National Pharmacy Technician Association Decides Schipul -The Web Marketing Company Is Just What the Doctor Ordered
HOUSTON, March 15, 2004 – The National Pharmacy Technician Association (NPTA), the world's largest professional organization established specifically for pharmacy technicians, has selected Houston-based Schipul – The Web Marketing Company to help maximize the effectiveness of its Web marketing initiatives.
Schipul was selected to use its Tendenci™ membership organization software to integrate and consolidate the various functions of NPTA’s Web site (www.pharmacytechnician.org), including continuing education, automated e-mail, database management, and event planning and registration. With Schipul’s help, NPTA will improve operational efficiencies and introduce new member services, such as self-guided online continuing education programs.
“Like most member organizations, we consider the Internet to be a vital tool for managing valuable member services and advancing our mission, and the Schipul team has helped us fully realize that vision,” said Mike Johnston, CPhT, founder and executive director of NPTA. “Since relaunching the site, we have been inundated by record traffic to the site.”
“We unlock the full value of the Internet so our clients can improve efficiency, increase customer satisfaction and increase sales,” said Ed Schipul, CEO and president of Schipul. “We are proud that our work on behalf of NPTA has had an immediate positive impact.”
Together with Schipul’s Web design and search engine optimization services, the Tendenci membership organization software consolidates an organization’s secure membership directory with other capabilities that typically require numerous separate software tools. Tendenci offers organizations a single solution for event planning and registration, calendar software, job board management, electronic newsletters and Web content management.
