St. Louis Based Pushup Social Joins Network of Companies Providing Applications and Solutions that Complement Blackbaud Products
[ST. LOUIS / Dec. 17, 2014] — Pushup Social, a technology that adds a social community to an existing website in minutes, today announced that the company has joined the Blackbaud Partner Network as a Blackbaud Technology Partner. With this partnership, Pushup Social joins a network of companies that provide applications and solutions that extend Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB) product functionality in new ways.
“Blackbaud is committed to introducing nonprofits to the latest technologies that can help address specific needs and open the doors to new opportunities,” said Chris Clinton, vice president, global channels and partner ecosystem. “Pushup Social is a great social media solution for organizations wanting to increase the overall ROI of their websites and connect with donors, volunteers and other stakeholders who are passionate about their cause.”
The partnership allows Pushup Social to leverage Blackbaud’s multiple platforms to enable nonprofits to share content, photos, videos and more, while engaging supporters directly on their own website instead of third-party platforms, like Facebook. For website visitors, this provides an environment free of noise and clutter to interact with the organization and peers of their choice. Additionally, Pushup Social organically increases a website’s Google rankings by keeping people on the site longer, creating original content through member interaction and increasing the average number of page views per visit.
“At Pushup Social, we help nonprofits maximize their online engagement by changing the way organizations and their supporters communicate with each other. This leads to more money raised, more volunteers and more opportunities to tell ‘your story.” said Jan Christian Andersen, CMO, Pushup Social. “It is an honor to join as a Blackbaud Technology Partner. With the wealth of organizations that currently utilize Blackbaud software already being ahead of the technology curve and understanding the correlation between engagement and long-term ROI, adding Pushup Social to their website is the logical next step. ”
