We'd like to have a big marketing push to increase the number of Gift Aid declarations we have on file: it's worth a lot of money to us.
Has anyone achieved this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to get people to update their GA preferences directly within the application, but as we're on TNEW I don't think this is possible without a hefty degree of customisation.
Anyone want to tell me I'm wrong and that it's dead easy...? Has anyone done this before? If so, what did you learn?

*Gasp* That’s super-smart. What a brilliant idea! You are a very clever cookie, Mark Ridley. I shall investigate immediately! C.// X.

Hi Chris
Our Development department have done this using Wordfly emails, as I have amended our LP_UPDATE_EMAIL_PROMOTION to look for click throughs on two urls (a yes and no) to quickly add a gift aid declaration to their accounts. As Wordfly passes in customer number etc mean customer doesn't need to login, the pages are static html as there is no need for code on the page and so Wordfly and the SP do all the work. Also add a check in to see if a customer was changign their declaration status and send an email to the dev team to investigate.
If @response_code = 4
Begin
If @url in ( 'http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/yestogiftaid','http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/notogiftaid')
if @url='http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/yestogiftaid'
begin
select @declare='Y'
end
else
select @declare='N'
if not exists (select 1 from T_GIFTAID_DECLARATION (NOLOCK) where customer_no=@customer_no)
Execute @ga_decl_no = AP_Get_NextID_function 'GD'
insert into T_GIFTAID_DECLARATION(ga_declaration_no, customer_no,giftaid_type,eligible_ind,contact_method,document_status,recd_dt,start_dt, ineligible_reason)
select @ga_decl_no,@customer_no,1,@declare,3,6,getdate(),dateadd(year,-4,GETDATE()), case when @declare='N' then 5 else 0 end
end else
if exists (select 1 from T_GIFTAID_DECLARATION (NOLOCK) where customer_no=@customer_no and eligible_ind<>@declare)
select @subject='Email Gift Aid Declaration Eligible (' + @declare +') for customer ' + convert(varchar(10), @customer_no),
@body = 'Customer ' + convert(varchar(10), @customer_no) + ' has submitted a second declaration but this time set Eligible to ' + @declare +'.
Please check this account.
Thank you'

Thought as much. Ultimately, I’m opting for an online survey-style affair… I think it’ll have a higher take-up, especially as you won’t need to be logged into Tessitura to make it happen. Hmmmm. Thanks for getting back to me! C.// X.

We have done a few Gift Aid drives and found them very worthwhile but we don't currently have Gift Aid declarations online or any way for customers to amend their Gift Aid status on the website so it was all postal but paid for itself through the increased amount we could claim.
