PERSONAL FUNDRAISING / REFERRAL PAGES Each registered site User may create a Personal Fundraising or Referral Page depending on which is applicable to their organization.

Listed below is the creation and editing process of the PFP’s followed by screenshots of a Personal Referral Page created for Red Stampede to use as a business solution to recruit and automate customer payment and site deployment.

Each User may have multiple personal fundraising pages and may customize the title, description, and the amount of their personal fundraising goal.

By default, the site administrator creates a site wide template for all personal fundraising pages so if the User prefers not to edit or customize any editable section they may begin using their page immediately.

CREATING A PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE

(PFP)

Personal Fundraising Pages are available to registered site Users only. If a site visitor attempts to access or create a fundraising page, they are redirected to a landing page as seen below requesting them to create their page which then activates the site registration process

Once registered, the User may take the following steps to create their personal fundraising page

Login to your Account Enter your email address and zip code in the appropriate box and click the Go button

Locate your "My Fundraising Page" widget in the middle column of the Member Dashboard which by default is the landing page when a User signs into the platform

Click the button labeled “Create my Fundraising Page or Edit My Fundraising Page”. This is your Personal Fundraising page, which is already populated with a suggested title, description, and goal for your convenience. You may edit any or all of these fields to personalize your page even more.

EDITING A PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE (PFP)

Click the Edit Button from your fundraising dashboard

Users may use the defaulted content created by site Admins or edit their page with their own content. Users may edit the title, description, fundraising goal, whether to show or hide their progress, and select if they would like to create a “Money-bomb” for their page.

The Money-bomb feature is new and allows each User to create a fundraising campaign with a start and end date and time. The money-bomb is similar to normal PFP’s except it contains an auto-feed feature at the top of the page that lists the name, amount and location of anyone who has contributed through the page during the money-bomb campaign.

User’s may select the edit button at the bottom of the page to save any changes to their page

You will be redirected to your public page as

shown below, and will see the yellow alert box indicating that your page has been saved.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE USER’S PUBLIC PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE

Each donation page contains the title and description of personal fundraising campaign along with a personal fundraising thermometer to track the fundraising success of each User. There is also a tagline personalized for each User to help that specific User achieve their personal fundraising goal. To reiterate, the title, description, and amount may all be edited to each Users’ preference, or they may decide to use the defaulted content and value that are preset by the site’s administrators

For the registered User, there will also be a link to View the Fundraising Dashboard and a link to edit the page, but these links are only visible to the User who has created the page

Each PFP has our Social Sharing tool embedded. User’s may share their PFP with their Facebook friends and twitter followers to promote their fundraising campaign.

Each time someone contributes to the User’s personal fundraising page, the platform will track their donation and apply it to the Users’ personal thermometer. With each new contribution received through the User’s personal fundraising page, their thermometer will rise along with the percentage of their personal fundraising goal so that everyone can see their success

PERSONAL REFERRAL PAGES Red Stampede as a company uses the platform for its own business operations. We have modified certain features and functions to

align with the specific needs and objectives of a small business as compared to a political campaign or nonprofit using the system.

Personal Referral pages may be created by any registered site on Red Stampede. Red Stampede’s strategy was to use these pages to

build company partners and also offer incentives to existing clients to help us recruit new customers to the platform.

Using the same set of tools that a political campaign or nonprofit would use, we have been able to successfully expand our ability to

reach and retain new customers by providing a tool to allow Users to retain customers and we in turn either provide them discounts or

referral fees.

The basic layout and functionality is very similar to that of PFP’s.

Each referral page contains the title and description of the personal referral with a personal referral thermometer to track the success

of each User.

Each User will also have a personal tagline to promote helping that specific User achieve their personal referral goal.

One main difference is the layout of the form is vertical instead of horizontal which allows for more information – like order forms,

customization requests, upgrades, design features, etc.

Create a Personal Referral page. Each page can be turned into a money/referral bomb at anytime which will auto scroll the users most recent donors to give through their page

We use this tool to encourage others to make referrals. You can earn money by creating your personal referral page with a single click. Try it here.

Customize your page or use one of the templates provided. You can change the title, description, and the goal amount of each fundraising page created.

View your public fundraising or referral page

Users can track and monitor their fundraising progress from their personal fundraising dashboards and receive automated alerts for each new donation received

Share your page to Facebook and Twitter

Embed a link into your email program like Outlook or Gmail, embed your personal fundraising thermometer and/or a link to your donation page in a website or blog.

Users can send emails to their friends on the website, contacts from any online email service, and/or contacts on any major social network asking them to make a donation to your organization through their fundraising page. Invite your contacts to buy a Red Stampede website through your page or embed it in a personal website or blog

Just like with PFP’s, each User has a link to View their Referral Dashboard and a link to edit the page, but these links are only visible to the User who has created the page

Each PRP has our Social Sharing tool embedded. User’s may share their PRP with their Facebook friends and twitter followers to promote their fundraising campaign.

We modify our progress tracking to reflect referrals – not money. Therefore, each time a new customer purchases a platform through a User’s page, they are credited with 1 referral which will show on their personal referral thermometer on their member and fundraising dashboards.

As shown to the right and on the following pages, the donation form is replaced with a shopping cart formatted form which will allow new customers to select a website package, indicate the names and information of site Admins, select a design package, select any product upgrades, and submit payment for their web platform and any other documentation needed before launch of the site.
