Non-Profit
OMS Online, LLC provides comprehensive ecommerce and distribution services tailored to the unique needs facing nonprofit organizations. Specifically, OMS works with nonprofit organizations to fulfill every facet of an organization’s online requirements ranging from donations and communities to assisting with earned income strategies and setting up online stores with customized goods and apparel. OMS has worked with a number of non-profit organizations and has a strong history of success with Bono’s ONE.org, Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, and the United Nations Foundation, to name a few.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
OMS specializes in finding products specifically tailored to the mission of nonprofit organizations. This can include items that are American made, green, or any number of customizable characteristics to ensure they fulfill the mission of the organization. Already, OMS operates an online mall full of products and vendors that nonprofits may choose from in designing their merchandise. This selection and discounted prices are available only to registered not-for-profit organizations.
Additionally, OMS offers real-time tracking and reporting of these goods from manufacturer to warehouse and eventually to the doorstep of the donor. The software provided keeps up with inventory levels and generates online reports.
Another feature of OMS product development is the option to buy per sale. Rather than having large inventory levels tying up financial assets and donations, OMS offers the ability to purchase each piece of merchandise as it is sold. The profits of each sale go directly to the nonprofit and the costs of the merchandise are automatically deducted from the sale price. Thus, inventory levels become virtually nothing as OMS receives a purchase order, produces and ships the product, and returns the profits of the sale back to the nonprofit organization.
FUNDRAISING
Earned income is a difficult strategy for many nonprofits to break into if they have not had experience selling goods in the past. However, OMS has years of experience to ease the concerns of any nonprofit seeking to expand their fundraising potential. After choosing the products to promote, OMS sets up an online store and begins taking orders. Each order can be analyzed from placement to confirmation to shipment and delivery. OMS offers a number of different safety features to ensure the security of online customers and donors. Fraud protector, email validation, credit card integration, and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) all protect the individuals from financial threat and offer legitimacy and responsibility on behalf of the organization.
Some other fundraising benefits include financial donation acceptance in multiple currencies and flexible payment methods, which can be in one time, weekly, monthly or custom frequencies. This can also be done through the donation of gift cards for the nonprofit to use or otherwise resell.
Each of these options is just another way to raise support and promote the cause of the nonprofit. The full OMS nonprofit solution provides an effective way to analyze market trends as to what people are responding to, getting involved with, and purchasing most frequently.
COMMUNITIES
Interactive community calendars and message forums bring volunteers and donors together, allowing them to be more active in an organization. The community encourages local directors to get involved with each other to discuss and share ideas. This feature integrates mission, fundraising, and communication into a unified tool. It provides a single place for all members, volunteers, board members, and others to become informed and active.
The community can be used to promote events, organize reoccurring donations, keep track of various members, manage email signups, and even give local directors a place for ordering merchandise. The email campaigns themselves can be used for e-newsletters, coupons, updates, registration for events, and sending out press releases and recent news.
WEB-BASED MARKETING
OMS also helps to promote its organizations online. Each nonprofit is assisted in developing a site that is fully optimized to maximize exposure through search engine natural listings. Additionally, OMS can also integrate Yahoo! and Google keyword search marketing tools as both methods are effective in driving traffic to a nonprofit’s site thereby increasing the fundraising potential and further spreading the message of the organization. OMS allows the nonprofits to utilize referrers to track where donors are finding the site and see how effective their marketing is.
DONOR/VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
Manage annual campaigns, giving circles, auctions and donations within the OMS system. This system allows the nonprofit to track and manage donor and volunteer databases for the optimal fundraising and promotional strategies. Additionally, it allows nonprofits to recognize its constituents through stewardship emails, gift acknowledgments, registration, and simple sign-up to volunteer or learn more information.
