Communication Challenge
Thanks for taking the time to do the Communication Challenge! Remember to complete all the steps to be entered into a drawing for a Deltasig Prize Pack worth $250!
Overview: You’ll be using memberplanet to send a text message and/or email, also known as a Broadcast, to yourself and a few other Deltasig admin users, officers, or local executive committee members. Then you’ll check the tracking metrics. Once completed, please take the short survey at the bottom of this page to be entered into the drawing. You will receive one entry for a Deltasig Prize Pack for each of the four challenges completed.
Let’s get started! Create a distribution list:
First, you’ll need to navigate to memberplanet and sign in to your admin portal to create a distribution list. If you do not have login credentials for the memberplanet platform, please fill out our claim admin account survey. Please note that these login credentials for memberplanet will be different than your current Deltasig credentials.
