Leave a comment

*Click here to access our latest newsletter (April 16, 2015) announcing our new Marketing Manager feature!


groupemailiconBetterBNC is delighted to announce a new feature which dramatically improves the way contest administrators communicate with those involved in their contest.

The platform’s new Marketing Manager feature allows contest administrators to easily communicate with users by sending email from the administrator dashboard to contest judges and contestants from both current and previous contest years.  

TCreate Campaignhe administrator can create and save email templates or create individual emails. You can target judges who have not yet finished assignments, or specific groups of contestants such as those who made entries last year, but haven’t done so yet in your current contest. You can launch campaigns to call for entries, or remind users of impending deadlines.  The feature is easy and intuitive to use and makes communicating with your judges and contestants more productive.  

The new Marketing Manager feature is part of BetterBNC’s 2015 platform upgrade and is available to contests at no additional cost.

Why Contest Administrators Prefer BetterBNC

Leave a comment

We asked administrators of media, creative and PR awards programs what they liked about BetterBNC’s platform.  The number one answer was tech support – our tech team has consistently earned high marks for being responsive and thorough.  The second  response we heard most frequently was that we listen to feedback and suggestions from contest administrators and provide them ways to learn from others.

It’s been an important part of the platform’s growth and development.  We created an Admin Advisor Group comprised of ten contest administrators with experience using the platform.  The advisors review platform enhancements and provide feedback on features and modules such as a new communication feature that’s being added this month at no additional cost to our contests. (Stay tuned – details are coming soon)

As well, we created a LinkedIn group just for BetterBNC contest admins providing them a way to share information and ask questions of others using the platform.  It is a private group – admins simply request to join.  Simply look for BettterBNC Contest Administrators under LinkedIn Groups or click here.

Coming Soon!  Redesigned BetterBNC homepage and new communications feature.  You can request a complimentary demo of BetterBNC – simply contact us today.
