We have been using ThankView for many years now and have found it easy to use. From our annual Days of Giving to donor birthdays to check-ins during the height of the pandemic, we were always trying to come up with new ways to connect with our donors, and ThankView was a huge way we did that. It's always what I suggest when looking for new opportunities!
Pros
ThankView is the easiest, quickest way to acknowledge birthdays, anniversaries, pledge completions, scholarship thank you's...the list keeps growing each day as we find a different use. We have found that most users easily adapt to the website and can send their own ThankViews with ease.
Cons
Sometimes the analytics can be hard to navigate. But once you figure it out, you can easily see the open rates, watch rates, and other important stats that you value when creating content and seeing if what you are doing is worth your time.

I am eager to continue building out communications strategies that leverage ThankView's platform and am excited to deliver fun, relevant messaging to our constituents.
Pros
College Athletics and Donor Engagement require personality, innovation, and creativity. Creating special, digital moments that are authentic and deeply personal matters when we target the proverbial bottom line. ThankView affords that type of communication, partnered with very helpful analytics. It delivers the best of both worlds.
Cons
I really have very little to argue with the product - I only wish I more time to devote to the use of it. Actually I have one con --- it's TOO MUCH FUN and distracts me from my other responsibilities!

The onboarding was easy and we were able to start using the product almost immediately. Many members of our team are trained to use it and we've had great success with Video Requests to get content from other external stakeholders from our orgnization.
Pros
The ease of use for us to get a real-time, personalized message out to a donor. The responses we've gotten as a result are far beyond those with a traditional email thank you messages.
Cons
Overall the editing process could be easier to use and offer more options for text animations, GIF support, and audio-only messages.

Overall, the experience has been great. Renewed for years 4 and 5 and excited to continue to learn the platform and develop new and innovative uses.
Pros
This product is super easy to use and has an incredibly robust set of features. I would say more than a small team can even use.
Cons
Not much... easy to set up and use, very user-friendly. Can be a lengthy process to send videos with the amount of personalization available. The biggest concern is the reporting, where it can be hard to segment just the emails you want in a certain report as all videos are listed.

ThankView: Just What I Needed
Reviewed on 2023/12/08
Pros
I love how easy it is to use and that it is quick to deploy. Our donors enjoy receiving ThankViews for stewardship. Everyone in our office was able to learn the program quickly! The support for ThankView is excellent too. It makes connecting to uninvolved alumni so much easier and puts the human aspect back into supporting a tangible experience like education.
Cons
I wish that the email testing feature was a little better. The content you type and what you see in preview on the message page are out of sync.

ThankView is a unique & effective stewardship tool.
Reviewed on 2023/06/28
Pros
User-friendly tools to make basic edits to video. Tools for requesting videos from recorders is amazing -- includes panel for them to see script you've written while they record. Built it into standardized stewardship practices for groups like first-time donors and event-acquired donors, and it's been very successful to put a face to the name and deepen new relationships prior to an in-person visit.
Cons
The gif feature needs to be improved so that you can pick from more than just the first few seconds of the video. The auto-captioning feature is very glitchy.

An invalueable tool for stewardship and engagement
Reviewed on 2023/03/20
Pros
Video to masses of people all at once. The ability to customize messages with merge fields. Ability to put a face to the name of scholarship recipients to their donors really connects alums to campus and helps donors feel great about the impact they are having on their individual students. Our best campaign is our ongoing happy birthday message that is sent out daily on alums actualy birthdays. This is better than sending messages in the month of their birthdays, the actual day. we have great open rates on this extremely personalized message.
Cons
We have yet to connect Raiser's Edge and Thankview in an easy to upload manner. We have to modify our excel spreadsheets to fit the system for ease of use. I am hopeful once we try using RE NXT that it will become even easier. I would like the ability to text people because emails often go unread or unwatched. I think texting videos to peoples phone AND emailing them would significantly increase open rates. Would like to have more merge field options as permanent.

ThankView has been a tremendous asset in improving our donor engagement and email open rates. Since implementing ThankView in our overall strategy, we have seen a steady and reliable increase in email opens and positive donor responses. We have had more engagement opportunities to grow donors into major givers and more.
Pros
ThankView is quick, simple and user-friendly. I often suggest using ThankView in the specialty campaigns I manage to add an extra layer of engagement and personalization. We have seen many great responses and feedback from utilizing this platform to reach our donors.
Cons
I wish there were a way to maintain data in ThankView even if records need to be deleted after a campaign.

We use ThankView for fundraising, alumni engagement (inviting them to events, sending updates, etc.), and improving our team's culture. We might use ThankView a little too much, hehe. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] of our Foundation sent individual thank you videos to each staff member during the pandemic to boost morale. We also have received so much good feedback about personalized videos that we couldn't go back to how we were before. ThankView has absolutely changed how we communicate with our constituents for the better. We would be lost without you, ThankView.
Pros
ThankView is by far our most favorite software. The ease and user-friendliness of the platform is absolutely unbeatable in our eyes and 1,000% worth the investment. The reporting and analytics also blow other platforms out of the water, I WISH we could use ThankView for all of our communications.
Cons
I wish you could both text and email in a single campaign, but that is something very minor and doesn't negatively impact my experience with ThankView.

