Trail Blazer Campaign Manager

As Treasurer of our committee, I use all of the financial functions as well as the campaign finance reporting function. Trail Blazer makes my job easier and more efficient.

Being a geezer, the lack of ability to increase font size presents challenges at times.

The price, it's a fraction of other CRMs. The support generally is very good as well

It's not very intuitive to use, time-consuming, and does not sync with Constant Contact or other major e-mail service.

Exceptional support and ability to speed to market data functionality affording at finger tips market voter information strategic to our campaign.

Not a direct to TB but rather only con is my entry into the campaign and start with TB I should have started sooner.

Trail Blazer is a user-friendly and straightforward way to track and report all information essential to fundraising - donors / contact info, contributions, pledges, events, and communications.

Donors: Easily track contact information, contribution history, log notes, Household information and a MULTITUDE of other areas. Interfaces with our state's voter database to easily import voter data on the spot.

Contributions: Simple data entry feature to assign contributions to a committee / client, dates, amounts, with notes / reminder pop ups if a donor is nearing his limits.

Pledges: Tracking, with ways to send communication reminders though the system as follow-up.

Events: Creation of events, logging of contribution, record of interfacing with a donor for responses / notes.

Communications: Ways to create and send mass or individual emails with email tracking.

Additionally, the customer service is second to none. I can email or call at any time of the day and the team is ALWAYS able to help me. They are always open to creating new features to make things work even better!

Email interface takes some time to get used to. Connecting through a Remote Desktop (on a Mac) sometimes presents challenges.
