Chapters of Safari Club International usually have similar organizations, goals and challenges. As a volunteer organization, it is often difficult to promote a
Chapter effectively. A web site can be
a strong tool in establishing a Chapter’s identity. It is extremely valuable as a marketing tool
and it can add credibility to your organization. A presence on the web is a great opportunity
to get the word out on the important work that your Chapter may be doing.
The Chapters supported by Tepato Systems have found their websites to be effective tools,
both for communicating with their members and for promoting the Chapters to the general public. Some of the most common uses of a Chapter website include:
- Posting the dates
and times of Chapter events, including links to the location for
directions.
- Publishing the forms
used for membership and fundraiser donations.
- Promote the Chapter’s various educational programs, including
application forms for participants.
- Publish a list
of auction items and raffle items for the annual Chapter fundraiser.
- Offer donors a free link from your website to their website. This free advertising for the donor can sometimes be the motivator to encourage a 100% donation rather than a 30/70 or 50/50 split of auction proceeds.
- Enable donors to contact the Chapter about potential donations, including unsolicited donations from previously unknown donors.
- Automatic forwarding of website email to existing private email for Chapter departments or board members (to avoid using actual email addresses on the site and hopefully minimize spam).
If you'd like to create a website to serve your Chapter, or if you currently have a website but are unhappy with the support you're getting from your current vendor, please contact Tepato Systems. We can develop a new site according to your
specifications or modify an existing site. Our prices start at $150 per page.
For long term support, we can provide maintenance and web hosting at very competitive prices. Our support packages are priced according to the amount of maintenance involved and the size of hosting space required. The packages also include the annual renewal of your domain name registration. Hosting is available without any maintenance or support, if desired (but hosting price is discounted with a maintenance agreement).