We wanted to increase the amount of personalized stewardship that our team sends without increasing the number of staff. ThankView has allowed us to use video at scale, sending personalized touches to many people with a small investment of time.
Pros
ThankView is simple to use - the website walks you through the steps to creating a successful video landing page and makes it difficult to mess up. I love the ability to create custom landing pages with different imagery depending on the focus of the video. I also appreciate how easy it is to use a single video to send personalized communication to many people. Even if we don't say an individual's name in the video itself, the ability to include their name in the email and on the landing page makes it feel truly personalized. I also love that we can have users record videos directly in the ThankView system, which makes it easy to add them to landing pages.
Cons
I find the system very intuitive on the whole. I did experience a small learning curve in understanding where within the system I can create branded landing pages and envelopes outside of creating them within a campaign, but that was easy to overcome.

We are building relationships and celebrating life events with our customers and prospects with customized videos. Our team adoption has been a little slow but a few power users are really seeing the benefits of sending videos and being efficient with their time.
Pros
Our team liked how easy it was for our sales representatives to send relationship building videos to their customers or prospects. The impact we have received from recipients has been outstanding. They are impressed with our technical know-how. Little do they know how easy it is to do.
Cons
Holiday theme templates seem to be a little "unprofessional" feeling for business-to-business communications. Library organization is a little cumbersome.

ThankView allows our small team to make a big impact with donors across the nation. Each donor can feel the appreciation we have and be personally engaged, while making sure our team is not stretched thin and we stay within budget.
Pros
ThankView allows our organization to keep in touch with donors with genuine and "in-person" type feel at a low overhead. ThankView is very user friendly by guiding you along the way, providing best recording tips when you solicit video responses and by keeping everything streamlined.
Cons
One addition to the analytics tool would be having the platform identify contacts that previously engaged highly with a video that did not engage to the same degree; this analytic could be month over month or compare the last campaign the contact received to the most recent one.

ThankView was a blessing to us during the pandemic lockdown - it allowed us to make personal connections with our current families, alums, and even our colleagues, via video when we could not hold meetings in person. We were able to check in with donors, continue to cultivate relationships, and even solicit gifts during that time. We found this to be very important to our older constituents who were often isolated.
Pros
Not only is ThankView user-friendly and quite intuitive, but it is also fun to use! Our messages on this platform are well received by our constituents as evidenced by our significant open- and click-through rates. ThankView has supported the cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of our donors in a unique way that stands apart from an email or printed letter.
Cons
We truly love ThankView and are working to use it to its fullest. We have not identified anything that we wanted to do that we could not implement.

The business problems that we are solving especially since we are a very small team on the developmnent staff is the ability to scale, schedule, time, and peraonalize our outreach with donors so they feel connected to the mission and know that their input and engagement is critical and valuable.
Pros
What is most impactful is the real time feedback on the donors engagement with the email/test and video. Our [SENSITIVE CONTENT] finds this critical in his next steps to deepen the relationships with the donors. The personalization of each message to the specific donor with the personalized impact they have made is also critical. Having the donors story through the many campaigns we engage them in makes a difference. It helps us know what and how and when to engage with them next.
Cons
We are moving from NXT Raisers Edge to Sales Force. It is not clear how this integration will work. Looking forward to a seamless integration.

We started using ThankView during the pandemic to maintain relationships where we would typically use in-person meetings. Now, we use ThankView in a number of creative ways, including donor updates, donation-specific thank you messages, and general impact messaging. The results have been truly amazing — we often get responses from stakeholders telling us that our ThankViews are the best thank you’s they have ever received.
Pros
ThankView makes it easy to put relationships first. I especially like that ThankView allows us to choose strategic goals for each campaign (thanking, fundraising, birthdays/anniversaries, etc), with custom templates for each type. We use the video request feature often, which has allowed our team to collaborate on our donor stewardship.
Cons
The process for creating new landing pages/envelopes is functional, but clunky. To create, one has to break the campaign creation flow and enter a new workflow.

Our overall experience with ThankView has been very positive. We love the product (it happens to be my favorite product that we've invested in in my 9 years in my role). The personalized experience that we're able to provide our donors and constituents using ThankView is unlike anything else we are able to do using other products that we have available to us.
Pros
ThankView has been a game changer for our nonprofit organization, especially in this "COVID-19 digital landscape!" There are so many things we like:
1) We use it primarily to send personalized thank you videos to donors and birthday emails, but have found other uses for it as well. The response that we receive from our donors and constituents is worth the cost of the software. People love receiving personalized communications and we've been able to build some great relationships.
2) It is easy to use (so easy that I was able to virtually train a group of college students to use it on their own) and very efficient when it comes to sending personalized communication to our constituents. We can send about 50 personalized videos in less than 1. 5 hours.
3) You're able to see who opened, clicked, and watched your video.
4) ThankView was actually been a really great way for us to keep our student employees working during our COVID-19 shutdown this year as well.
Cons
I wish there was an easier way to see within the platform who responded to an email and also a way to respond within the platform to the email to track the correspondence there (so it can be easily exported and added to our CRM).

ThankView is very beneficial to create personalized messages to students and donors for higher engagement and great communication. It is a fun message that has many features, like the embed a pdf. This is a great tool for all types of messages.
Pros

Cons
