We wanted to share our own favorite tips for getting the most out of your Qgiv account!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Widgets are one of my favorite Qgiv features! You can <strong>embed your donation form or amounts container on any page<\/strong> of your organization\u2019s website or any other relevant web page\u2026 even in a blog post! If you\u2019re running a campaign that revolves around a certain donation amount, you can embed a widget that displays that amount option preselected on your form for donors! Plus, it\u2019s just fun to say \u201cwidgets.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211; Sarah Sebastian, Director of Brand Communications<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;With the introduction of the <strong>cloning and Form Builder features<\/strong>, our clients now have a whole new level of flexibility and customization at their fingertips. They can use them to\u00a0<strong>build donation forms that include compelling images and calls to action<\/strong>, all with the unique look and feel needed to fit into any campaign. It&#8217;s exciting to see what clients are coming up with!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Jennifer Mansfield, Vice President of Customer Experience<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you spend some time building <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/donation-receipts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">really nice receipts<\/a><\/span> in the <strong>receipts area<\/strong> of the control panel. When I&#8217;ve donated to organizations in the past, their <strong>receipts had a big impact on whether or not I donated again.<\/strong> One organization thanked me by name and showed me a picture of their staff thanking me for my gift &#8212; it made me so happy to know that real people appreciated my contribution.<br \/>\n-Abby Jarvis, Nonprofit Education Manager<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manually awarded badges<\/strong> are a fun way to <strong>reward people for things that the system doesn\u2019t track on its own.<\/strong> You can see a list of awardees for a badge to keep track of everyone! Use the badge maker or upload images of your own for personalized badges.&#8221;<br \/>\n-Josh Story, UI\/UX Designer<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile responsive pages<\/strong> should be huge for any nonprofit. I personally use my phone for everything from emails to tracking workouts; why would donating be any different?\u00a0Plus, <strong>a properly set up mobile page looks so much better<\/strong> and more professional.<br \/>\n&#8211; Andrew Denniger, Sales<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sharing your event on social<\/strong> media has never been easier.
