When it comes to member engagement, communication is everything. But if you’re juggling a patchwork of third-party email services, text apps, and spreadsheets just to send a message—you're not alone. Many associations and nonprofits face this same frustrating challenge. That’s where Contensive comes in.
Contensive’s all-in-one association software is designed to eliminate these pain points by integrating your communications directly with your membership database. The result? Smarter outreach, less manual work, and a better experience for your members.
Here’s how it works—and why it matters:
1. One Database, Many Channels
Because Contensive ties your email and texting tools directly to your central member database, you never have to import or sync data from another platform. You’re always working with the most up-to-date contact info, preferences, and segmentation options.
No more:
- Downloading and uploading spreadsheets
- Manually segmenting lists
- Risking message misfires to unsubscribed members
2. Smart Segmentation, Automatically
Want to message only board members? Lapsed donors? Members who attended last year’s annual meeting but not this year’s? With Contensive, you can filter and target based on any field or behavior tracked in your system—no extra setup required.
You can target by:
- Role or membership level
- Participation history
- Event registration
- Committee involvement
- And more
3. Send Email and Texts—No Switching Tools
Send professional emails and SMS messages straight from your dashboard. No exporting to Mailchimp or cross-referencing contacts in Constant Contact. Everything stays in one place, reducing errors and saving your team time.
And under the hood, Contensive uses Amazon Web Services’ Simple Email Service (AWS SES)—a trusted infrastructure used by some of the world’s largest brands—for reliable, high-volume email delivery. That means your emails are not only sent quickly, but with excellent deliverability and inbox placement.
4. Track Engagement in Real Time
Who opened your email? Who clicked the RSVP link? Did your text message go through? Contensive’s built-in analytics show you performance at a glance, so you can learn what’s working and fine-tune your communication strategy.
5. Built for Associations—Not Just Marketers
Generic tools weren’t made for membership organizations. Contensive was. That means features like member opt-in preferences, dues reminders, event invites, and personalized renewal notices are all built in—no plugins or workarounds needed.
Bringing It All Together
With Contensive, email and texting are part of a fully integrated platform designed specifically for associations and nonprofits. Because all your tools live in one system—from your member database and event registration to forms, invoicing, content management, and communications—everything works together seamlessly.
Need to send a reminder only to members who haven’t paid dues? Want to follow up with attendees after an event? Looking to personalize renewal notices based on membership type or history? With Contensive, it’s all connected—no syncing, no spreadsheets, no extra steps.
You get a unified solution that simplifies operations, increases engagement, and saves your staff valuable time—all while giving your members a better, more responsive experience.
Let’s simplify your communications—and everything else.
