While the interface has a steeper learning curve some other programs, it allows for much more customization and analysis than the other programs I have played with. The support staff (Kevin) is lightning fast to respond to any issue or question. I have been using Trailblazer for almost a year now, and can't imagine switching to another database.

Trail Blazer was a HUGE step up from running our committee on Excel, Word, and email.

Pros

As Treasurer of our committee, I use all of the financial functions as well as the campaign finance reporting function. Trail Blazer makes my job easier and more efficient.

Cons

Being a geezer, the lack of ability to increase font size presents challenges at times.

Bare bones, but affordable

Reviewed on 09/11/2018

Pros

The price, it's a fraction of other CRMs. The support generally is very good as well

Cons

It's not very intuitive to use, time-consuming, and does not sync with Constant Contact or other major e-mail service.

Essential to adequately track your Fundraising

Reviewed on 22/08/2022

Pros

Trail Blazer is a user-friendly and straightforward way to track and report all information essential to fundraising - donors / contact info, contributions, pledges, events, and communications.

Donors: Easily track contact information, contribution history, log notes, Household information and a MULTITUDE of other areas. Interfaces with our state's voter database to easily import voter data on the spot.

Contributions: Simple data entry feature to assign contributions to a committee / client, dates, amounts, with notes / reminder pop ups if a donor is nearing his limits.

Pledges: Tracking, with ways to send communication reminders though the system as follow-up.

Events: Creation of events, logging of contribution, record of interfacing with a donor for responses / notes.

Communications: Ways to create and send mass or individual emails with email tracking.

Additionally, the customer service is second to none. I can email or call at any time of the day and the team is ALWAYS able to help me. They are always open to creating new features to make things work even better!

Cons

Email interface takes some time to get used to. Connecting through a Remote Desktop (on a Mac) sometimes presents challenges.

Response from Trail Blazer Campaign Services

Thank you, Kelly! We really enjoy working with you and your team. If you ever need help with building email templates, campaigns, or anything else, please call or email our tech support team. We can either perform a remote session with you, or schedule a live one-on-one training session that can be recorded.
