| BENEFITS
With PTASECURE, your PTA or PTO will have a website that achieves the following goals:
1. Provides Online Administration of Website Content and Data
Your volunteers will not need any special software to add content to your website or perform administrative task.
2. Protects Private Information from Public Viewing
Don't let outsiders view personal information such as email addresses and phone numbers of your PTA volunteers. With PTASECURE, you can protect the information you want from the outside world! Plus, you can even go one step further and allow only PTA members to access the student/parent online directory.
3. Promotes Membership & Processes Online Payments
PTASECURE makes it easy to join the PTA. Information is automatically pulled from a user's profile to complete their membership form. Users just select their membership type, indicate a donation amount and select the number of additional directories they wish to order. A total amount due is automatically calculated. Members can print out a completed membership form to mail in payment or they can pay online via PayPal.
PTASECURE reminds parents to join the PTA. Sometimes, parents can't remember if they sent in their membership form and payment. Therefore, a “To Do” list appears on the home page after a user logs in. If a user has not joined the PTA and paid their dues, they are reminded to do so.
4. Generates Additional Income
During the membership selection, users are given an opportunity to add a donation and order additional directories. Experience has shown that members, who pay online, donate more money and order more directories!
Links to Box Tops Marketplace and affiliate programs, such as Amazon.com Associates Program, can be added to the website to maximize your PTA’s revenue earning potential.
