What a summer!
Between launching our brand new website and being recognized in Profit 500, Point Alliance has had a busy yet exciting past few months.
But there is still much to look forward to with the turn of the new season. Point Alliance opens up the Fall with a new customer survey. This was designed in effort to continuously improve our customer service and better understand our client’s needs. Past and future Point Alliance clients can expect to receive a survey in the coming weeks, or shortly after project completion. We kindly ask you to please take 2 minutes to complete the quick survey. Your feedback is most valuable and will be instrumental in enhancing our current services and processes.
With the end of September right around the corner, we also find ourselves closer to determining the winner of the Website Giveaway Contest. This contest, held in partnership with Agility, celebrates our 11th year milestone and is open to all Canadian registered non-for-profit organizations. Eligible organizations are asked to communicate why they are deserving of a new website to grow their business. The submission deadline for this contest is in a few short days (October 15th) so please make sure you get your submission in (and remind other qualifying individuals!)

Anniversary Contest
What better way to celebrate our 11th year milestone than to give back to the Canadian not-for-profit community. Point Alliance has been working with local not-for-profit organizations since they opened their doors. We understand how important it is for organizations to have a web presence. With that, we will be hosting a contest open to all Canadian registered not-for-profit charities/organizations.
The prize? A free website and hosting package worth $20,000! Eligible participants need only submit a short essay on their need for a new or revitalized website to enter.
