before, but it's so valuable to users that we thought we'd put the spotlight on it again:
Email A/B Testing
A/B Testing just means:
- Sending slightly different versions of your emails to compare performance.
For instance, you might be wondering:
- Will more people open an email with the subject "Please donate now" than "Help us reach our goal"?
Salsa's A/B testing makes it a snap to find the answer.

It's the "Salsa Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.
This week's feature is an oldie but a goodie, and one that many users aren't yet taking advantage of.
Personalize Emails with Dynamic Content
While a generic email message is fine to use for your online communications, email blasts that have personalized content directly relevant for the recipient often have more impact, result in more taken actions, and generate more page views.
The Salsa Email tool allows you to add several varieties of Dynamic Content from a picklist you'll find right under the tab ...

Salsa Highlight: SYBUNT and LYBUNT donor queries

It's the "Salsa Highlight," your quick hit on what's new in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.
Salsa's Query tool has grown to incorporate a number of donor-query options that you might want to be aware of heading into the second half of the year. It's never too early to start planning for those crucial year-end donations.
SYBUNT, LYBUNT, and other nifty donor queries
Assuming you're making use of Salsa Donations, you should see these choices when you go to the Supporter tab and build a new Query that uses Donation History.
A picklist lets you query for donors in many different ways. It's the options in the lower half of this list that are the newest and potentially most powerful features.
These tools should let your development team identify by name and/or target for email important segments of high- or lower-performing donors.

Update on Salsa Service
Submitted Mon Jan 31 2011 14:26:00 GMT-0500 (EST)At approximately 12:35 PM EST, we experienced an issue with one of our load balancers that resulted in intermittent connectivity issues for most users. We quickly realized the issue and brought additional resources online. Users may have noticed errors and connectivity issues for as much as 30 minutes, though the issue itself was isolated quickly and has been resolved. All Salsa pages and logins are functioning properly at this time.
