Unifying multi-channel communications to improve member engagement and operational efficiency.

Executive Summary:

A nonprofit in legal education faced challenges managing fragmented communication channels and manual outreach processes. Blue5Green partnered with the organization to implement Salesforce Marketing Cloud, modernizing communication workflows and integrating the solution with the existing .NET-based Member Connect portal. By leveraging reusable, modular templates and AI-driven features like predictive engagement scoring and Send Time Optimization (STO), the solution delivered enhanced member engagement and improved operational efficiency with measurable outcomes.

Client Background

The client is a nonprofit dedicated to legal education, focused on providing high-quality training, certifications, and curriculum updates for legal professionals. Serving a large and diverse membership, the organization relied on legacy systems that complicated their communication strategy and data consistency efforts.

The Challenge

The organization struggled with managing multi-channel communications. They used separate systems to send emails, SMS messages, and handle member data, which led to data silos and inefficient workflows. Key challenges included:

• Fragmented Communication Channels: Without a unified platform, email, SMS, and other digital communications operated in isolation. This fragmentation led to data inconsistencies and hindered the delivery of personalized messaging to different segments of their member base.

• Time-Intensive Manual Processes: Manual handling of communication tasks increased the risk of errors and delayed critical outreach efforts. The reliance on routine, manual operations diverted resources from strategic initiatives.

• Integration with Legacy Systems: The client’s .NET-based Member Connect portal and related applications were not fully connected with modern digital marketing tools. This disconnect affected data accuracy and limited the ability to report on member engagement effectively.

• Limited Personalization: Without centralized data, tailoring messages to the unique needs and preferences of members was challenging. This led to a generic outreach approach that did not fully engage the audience.
